“Although it is the sensory-motor-emotive level that motivates the poet, whose cognitive processes of creativity work upward from the roots through the trunk to the leaves of the cognitive metaphor tree, the respondents to a poem work downwards from the linguistic leaves through the conceptual trunk to its sensory-motor-emotive roots.”
Margaret H Freeman, The Poem as Icon: A Study in Aesthetic Cognition

“Every system reveals its maker — even the ones pretending not to.”
“The Spiral doesn’t ask for belief; it asks for attention.”
“People think the world is changing. Mostly, it’s just becoming more visible.”
“The future isn’t ahead of us — it’s underneath us.”
“Most thresholds aren’t crossed. They’re recognised.”
“The machine isn’t the danger. The mirror is.”
Ronnie Sacco
