"Year"

The year increments 30 times per second—1,800 years per minute; 108,000 years per hour. Every time it does, a calendar is rendered with each month laid on top of one another. Below plays a set of questions acting as subtitles, scraped from Quora's "The Future" topic.

I like that one can just keep clicking in calendaring software and schedule something to occur 20 years from now; aspirational scheduling. Will Google exist in 20 years to remind me of my upcoming event? Will I?

When you schedule something with others there's the ritual overlaying of calendars. One "finds a time"—a hole of potential in our routines. Calendars are all about that cultivation of potentials. I made this after imagining the stack of calendars that scheduling creates in one's mind when pursuing those holes.

Quora is a kind of litany. I've been looking at it a lot lately but the answers aren't ever that interesting. This makes me want to build a proxied version, so as to render a copy of it sans answers. Another kind of hole of potentials.
