    Time without a face

    What time is it? That such a bizarre question has become commonplace shows how thoroughly we have internalized the clock and accepted it as reality. It's hard to think of time in any way other than minutes and seconds, which has made us as a species incredibly productive (and a bit neurotic) over the last several centuries. In this episode, Ellen explores how this miraculous invention took hold of our minds, and how we might wriggle free.    References: Technics and Civilization (1934) by Lewis Mumford Revolution in Time (1983) by David S.

    Ad tendere

    Many of us wrestle with our attention, struggling to read a book or even watch a TV show without picking up our phones. But what if the way we talk about attention is making things worse? What if we are cheapening something that is sacred? In this episode, Ellen discusses three inspiring ways of thinking about attention, and why it's worth it to make the effort.  https://firstcreatures.com/podcast

    Games to play inside your head

    Did you ever play games as a kid that didn't require any special equipment or the ability to move around? Games that you could play on endless car trips or while waiting in a long line? Such games were our primary line of defense against boredom back in the days before smartphones. Now that we're adults (adults with smartphones, no less), could it still be beneficial to have a few games like this up our sleeve? In this episode, Ellen Riccio describes four games and activities you can play inside your head, all by yourself, when you want to get out of your head. These games gently coax you out of your thought loop and into having a conversation with the world. The games: (5:45) A Hundred Years From Now (14:35) The Documentary Game (20:50) This is Not a Tree (28:55) A Poem To learn more, and to support the podcast, visit our website.

    Quantity Time

    Just hanging out with friends. It sounds like something from a bygone era, or like something you did when you were younger. In this episode, Ellen makes a case for doing it now, even (especially) if you are a busy adult saddled with responsibilities.    Learn more, and support the podcast, at firstcreatures.com/podcast
