       I was thinking just now of Hegel’s claim that he saw the Zeitgeist riding across the battlefield of Jena, and I thought: whatever happened to that Zeitgeist. Oh, right, Google ‘enclosed’ it as name for search trends a decade and a half ago, and we’ve been wandering in the desert ever since, not just missing a Zeitgeist but missing the fact that we were missing anything at all. Then it hit me: now, finally, we have a 👉🏼  Zeitvibe  👈🏼.Since amateur neologism is my lifelong avocation, I looked it up. BOOM! Only two prior sources?! But the real question is how vibes could be e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e these days but Zeitvibes are nowhere?

       @tb The particulate matter of cultural exchange stays in solution because change is now too self-consciously quick, so the vibe never gets to settle into a nice layer of geist.
