Interview from The New World

15 Feb 2025

Hello, can you hear me?
– Yes, I can, but the connection is a little poor here in The New World (they’re working on it).

Ok, good.
– I’m really excited for this interview, but we need to do this one a bit quickyer than we usually do, if that’s okay? The New World does have a very different concept of time. Hard to explain, but basically; here, time is so present that you can extract it from tree trunks or collect it from filtered sea water. It has its pros and cons. I almost injured myself by stumbling over a big chunk of time the other day.

Amazing. And yes, of course, let’s go!
– Let’s go. Let’s start at “Let’s go” and from there, make a left turn to the core of The New World’s Map of Think and Do. Hurry up! We got no time to waste! Or as we say in The New World: “We waste got no to time!”

There is no game you can play and never get bored of some day.

So, The New World’s Map of Think and Do – is it some new kind of cognitive structure to make everything in life better?
– No. Haha, I’m sorry it’s not. It’s just a new version of the old game. But who said there was a problem with the old game? We play the old game here, but we like games in general, so we play all types of games. Let me explain by some quick drawings I made today – and what I figured out by visualizing this, was the importance of never thinking you’ve found the perfect game. There is no game you can play and never get bored of some day. You get obsessed by them in periods (like I’ve played The Office obsessively for years), but you always find another version that works better at a specific time in your life. But the drawings, yes, The New World’s Maps of Think and Do:

This is really interesting. Makes me think of spagetti.
– I know right?!

It seems like KROPPSI has a way with Food.

– As you see: Spagetti is Food – and Food always knows better than mind, we say here in The New World. Food also has a strong connection to KROPPSI, which is a deep ingrained concept of presence here.

KROPPSI?
– Such a perfect word, don’t you think? It just popped into my head some day, and I knew it was true, because I started giggling. It’s best explained by symbolism, and if you start to look for it, it might appear. Here are two examples, which I caught on camera only months apart. It seems like KROPPSI has a way with Food, as I mentioned, and Graffiti too! Like a toddler, and a teenager. I wonder what the fully evolved KROPPSI will look like.

Is there any connection to the Norwegian word ‘kropp’, meaning body?
– Some say it might stem from that word, but we do not have a record of it. You could trace a blurry line from ‘body’ as matter and ‘presence’, but I know that in The Old World this tracing can’t be stretched like a pair of gym socks, the fibres does not allow for this. Doesn’t matter when you apply it to corn flakes or flip-flops though, you don’t need them to stretch! But when we’re moving toward the merging of matter and presence, physics changes – the gym sock stretch gets close to infinity.

I’m not sure if I understand, could you mention some examples of this?
– You wouldn’t steal a handbag, and you wouldn’t steal a car. Both the handbag and the car are important samples, and you will have to shred the copies to make them fit into your brain. Since infinite now can’t be separated from neither the shredded copies, the blueprint or the original idea, it does become a little too weird to cook a meal on. I get that. The air fryer doesn’t always do the drill. At least you’ll have to bring some friends to that dinner – if you know what I mean!!

You wouldn’t steal a handbag, and you wouldn’t steal a car.

….(does not know what she means, but also doesn’t want to be rude)
– And luckily KROPPSI has a lot of friends, maybe you’ll understand it better if you meet them out in The New World when you come to visit some time?

That does sound nice. I’ll check my calendar, and see if there’s a junior suite available in the near future. Also, I hear you have a mullet train, I’d love to try that!

Disclaimer: this was the first attempt of connection to The New World. If this interview feels off, it is very understandable. We hope to get a new and improved connection very soon. Meanwhile: thank you for your time and patience.
