The experimental time freed from rent pressure, not entrepreneurial time, produces the new

Evidence

These developments precisely opened up a kind of time that is now increasingly difficult to access: a time temporarily freed from the pressure to pay rent or the mortgage; an experimental time, in which the outcomes of activities could neither be predicted nor guaranteed; a time which might turn out to be wasted, but which might equally yield new concepts, perceptions, ways of being. It is this kind of time, not the harassed time of the business entrepreneur, which gives rise to the new. This kind of time, where the collective mind can unfurl, also allows the social imagination to flourish. … If there is to be any kind of future, it will depend on our winning back the uses of time that neoliberalism has sought to close off and make us forget. — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 1638

Categorization

• DEEPTHINKING: An unusually dense, paradigm-level distinction: productivity and innovation do not come from the pressurized, optimizing time of the entrepreneur but from seemingly wasted, unaccountable time. This resists one-sentence summary and inverts a core modern assumption about where newness comes from.
• XREF: Connects to the reader’s silence/noise corpus: the claim that ‘wasted’, unaccountable time is where the collective mind unfurls runs parallel to how productive silence is that which is not filled with informational chatter. — connects to: Absorbed, non-distracted time is required for genuine innovation and creative work — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk: The Collected and Unpublished…, 1636; Revolutions happen when obstacles to pressure are removed, not when they are created. — John T.
