Marking time: griefbots, world-time, and the phenomenology of bereavement - Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences

Bereavement has long been recognised as an experience of profound temporal disruption, unravelling and even severing the connections, meanings, and strategies we habitually use in navigating time. The...

I only read a couple of pieces, I think I'll have to go down that rabbit hole. (And resist the thought that there's a paper in this haha) I do prefer their first album, there's something so desperate and unbounded about the sound. But the latest is still good.
