Thousands may soon be evicted in NYC
I believe a 3% mean s your apartment was rent stabilised. Commercial property has no such cap on increases. The problem for me was my income stayed the same for a decade. So even though my rent was low in 1997, apartment was becoming unaffordable.

Time Markers or experiments with time.
So when I say a season, you can see it as a colour. I do a similar thing except instead of a colours, numbers have meanings to me. So instead of a season I am looking at a second of time. And that second tells me what the season is for the time following it. so In Spring you have an idea of what the weather will be , so I have an idea of what time will be like in the near future. If you can associate a relationship with a color, then you have created a correspondence system. I do the same thing. The only difference is that I have a few different categories that I use; Astrology , Tarot, Numbers, two synthetic languages or rather alphabets or symbol set. Plus I use these tools to read the unconscious mind since it seems to think in Symbols and stories.

Three to the 8th power Not certain how this is measuring intelligence. You either get it right or you get it wrong. So there is no scale for using this "test" to determine intelligence. Aka 81 squared.

No what I do is find the feeling external or mental state that I or the querent want to have then I calculate the time . Like I did for you when you answered all the Jeopardy questions. It was the time of understanding which was chosen for you.

Okay So I go through my Rolodex of Time to find the Time that I want to visit me or a friend. Have you both lived in different cities which have shaped you differently? Was her career more of a traditional one versus being a writer?

@Cynique Time Codes, Time Signatures, Time Notes, Rolodex of Times. What colour is Spring and Autumn? Do you and your friend have spirited conversations because the two of you have had a different philosophy, outlook or lifestyle?

@Cynique When you write there's the informational content then there's the cadence, poetry and feel for the right word. It's the same with time makers. The idea is more mystical/ poetic than scientific. Think of describing your confusion as a colour. What is the colour?

Astrology as practiced by the Mayans, Hindus and Egyptians was the fusion of Mysticism and Science to create a Cosmology
The following is from the Wisdom Library. https://www.wisdomlib.org/definition/prana Source: gurumukhi.ru: Ayurveda glossary of terms Prāṇa (प्राण):—1. Vitality. 2. Breath of life , 3. Spirit 4. Life Source: Wisdom Library: Brihat Samhita by Varahamihira Prāṇa (प्राण) refers to 4 seconds, according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 2), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa)-Accordingly, “We shall now proceed to give a brief description of (the qualifications of) a jyotiṣaka. [...] He must have a correct, knowledge of a yuga (43,20,000 Solar years), varṣa (a solar year), āyana (6 solar months), ṛtu (2 solar months), māsa (a solar month), pakṣa (15 solar days), ahorātra (a solar day), yama (one-eighth of a solar day), muhūrta (one-thirtieth of a solar day), nāḍī (one-sixtieth of a solar day or 24 minutes), vināḍi (one sixtieth of a nāḍī or 24 seconds), prāṇa (4 seconds) truṭi (33, 75th of a second) and parts of a truṭi and other divisions of time and also of divisions of space”.

Astrology as practiced by the Mayans, Hindus and Egyptians was the fusion of Mysticism and Science to create a Cosmology
All below quotes are from Georges Ifrah's The Universal history of Numbers ARE THERE MYSTICAL REASONS FOR BASE 60? Sacred numbers played a major role in Mesopotamian civilisations; Sumerian mathematics developed in the context of number-mysticism; and so it is tempting to see some kind o freligious or mystical basis for the sexagesimal system. Sumerian mathematics, like astrology, cannot be disentangled from numerology, with which it has reciprocal relations. Therefore it is by no means impossible that certain of the Chinese number-signs may have had essentially magical or religious roots, and were directly related to an ancient Chinese number-mysticism. Each number sign, according to its graphical form, would have represented the “reality” of the corresponding number-form. Maya science was practised in the high temples: astronomy was what the priests did. Mayan achievements in astronomy, including the invention of one of the best calendars the world has ever seen, were part and parcel of their mystical and religious beliefs. The Maya did not think of time as a purely abstract means of ordering events into a methodical sequence. In fact, we will see that these major discoveries stem from the incessant study of astronomy, poetry, metric theory, literature, phonetics, grammar, philosophy or mysticism, and even astrology, cosmology and mythology all at once In short, Indian science was born out of a mystical and religious culture and the etymology ofthe Sanskrit words used to describe numbers and the science of numbers bears witness to this fact. Together, the discoveries in question represent the culmination of the uniqueness, wealth and incredible diversity ofIndian culture.

Sweetback and Superfly are the stories of Black men dealing with crooked cops and trying to get out of the system. So if you look past the antagonist's character you would actually see the narrative. Sweetback was trying to get to Mexico and Priest was trying to retire out the game. Both characters really that were players in a game stacked against them. Which is an entirely different position than Hattie McDaniels, from my perspective. Two crucial contemporaneous assessments of Sweet Sweetback help illustrate the ideological and cultural investments in the film in its time. In June 1971, Huey P. Newton, cofounder and minister of defense of the Black Panther Party, read the film as a modeling of Black revolutionary struggle: “It is the first truly revolutionary Black film made, and it is presented to us by a Black man . . . It shows how the victims must deal with their situation, using many institutions and many approaches. It demonstrates that one of the key routes to our survival and the success of our resistance is unity. Sweet Sweetback does all of this by using many aspects of the community, but in symbolic terms.” In September 1971, Lerone Bennett Jr., a historian and the executive editor of Ebony at the time, took issue with Newton’s analysis, the film’s pornographic content, its conception of a Black aesthetic, and what he saw as its stereotypicality. Sharply, yet in the key of respectability, he dismissed the film as “neither revolutionary nor black. Instead of giving us new images of black rebels, it carries us back to antiquated white stereotypes, subtly and invidiously identified with black reality. Instead of carrying us forward to the new frontier of collective action, it drags us back to the pre-Watts days of isolated individual acts of resistance, conceived in confusion and executed in panic.” https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/7545-sweet-sweetback-s-baadasssss-song-i-m-gonna-say-a-black-ave-maria-for-you

Choices without the freedom to choose is meaningless. Which is difficult unless you can free yourself from cultural, societal and environmental issues. For example being entertaining has a higher value than being truthful.

Curtis Mayfield one of the most conscious black artist did the music for Superfly. He said it was a story about redemption. Sweetback is a runaway slave narrative. Which is referenced in a NWA track 100 hundred miles and running

Do you know the Earth Wind and Fire did the music for Superfly? Also I think Melvin Van Peebles ran out of money during shooting. He got the funds from black entertainers. I believe Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte were among the donations
