yes, Carl, this is my worry about advocating slowness - some will see it as a form of nostalgia, the point of the slowness I am advocating is to place a torque on everything, to reveal the ultra-speed of things and images - it is an aggressive act of disruption, rather than a soothing act of reparation which would a possible next move in a strategic game of velocities. To practice a nostalgic slowness might create a feeling of soft well-being, but it would be the illusion of airliner, the 'traveller' apparently 'at rest' in their seat while being hurled through the sky.
