I enjoyed all the levels and schools of vibe you packed into the piece. I know that you know that vibes go even deeper than the abstract understanding that comes before the experience -- vibes are all there is and certain vibratory combos persist long enough for us to consider them real and solid.
What really stuck with me is the explicit acknowledgment of vibe as a "pre-linguistic quality". I was struggling to verbalize why it is that we can all pick up on a vibe, relate to a vibe, and give off a vibe without really being able to put it into words. Your essay gave me concrete words to describe impressions I've been discussing with friends in media for a while, and I keep coming back to it for this reason. Thank you! Always a pleasure reading your work.
