In today's (late) episode, Jack and I discuss hypercollectivity and how it is an indescribable 'thing'. It's like seeing your crush dance with the boy who can actually play football, it's the taste of your first after-work pint, and the delirium of winning the Lincoln Sunday League Division 2 title. Experiencing football is experiencing these things we call 'qualia': its the 'supra-feeling' you get from doing something - why is that first sip of a pint the best? Why did you just *have* to be there for that funny event? This is qualia - the atmosphere, the feeling, the joy, the agony and the hypercollectivity that encompasses the beautiful game.

For good or for bad, some footballing experiences will last a lifetime. They're timeless, they're with us forever. Jack tells us this is kairotic; the Greeks called what we call 'deep-time' Kairos, the opportune time to do something, the feeling of living in the event, that timeless feeling where it seems like time stands still.

So what happens when you put the first sip of beer and the feeling of timelessness together? You get football, it's a simple equation. Listen to us show our working.
