What is a home?

More about the release

Well, the written conversation about what a home is or can be and what kind of homes might exist, maybe shows that this isn't a literal question. While it of course could be, with the simple answer that the home a rabbit or bunny is a rabbit hole. Obviously a virtual purple bunny might have a different home. But no, home in the sense of a place isn't really the interesting question.

What is a home ?

They sat in a cafe sharing a table. One asked: "what is a home?". The other looked a bit confused about such a question, but then said: "Hm, apart the obvious, like a place where one lives, it can have a different meaning depending on the context i'd say". "Sure, but can you explain what you're think about?" After sipping on his glass, he took a deep breath signaling that it would be not a short answer now. "Sill rather obvious home could also decribe a state of feelings like something a bit synonymous to feeling to belong to some place or group of people or also a single person. This means it's not necessarily related to a physical place. Still in most circumstances some place will be related, at least a virtual place where time is spent by someone or some people. So examples, which unlikely anyone would call home would include an arbitrary place in an ocean, unless you're fish or something. Or the moon at least for it's current state of habitability." "Indeed. Or the sun, hardly a home for any living thing." "Yes, on the other end of the spectrum of likelyness would be a house for people to live in, a region or a country. For virtual examples, an organization. Or a group of friends." Thinking about what was said, the first one replied: "A common property of home would be something, that someone wants to come back to. Or something one spends a lot of time at. And one could also say, something one often doesn't want to leave or only leave tempoarily". "Makes sense". "Also not a singular thing, someone can have more than one home. Physical places and even more so virtual ones". The other sipped again on his glass and then asked: "why you're asking this?". "Simply was wondering about my own home or homes and what they are. Or if they still are really homes or maybe less than i usually think". "To what end?" "Good question, partially only a thought experiment, but also a potential decision point on what to focus on. In a way, what home or homes are more desireable going forward" "Ha,Ha pretty philosophical!" "Yes, sure. As most thought experiments probably are. But coming back to the different forms and meanings of home, very specifically for any profession or activities there will be also an area where one will feel more home as others. Simple example if a football player's "home" is goal keeper, not mid field." "Okay sure". "And for an artist, musician it could be an instrument, e.g. guitar, or a set of intruments. Some genre of music or specific activity. Again specialization as in most professions. Often it's not a strict border, but it seems people exist, who mostly or only do Mastering of songs of other people." "Well why not?" "True, unless this home would be somewhat occupied by AI tools" "A .... with a tool, is ...." "Still i mean times change things or professions, they always do". "Obviously it's often not a choice, but some outside forces what one can call a home or even what can be a home". "Well, things are often not simple, aren't they? Related to home it means, that a home is not necessarily static not a permanent place or thing. One can move. Or one is moved. Or the home even disappears. Normal change". "A home is usually not a restriction even in the narrow sense of a physical place, one can temporarily travel" "Good point, doing travel". And with this the first stood up and said good by to the other one.

The search for a home

Created by

That purple bunny which evolved as the glbkst avatar - which would be a long story in itself - or at least the profile picture which stayed. I never thought about if it has a home. Until recently. And i decided to think about it.
