MyShCh & Zenosyne — or, why us?
The Word
John Koenig, in The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, forges new words by braiding roots from Ancient Greek, Latin, and the Anglo-Germanic family. That’s how Zenosyne was born.
The anatomy of this enigmatic coinage:
- Zeno — from Greek ξένος (xénos), «strange, other, alien,» and also a nod to Zeno of Elea, the philosopher of motion and time paradoxes. Read it, then, as both the alienness of time and the Zenonian sense of its paradoxical flow.
- Syne — from Greek σύν (syn), «together, with.»In Koenig’s poetic English, it carries shades of at‑once‑ness, current, merging. It also echoes synchronize, hinting at time’s rhythm and pulse.
The Meaning
So, zenosyne names that estranged, paradoxical feeling that time is speeding up, years blurring as they run ever faster. In childhood a year is an ocean; by mid-life it slips by in the blink of an eye. Each new «unit of time» feels shorter, because it’s measured against an ever-larger sea of lived years.
The effect is alien to reason—like walking straight into Zeno’s arrows and tortoises. For Koenig, Zenosyne is an existential sensation: «the sense that time accelerates with every year, and you can no longer live it to the full.» It isn’t a scientific term so much as a poetic bottle for a nameless feeling.
What does MyShCh [Mais] have to do with it?
As you may recall, MyShCh (pronounced «mais») is also a neologism — an acronym of «My Soul History Come Honest.» Unlike Zenosyne, MyShCh gives you a way not to accelerate time, but to slow it down.
How?
By kindling good feelings and bright thoughts—and building community around them: your partner, your family, your circle of friends or colleagues; a tiny meetup in a modest village or a sprawling conference in a megacity like Dubai or Tokyo.
It’s well observed that joy stretches a moment. We try to linger in the instant of unfeigned happiness.
The MyShCh platform exists for exactly this. With us, you can:
- Discover a rich calendar of events,
- Create your own,
- end gifts to the people who matter,
- And gather in private groups whose doors open via NFT access.
NFT — what is it?
In the dry light of realism, an NFT is a non-fungible token.
We make it a many-sided thing:
- On one face: a token of encouragement, reputation, identity. As Vitalik Buterin framed it — a Soulbound Token(SBT), bound to your «soul»: not transferable, but changeable.
- On another: a ticket (the NFT in its purest form)—your right of entry to events, including in XR spaces: a gallery in Spatial, or DEFCON in Nevada.
- On a third: a wrapped NFT (wNFT) — a vault for almost anything: tokens, coins, other NFTs. This is the one we (with your help) turn into gifts.
And if you think it through, MyShCh lets you use NFTs not only in all these guises at once, but also across time:
- Past — to record what’s already happened, of any kind or scale;
- Present — for identification, authentication, verification, and their many -ifications;
- Future — to reward whatever human activity the future can imagine.
«Okay, I’m in — what’s next?»
If you’ve said those magic words, your path awaits—where time tangles, but your stream of thought stays clear.
In this moment, with doubt spent and gone, you can:
- Sign up — literally in a single click,
- Start exploring kindred events on the calendar,
- Mint tickets for your event,
- Plan gifts for its participants,
- And then craft the finest SBTs.
All told, you’ll need 3 to 30 minutes—and with a little practice, even less. In other words, we first speed up your time (registration) so we can then slow down your guests’ time—making it richly useful, engaging, and memorably joyful.
