    Time? Meh..

    Time is an artifice, a construct conjured in our monkey brains in order to facilitate our acquisition of bananas. The concepts of both time and distance are but a thin veneer of monkey realism covering an infinity of uncollapsed wave functions:

    Shrug. Tell me that knowing you make a reality by collapsing wave functions makes you any happier or loving. Because it sure doesn't look like it from here.

    I don't dwell much on what folks like you perceive or don't perceive.

    rofl, so you lack the most important skill to cope, according to the article.

    And without that important skill, communism and faggotry commence.

  10. There are two sets of time. Our time as individuals and time itself. Time itself is a constant measure that does not change or give any appearance of change. Our time as individuals is relevant. It can be and is manipulated, usually at an unconscious level. We live in spans as long or short as the events around us impact our "state of mind". At the very same time we occupy the time itself space in which there can be no manipulation and no state of mind can change it. The issue with humans being unable to get our minds around just how short a period we have been here is that we have no reference point to measure in our own minds. In short, we have no internal clock for time itself. How long is a million years? I, you, have no idea. How long is a day? While our state of mind may alter by a few minutes, we do have an idea of how long a day is without using a external clock. Our internal clock is sufficient.
    Yes, I have an interest in time and enjoy any discussion about it., without the reference to religion or politics.
