Further Treatises on Time... (Humans)
Imagine the chaos that would ensue if you told people they couldn't remember yesterday, could not plan for tomorrow, and that there lunch date at noon today was postponed indefinitely because noon does not, in fact, exist, neither does tomorrow or yesterday.... > > > > Here you miss my point... > > > I agree, by the way, that time as a 'thing' is non-existent, but it is a useful tool. > > And here you get it... what gives? > > You're missing some context, but my overall point was that time is only a snapshot of states, not a discretely 'real' thing.-I didn't miss the point at all, I was merely pointing that that even though time is not "real", without it, all we would have is chaos because the human mind is not equipped to live in a "timeless" state. We all need our little delusions, they make life more interesting.
