If you’re reading this blog post, chances are you belong to some culture that is at least a little obsessed with time.
The Persistence of Memory – by Salvador Dali
At least – a culture that’s obsessed with the time on your clock. Or your boss’s clock.
But stop a minute and ask yourself what time is.
Is it a physical thing? Is it moving? Is it flowing? Is it real? How can we be sure that “time” is happening at all?
How would you describe time to an outsider? What would you consider as being “now?” Is it this very second? Or this one? Or this one? Is it today? This general hour? When does now stop and next begin?
Try not to let your brain turn into putty while thinking about it.
