I think time is real but a very squirrely concept. The stars we see are years, decades, even billions of years in our past.
If beings in the vicinity of those stars had powerful enough telescopes, they would see nothing but bacteria living on this planet… yet, at both ends, we are experiencing “now”.
Everything we experience - see, hear, taste, smell, feel - happened fractions (sometimes significant fragments) of seconds ago. Yet we experience it all at the same moment due to brain wizardry.
Travel just below the speed of light and time slows to treacle. You also become significantly flatter - actually physically flattened. But only people looking in from outside would notice.
Time is deeply, deeply weird.
Since an Ocean separates us bro.lol
Time is merely a measurement of existence.
Past, Present and future. A measurement. A way for humans to quantify and even use it for science, history, poly sci, industry, ($,£,€,¥,₩.ect per hour), life stages and our fundamental understanding of reality.
second(s), minute(s) Hours (s) days(s) ect.... many times more, a lot.
The seasons in many parts of the world.
Crops, animals, our very existence is dependent on time.
Like I have to wait for my meds to kick in. When to take more, when the time is right,
and when to eat.
Legit medical, scripts, to deal with pain and problems I did to myself. Take Benzos on an empty stomach. Oxy, works better if , I, take it on an empty stomach for legit pain, then wait a certain amout of minutes and try eating, some food.( you play, you pay).
Prisoners with non life or sentences that are Not basically life. Unless, reincarnation was real.
Imagine that, over an over getting life.
I would be the biggest, pro-death penalty advocate ever.
Hoping, to not end up in North Korea, the next time and so on. LMAO.
Me: Well this is better than, The Gulag, referring to almost any other prison or "re-education camp).
--------
Alcohol: count your drinks, ( I did when I had shit to do). But then again the 90's were my 60's, so explaining and remembering, much of it is complicated.( don't remember, and too drunk and or wasted too care).
I learned to count a lot better after dropping out of College( University).lol
Once, I Had waited in the county drunk tank, for about 16 hours, but they said I was still drunk. At the time, thwe legal limit in America was .l0 BAL or (.08) and I had to wait about 6 hours till I blew a bal below drunk. ( I Think it was still .10 BAL, here at least in my state).
Not a DUI, just walked and went to the wrong place, very very drunk.
It was an SUI. Staggering Under the Influence. ( disorderly conduct ticket and a fine). Fucking Gaurds took my gold necklace and gave me check, instead of my cash.
WTF. It was cold, evening and worst of all there was a liquor shop within several hundred meters. From this county lock up. ( SADISTIC ASSHOLES !!!!!!). They knew I had no plastic( credit cards on me) in my wallet. They even took the change.
This was when pay phones were still being used. ( over 25 years ago). lol
Nothing serious. I was being( irresponsible at being; responsible). I wasn't driving. One instance, and one of many similar things.
Also, Einstein. Look up the time and light speed, stuff. I jus woke up. I need my meds to kick in. (Too hungry but, then I have to wait for one of them to be digested).
Also I don't want to waste any Valium( Diazepam). Or taking the chance.( legit script). Wasting 10mg Valiums,(legit) is still a waste.
So timing of eating, in terms taking certain meds is important.( This is a Bluelight type example, don't take when you shouldn't). Harm Reduction.
