Good writing and a buffet line of related topics. Clearly you value intellectual explorations grounded in the range of scientific and philosophical perspectives. That’s fun!
I’m reading Spinoza, Leibniz and Bergson now because it feels like flow is in the air. It feels like time is a highly appropriate issue right now, as the seemingly inevitable, teleological “end of history” has blown time into a million pieces his year.
Amidst all theories, where is earth rotation & celestial trajectory acknowledged as practical basis for our 24/7 measuring of time, even in an eternal now, there is dusk, dawn, phases of the moon, tidal reoccurence … it seems to me that academic avoidance of natural cycles leaves out the obvious just to keep “searching” …

Well that was a romp!

Thanks for the post!
Something is going on….not sure time the concept can really explain a thing beyond an invented measure^^
I don’t mean to complain about this great piece but I think a guy named Albert Einstein had something meaningful to say about time 😎
Got me thinking, what things are timeless? Is anthing timeless? Enteral? Or am I misunderstanding “timeless”?
Buckminster Fuller said, something like, “There are three things in the Universe, energy, energy as matter, and human conscience.”
Time is just change.
