Haha, segway.

 

This has be3en a long time coming, but I have utterly given up on the concept of Time.  I just stopped believing in.  Now, now, now; I can hear the grumblings and internal monologues going "Dear narrator, one cannot just simply give up on a belief in Time, it would be like saying 'I have stopped believing in gravity' and be surprised that I don't simply float away."   To that complaint I say that if you were half the man I am, you would have floated away by simply claiming gravity doesn't exist!

 

I keep hearing these outlandish claims by different ages groups on how much the world has changed, even over the span of one-lifetime, and when looked at through the lens of history the scope is increased even greater.  In the case of a single lifetime: A life does have the appearance of change, it has aspects of having changed through out the procession of time, to which I have to ask, of the individual, was there ever a point where you were such as such age, or such and such day, or have you merely stitched together a belief that your life has moved of a linear timeline to explain why you have memories and feelings that you, as the individual, have changed?

 

Ramble-y stream of conscious thought, wasn't that just?  Hi, I am Josh, it is a pleasure to meet you.

 

In other words; because we are still the same person, we have never changed, we have just kept going forward.  We, as the individual, have created arbitrary divisions in our memories to compartmentalize our lives to make it easier to comprehend.  There was never a point where I was a six year old boy, just as there is no 26 year old sitting here now.  I am bound to the "Now" and as soon as I try to identify the "Who" that is being referred to within the time line, that "Who" has already become something different.  We exist in the "Now" and think in the past.

 

Does that make sense.  Still feels a little wishy-washy.  

 

Time is of the mind whereas life is of the now!  Booyah!

 

Now, when looked at from a generational stance, people are apt to say the world is so different than what it was.  Is it though?  "Waking Life" has this amazing speech about some writer guy and the Bible and 44A.D.  I won't sully the speech by even attempting more than a paltry paraphrase: writer guy thinks time doesn't esist, that we are all living in 44 a.d.  I agree.

 

The world is just as messed up as it always has been and its as perfect as it ever will be.  A computer appears to be an advancement but so was an abacus, or writing, or speaking, or body language, or fire, or communal groups, and blah blah blah.  Any achievement we have has some sort of facsimile that past generations have had, we are not special or unique.  Our world is in no more threat of ending than the ancient Romans...wait...I meant the British-FUCK, pick a country that never ended and run with that.

 

The internet is no different than the forums of Socrates, nothing changes, nothing will ever change.  Time is an illusion of the memory, time is fake, don't be a noobtard.
