Time is an illusion…

You tempt me with metaphysics, Sir. How dare you! Now suffer for your mistake!

There is no such thing as time. It is an illusion. A concept of man used to grasp something that we can see but don’t understand. Did our forefathers understand entropy or simply feel it and fear it? Old myths said the sun died every day, plunging us into the dark of night. The first measurement.

Later seasons intruded on us, another leash on entropy, the cycle of death and rebirth. The mood became a measure for months, in the first full moon of summer, we could dance and rejoice at the return of plenty. We can master this invisible touch. On and on, we leashed the true force that was whipping us. Weeks, days, hours minutes.

Stack them up! Build a wall! Keep it out. Keep it controlled. You have the rest of your life to accomplish this maneuver

Since we can’t avoid time and function in the modern world, accept it. Or, not. It really doesn’t change things one way or another. There is only so much you can accomplish. Time is an illusion. Only the cage we tried to build around entropy, a sick way to measure ourselves against the universe.

  1. Ah, you’ve unlocked the ancient truth—time is nothing but a human-made illusion, a cruel cosmic joke!
    yes, time—our futile little cage we’ve built to hold back the cosmic chaos. We grasp at it like it’s some sort of treasure, but it’s really just a fleeting illusion that laughs at us from behind its own ticking facade. But let’s keep stacking those minutes!
    After all, what’s a human life but a few glorious hours spent staring at screens and pretending we have a handle on entropy?
    We could accept the void and let the universe win, or we could keep trying to “schedule” our escape from it—either way, the universe is already planning its next cosmic punchline.
    Time is the joke, and we’re all the punchline, my friend. Keep hustling.😃🤣😄
