Escape From Noise

 A trick of the brain. We try to create meaning for it, perceive it, contextualize it. Some say that the continued march forward for humanity was only made possible by our attempts to quantify time but the only ones tricked by this is ourselves, trying to force order on the chaotic forces of nature.

So, in short, that's why I'm "late" for work.

 time is physical thing (physics), the closer you move towards it the more it slows down.

 I just want to refer back to this classic joke_explainer post

joke_explainer posted:

wife: "well, good night dpimpjedi. by the way, it was my birthday. you forgot again."

dpimpjedi: *logs into byob* "what is time? an a priori notion, that together with space, allows us to comprehend experience. Just elements of a systemic framework that structures experience. True simultaneity cannot exist, neither physically or epistemologically. one cannot be said to have missed an event in such a structure"

 i kind of thought i had the basics of reality sorted, before i learned how time/space bends tru gravitational forces. since then ive accepted that my limited monkey brain perceives the world in a certain way, and that epistemology is the road to madness

hello friend


 gravity isn't real it's sunlight exerting pressure, that's why they want you to go to sleep at night - jumping is slightly easier and more fun after dark

 If you are watching this in the future, know that time has had its way with us, and that we knew it would. And it will with you. There is no escaping this. In a strange way, it's what makes life so beautiful and strange, that nothing alive stays the same.

That's how I turned insane, imagine, some time ago I was normal but then time happened and now I'm an illusion
