Ep 102: The Theory That Changed How I See Time

So we've been taught to think that time is linear, that it is in a straight line, and it follows a sequence, past, present, and future.

But what if that's just how we humans experience it here on Earth? And also, what if that was just the constraints that we kinda built for ourselves? So our reality is built around what we believe.

If that's what we believe is true, then that's the reality that we live in.

Now, the human experience is divided into these categories.

We have yesterday, today, and tomorrow, seconds, minutes, weeks, months, years.

We have birthdays.

We have calendars to keep track of all of this, but nature doesn't.

Nature actually doesn't even follow the same schedule that we do.

They follow a 13-month calendar, I believe, and we follow the Gregorian calendar, which is a 12-month one.

Don't quote me.

I didn't research that first.

I think that's just the notes that I have in my, in my mental filing cabinet.

The universe doesn't celebrate New Year's Eve.

We do.

We created that, and actually, other cultures celebrate New Year's Eve on different days than, than we do following the Gregorian calendar.

The Earth is simply moving.

That's it.

It's moving circular, and experiences happen.

The sun goes around.

Seasons happen.

Everything kinda happens in a cycle, I will say, but how we timestamp that is really up to us.

How we make sense of that is really up to us.

The way I view time is a little less like a ruler and more like our brains trying to organize our experience.

We use it to organize the experience of our lifetime and even some of the events that happened throughout history, which I don't even wanna get started on 'cause I think that that's construed as well.

You guys are getting some truth serum these last few episodes, where I'm really just opening up what my, what my thoughts are on some of this.
