Heh, the acceleration of time you noticed already in high school seems to be a universal and natural experience; and the acceleration itself accelerates decade by decade the older one gets. I can imagine making it into my 80s and feeling then that I'm actually in freefall toward the end. The more time you accrue in your memory banks, the less profound any particular moment in time - whether past, present, or future - necessarily becomes because (as you intimated) everything tends to blend together into a larger and larger whole. This is one of my own secret interior arguments against immortality, because billions and billions of years of memories would tend to become meaningless against the vastness of the whole. An immortal consciousness might eventually reach the equivalent of the speed of light in their accumulated experience and lose all awareness of any passage of time. I had to smile at your mention of Kant, because of all the philosophies I examined in my youth, those of Kant and Hegel impressed me as being intense to the point of ridiculousness. Sentences went on and on and blended into monstrous paragraphs taking up page after page, as both those gentlemen took up one specific idea (or even just a fragment of an idea) after another, held them up to the light and turned them this way and that, and completely exhausted every possible element of meaning in them - and then more often than not just came back to the most prosaic and commonsense interpretation of phenomena and pronounced them justified. Don't regret reading them; but don't recommend them to anyone not already consumed by delight in doggedly endless ratiocination. That Pats towel is like a bullfighter's red cape to fans of just about any other franchise in the league, you know. 🤨

Haven’t actually read many yet but ik a fair bit about him and his philosophy. His very long books have steered me away from him but I’ll probably give him a chance sooner or later

@@Deadphilosopherssociety I agree his conclusions were quite sane and attractive, but (good God!) he was like a dog with a bone chewing every little nuance of every word and phrase until the bone was stripped absolutely bare.

@@Deadphilosopherssociety Yeah, he definitely covered all the bases ... and then took victory laps around them all until the stands were completely emptied of spectators.
