Can thought be measured? The ending of time is the beginning of intelligence. What is intelligence? Is there a difference between intellect and intelligence? Ah, music 🎶

The illusion of saving up for when you retire, an age after you are dead.

That was beautiful Wes. I enjoyed it so much I actually did loose a sense of time. I'm lazy which most of the people I know or have known think is a defect; au contraire, to me it's a valuable asset which I will defend until death. From an early age, I have always enjoyed the process of contemplating, interrogating and sleep… in that order. I think I need a servant! Or a home helper at the least. 🤗 Bravo Wes ! Ciao 4 now ☕👍

“The sense of time is made by us” statement is true because of the fact that all of us know what we know by our own human minds or by reading and understanding the information of other human minds . So yes Time as we know is created by us(human beings).

The first part of this is very wrong in my case. "we tend to project in time a self that is very similar and continuous" I did the exact opposite of this when I was a kid. I distinctly remember thinking about whether to plant a tree when I was about 7 years old, and deciding against it because I figured that by the time the tree had grown big enough to climb I would no longer be interested in climbing trees. I'm now 30 years old and I climb trees all the time (mostly rocks though, rock climbing is my main sport at the moment), and I deeply regret not having planted that tree.

I think the point being made by saying “a self that is very similar and continuous” is actually very right in your case because here you are using “I” to describe yourself in the past, you consider the same self from the past to be who your are today. There is a really interesting book called “don’t sleep there are snakes” by Daniel Everett explaining how the Piraha people of the Amazon occasionally change their names and will no longer claim their experiences with the previous name as their own.

More about time perception: When we blink, our brains erase the time during the blink, so we don't get black flashes. Blinking speeds up time. Echoic memory is our brains storing the last five seconds or so we just heard and only then retroactively deciphering what it just heard. That's not to say we don't decode in real time, but when we are not paying attention, like when someone calls for us, this is the reason we can understand what they just said.

Also a future where you becomes a Buddhist absolutely does not make a mockery of your savings now. Quite the opposite. you cannot renounce all your possessions unless you have possessions. Buddhist monks will often refuse to accept students who have not yet acquired possessions. You must "succeed" in "normal life" before renunciation can carry any meaning. It's not just about realising that material possessions are meaningless. It's about the process of giving them up.

Want to change that? Mathematics seems to he temporal. There doesn't seem to be an eternity of concepts. Have to disagree.

44:19 I’d love to hear how this can be applied to notion of “regret”. How often should my past self have been reasonably expected to accurately know what my future self will have wanted?

I’m interested in the concept of “metanoia” as it relates to time and our ethical orientation within time. This has sometimes been translated (or personified) as regret and repentance.

Here's another way to think of time, instead of it flowing, it would be frozen and energy/matter would pass on it, Brian Green has a good documentary in which he describes it in this way, the visuals make it easier yo grasp the concept. WHAT IS SPACE BRIAN GREENE Documentaries kzitem.info/news/bejne/2bCby36YcX2il4I Did time exist before the universe? All the space/time we can observe is in this universe... or in a sector of an infinite universe. It's not "space + time" btw, it's spacetime and has some fluid like properties, it curves and bends. If interested, Physicist Cosmologist Leonard Susskind,series of 10 lectures 'The theoritical Minimum' kzitem.info/news/bejne/yoCc3WqifZ6FqHY I learned a lot there.
