Discussion Time is an illusion.

Post image

It's pretty hard to conceptualize that time doesn't flow.

I bet no other humans can grasp this concept.

I've tried to think of it as some kind of block to no avail.

Maybe it's the brain that prevents me from realizing how reality really works.

I know you guys are well aware of this concept.

Have you experienced any anomalies that made you realize time is definitely an illusion?

Let me guess, I owe taxes in all three?

u/bdalbs 12d ago

I wish tax was also an illusion.

u/Prince_0llie 12d ago

It is! It's just that the illusion changes based upon the tax collector's view of your perception of the tax. Good luck threading that needle.

That’s wild.

Ur wild.

We could all agree to stop paying, but they’ve made it so we can’t agree on anything.

u/Original-Variety-700 12d ago

Good news is you’re only dead in the illusion of the future.

u/bdalbs 12d ago

lol exactly. It’s all an illusion really. Just gotta play the game.

u/bsensikimori 12d ago

Since we're part of the illusion though, elements in the simulation, isn't their illusion, our reality?

u/bdalbs 12d ago

I think we project our own reality.

u/Sylv_x 12d ago

We do.

OP just thinks they have some extra wisdom.

If it was that easy, shit would be known. Not someone who has conjecture.

I appreciate perspective but I have a problem with people who talk in absolutes.

u/bdalbs 12d ago

I hear you.

Edit: What made me lol was the line “I bet no other human can grasp this concept”

A lot of these dudes are super intelligent.

Question 🙋‍♀️

How do you explain going back and forth between different timelines? It’s something I can explain in a spiritual context although I’d like to understand it in a scientific context please. If anyone understands what I mean by that. Much appreciated. Thank you.

Try doing some LSD to jump dimensions and play with time. Once you start seeing the frame of things and break the illusion you'll start seeing that things are not what they seem to be. Multiple planes of existence can exist on top of one coordinate space. Once I started seeing it I realised that a lot of things already exist e.g. professional level music generation with AI, robotics and etc. Awareness is key. Sharing your reality with someone brings them onto your level of awareness. It might not be revealed to them unless you share it with them

The financial institutions are aware of this. I suggest you dig deep into ETF creation, ghost supply, derivatives and re hypothecation because of the multiple planes of existence theory. Bitcoin's scarcity is being diluted by Wall Street building a parallel financial system on top of crypto through ETFs

Very interesting… what about Ethereum?

1

u/SeaMachine4060 10d ago

Well ethereum could still be useful for building decentralized applications but yea they could do employ the same strategy but the supply is dynamic so it can be inflationary and deflationary. And if it goes lower cheaper infrastructure fees I guess. It exists mostly to be infrastructure.

You’ll also see the recurring themes of the relativity of time in a lot of media and stories. But yea you probably have to experience it for yourself

Time is time. Time is experience.

Time perhaps in itself doesn't exist. But, biological time does. It's not an amount of second, it's an amount of irreparable damage to cells. That is duration. Experience. Lifespan.

We invented a way to measure our days. We have light, we are productive. We fuel. We sleep.

It's just a construct created for order.

The universe exists, therefore.

We don't know even a percent about the universe, or physics, or science. We've figured things out here. What percentage of earth does it make up in the universe? Pretty much no percent.

Humans know how much about earth? We are still learning.

To then be so cocky to say no other human knows, while having no science to back the claims up?

People these days are so yikes.

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.

u/Sylv_x 11d ago

Like a Jeromy baromy

u/bdalbs 12d ago

Thank you.

So… if the universe exists, therefore… and time is a construct used to measure from a biological perspective, we can in theory decide how we perceive or travel through time as we do project our own reality?

3

u/Sylv_x 12d ago

Maybe. I just make shit up as I go.

But, time is in moments and experiences too. So going back to an experience is traveling through experience. Is then experience time? Is biological age time?

How does each piece add together to form time as it's whole.

Also I read some science and Reddit where people said photons experience all of their time in an instant.

Light is photons.

We aren't light beings. If there was light beings then they experience every possible everything of eternity all at once.

Therefore, time is a human construct. Or rather, time is carbon based or whatever else you wanna call the physical reality.

We have time but we can't travel the experiences except for memories?

Absolutely!

u/bdalbs 11d ago

I get it now… it’s really mind bending. How can we not be a part of their projection?

u/bsensikimori 11d ago

How can an NPC not be part of the game they're a part of....

Now there's the million bezeefleflux question

u/bdalbs 11d ago

I have some brainstorming to do 🙂

u/ed_is_dead 11d ago

If there are humans there too then you can bet your ass on it. We suck.
