i used to think that things moved, and one of the ways things move is they can sorta wiggle in place at a fixed cadence, and you can use that wiggling to create a clock, and point at it and go "HA! TIME!" and your computer has a few of those inside it, and that's basically the basis for wage slavery and the general oppression of the masses, but now I'm of the mind that it's easier to just lie and say time is real to do all that stuff.

instead your computer is filled with all sort of wiggling things and they're all wiggling at different speeds and don't agree, and some of them also don't wiggle at a fixed speed

@artemis oh no. I assumed the sound card's clock was driving the audio subsystem so long as the connection graph was directed

It’s not. It was invented by the Swiss in order to sell watches.

Fake analog, or round time was better. In the circle it gave this moment in the context of the sphere we stand on. And the other sphere we move around.

Digital time disconnects from that. Now is just a bunch of numbers now. Unconnected from past and future.

Writing this, I’m thinking of light color time.. the color of a clear sky at a given moment of a day based on color of solar light refracted at specific angles of the day.

I think of time as based on brainwave oscillations as ticks.
Periodically interrupted by moments between breaths.
