14:52 I heard this story somewhere on the internet of a young person, who I think worked at some kind of retirement home, who was talking to a very elderly woman. The old woman asked the poster something like “do adults tell you about time before the internet, and how it’s dangerous? And how they didn’t have it back in their day?” The original poster, of course, responded yes. The old lady then responded with “that’s what my parents told me about electricity.” That may be my favourite example of these “illusions of time”. Me, writing this message on a computer that can fit in my pocket, could talk to someone who didn’t even have lightbulbs as a child.

To be fair, electricity universally expanded productivity. Most of our population is spending more than half of their free time hopelessly addicted to a dopamine button. People are still playing cause and effect on why society's overall intelligence is declining but... clearly occupying half our mental energy with Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and KZfaq (a process that puts people in a dopamine deficit for the rest of the day which is directly tied to depleted motivation) is going to impact participation in challenging activities. "Electricity is the Devil" and "I am physically incapable of stopping myself from picking up my phone to check for notifications every 90 seconds"...

I've always been fascinated by the connection between our sense of smell and the triggering of memories. After my mother died ,I bought one of her favorite colognes just so smelling it would make me feel like she was there with me
@matthewlacey4198 18 күн бұрын
I've found that smell can give really really vivid memories, like walking past someone and being able to smell that they wear the same perfume as a girl you used to go out with years ago, or smelling a clinical, hospital smell years after a grandparent or family member was in hospital, it puts you right back in that moment, and you smell it and instantly go "that's the smell from this place and this time"

Part of the reason songs from the 90s don’t seem as old to us is because by the 90s recordings became so clear and well balanced they don’t sound (like they were recorded) much different than those of today. The recordings in the 60s sounded sounded very different from those in the 90s because the technology was so primitive.

Protagonist syndrome is real. I remember asking my mom when I was seven or eight, "There's got to be only one *me* in the world, right?" referring to myself. Because I could only feel my own emotions and experiences and no one else's, I couldn't quite grasp at the time that other people also had subjective experiences.

When I first tried VRChat I felt a strange sensation. Unlike the Internet VR gives presence: the feeling being in some space, a virtual space. And when you realise you share the space with people that live in actual reality far far far away from you, like thousand miles, it blows your mind. At least it does to mine. It's like finally experience what singularity does really mean, when a distance does not matter. But the time is not yet broken.

I just realized, in the time travel segment of the video, if people in the past viewed their present as a continuation of their past, then that explains why they had a tendency to scrap things that we today would've tried to desperately preserve in a museum, so many old locomotives, tanks, and cars were never preserved other than by photograph, and I always wondered why that was, but now that I understand their worldview on the present, it makes sense now that actively preserving the past is as recent of a trend as it. thank you Michael, you open my eyes to so many things I had only wondered about in passing

My sense of time is so fundamentally broken that this feels like a geometry lesson. Powerful hallucinogens can give you the impression of millennia in sequence, watching civilisations rise and fall. It's hard to keep track of what day or time it is - hard to remember ages, because I see people as a temporal spectrum constantly being re-expressed through a singular point, on a path that looks linear from the perspective of its own movement but is constantly forking out into various possibilities then collapsing into physical realities from an external view - more akin to a crystalline matrix than a straight line.
@hieronymusbutts7349 8 ай бұрын
This doesn't mean that because there are infinite possibilities that there is a timeline in which you live forever - infinite numbers between 0 and 1 does not allow for a 2. As you age, the number of possibilities first increases and then decreases, until all timelines end with your perceptive existence of them (i.e. you die and your body ceases to act as a function of measurement to create time as a comparison of physical states between iterations of possibility [quantum state] and reality [how the quantum state collapses into a particular physical state])

Teenagers now could feasibly sit in their room wearing heelies, listening to early Linkin Park music on an iPod Shuffle while they text friends from a refurbished flip phone, saying they feel like they were born in the wrong decade, and that concept genuinely scares me, since I did the same with spiked hair, Daft Punk on a walkman, and a landline phone, wishing I was born in the 1980's.

I am in a room. It is dark. I am tied to a chair and my hands are bound with rope. A small light flickers above me. I am hungry. When was the last time I ate? The small doorknob in the corner begins to twist. A door opens; my eyes flick up to meet him. It is none other than Michael Stevens, the host and owner Vsauce. I fill up with questions? Words clog my throat, thickening like honey, and as they smooth out and start to pour the words none can even come past my lips- Michael cuts me off. “I’ll be the one asking the questions.” He goes out of view, “where did he go?”, I wonder. There was a flash in front of me, revealing his face once more. He greeted me. “Hey Vsauce Michael here” my eyes wander and I become Starstruck, for right in front of me was Michael Stevens shirtless. He caressed my neckbeard slowly, he started rambling on. “Where are your fingers?” Sharpening his knife in a good ol’ pencil sharpener. He walks over to me, takes one look and says. “This is easier shirtless because dry cleaners ask questions about stains.” He starts tearing into my left thumb. Slowly chopping down, onto each finger. I was sweating so much that the aroma last nights Taco Bell was starting to fill the room. Unphased he says “Ya toes, hand ‘em over.” I stare into his eyes as he stares into mine. My eyes are filled with pleas for help, and his: lust. A lust which could not be satisfied by normal means. He demanded my toes again, but that were not satisfactory, for he wanted more. I had to get out, but I wanted to know more. My lust for knowledge grows ever greater with each passing second. Why was he doing this? Or rather why to me? I felt so helpless. I felt like I had been left alone in a sea or words, none of which I understand. Perhaps I had gotten lucky, being his choice, being chosen. I don’t know, maybe I’m just the crazy one. I stared where my toes once were. I guess he took them, my toes. I had handed them over, what else could he want? “I will now ask the question, What makes us ask questions?” He knew my question, for he had known it from the start.

This explains why the first month of lockdown felt like it lasted 3 years but the subsequent 3 years lasted two weeks. Basically, March 2020 had active election drama, civil unrest at every turn, the beginnings of an economic downturn, _and_ no one had ever seen a global pandemic and its consequences. However, during the next few years, we had already seen normal life (even with the added politics and anger), so after such a cataclysmic shift, when our brains expected more novelty, and when it didn't get it, we just blasted through time like nothing new happened.

The last three segments starting from chrono saunder, scared me. I understood it too well. I thought there’s something wrong with me. I also thought i was the only one in my family to have this perspective. Until i found this video. From my experience realistically, time flys when you’re filling up space in isolation or your perception that it went by quick because too much has happened in that period of time. When you count the years let’s say 2017 to 2023. Wow that’s old already once you count the years. Wow the video i’m commenting on right now is already 2 years ago. When you feel time flys, that’s you reflecting on how much has changed. Therefore, giving you that illusion that the older you are it feels as if you know everything too well about understanding things that it becomes boring. As a child i didn’t knew much about the world. So i still remember things vividly from an adult brain, but barely from remembering back when i was 5-8 years old. As i had a conversation with my sister of what i remember when i was little lol. But these memories they were abstract and small details. I notice as an adult, it’s harder to remember things recently like a month ago or even yesterday lol. What i notice about time? When i had yard work at the new house. It was insane labor and we dug holes to fill them up with concrete. To make a patio and a deck for our backyard. That whole entire day felt long and i enjoyed staying there at the new house. But i notice something that scares me. When you fill up time with contemporary distractions. You get the illusion that social media or technology makes it seem like time flies or when you watch an old video it feels and looks old as heck. Not until they smile or it brings colors. Then it feels timeless. Me (22) “i remember in Feb 2019 i went camping with my family!”Someone i had a conversation with, (15) “wow that’s old i bet it was fun” Me: “To me that’s not old but for you yes because you were younger.” The perspectives with age are different. perceiving time with numbers of it feeling not that long ago. My experience and takeaway, don’t use social media too much. Do a lot of work or something productive. Time goes by slow that way. And lastly, live in the present. Everything you do will be nostalgia in the future. If you found this thanks for reading btw. Just my experience.

I work in a nursing home, I often see elderly people old photos, some look old in black and white or yellow, others tho look so recent, the quality of the pictures look like the ones we have today but then I see my elderly patient when they were younger and it confuses me so much, like a saw a pic of my 94 years old patient in the 60’s she was dressed like in the 60’s movies with the hairstyle and everything, but the picture looked so recent kind of looked like a costume almost. I love looking at their photos and see how they lived, the black and ones convey the time frame but the good quality colored pictures are mind boggling, like what do you mean this pic was taken in the late 60’s?!? And how you were already old back then and still here today?!? Like how does it feel being alive so long?

Yesterday, my mom and I were driving through the neighborhood in which I was raised, and she remarked about the state of the roads and how in the world they seemed so unmanaged. It occurred to me that when my parents moved into the house I grew up in, it was 1974...almost fifty years ago now. It occurred to me immediately afterward that when I and my friends were riding our bikes on those roads (seemingly all day, every day) during the '80s, the same amount of time prior to that would've been the 1930s...before either of my parents were even born, and thus not unlike the very-rundown streets I knew near my grandmother's house. And that is ULTRA weird to think about, for some reason.

Being in my 50s now I am just amazed at how much time has passed between events I clearly remember and now. For example I was recently looking at a photo album and saw a photo of myself sitting on a pedal car that I got for Christmas one year. I rode that thing around seemingly forever, and when I saw the date - well let's just say it was good I was sitting down because I got that car for Christmas 1973, which means it was closing in on 50! years.
