Does Time exist?
What would a world without numbers look like?
Would we even wake up? What is there to wake up for?
I suppose as the human brain indicated a need to adjust the internal plumbing pressure we would be awakaned.
Not because the sun had risen to a certain point in the sky or because we would need to catch that train or start the car. We would merely obey a central nervous system command to get some calories into the body or to dispose what the body did not need by way of waste.
So life must have seemed for Homo Erectus and its relative brethren as in relatives = No clock and no numbers. Just variety of flora and fauna waiting to be tasted. Many an erectus would swing by another on front or rear or all limbs, checking out the opposite sex or same sex for reasons hitherto unknown.
The expression - when it was time - would lose significance in a world where such an idea would be irrelevant. Nothing would be done in a timely manner since to do anything would be an ad hoc activity. 'Come on time' would be an oxymoron. Those pre historic humans must surely have had a good time - I mean been experiencing constant 'high' since there was no concept of 'Waste of Time'.
Any old jackass could come and smoke what he wanted and get wasted but not be equivalent to a waste of time.
I sometimes get that feeling in corporate America! Have we come full circle, not in time but...?
