TIME'S UP!

Time does not exist, other than the now. In fact, this model of reality demonstrates that time does not exist except as the impact of ‘events’ or ‘movement’ upon the mental processes of life within material reality. Noting that ‘time’ is existent only as a perception by life within material reality, by extension it can be postulated that ‘time’, being a perception and not a ‘thing’, must have nuance, and differences in its state of perception. Stated another way, time is not a constant, but rather is a perception and therefore is affected by the mind doing the perceiving.

Considering the interest profile of Bread & Circuses and the topics followed here, it was only a matter of time (pun intended) before we got to the complex machinations of Clif High's mind. Here's a man who is not afraid of grappling with the greatest philosophical mysteries of human existence.

On his website halfpasthuman he makes forecasts for the future based on linguistic analysis of publicly available material on the internet, his software churning emotionally laden phrases and memes from the group mind and putting out data for the predictive reports, available at $10 each on the website.

Read, for instance, his fascinating essay on the impossibility of time travel and this one on the nature of “time".

The acute reader will note that High's theories resonate with the ideas of psychedelic pioneer Terence McKenna and his Timewave Zero.
