I was thinking about how time flows and stuff, metaphysically, because I am not very good these days with the equations. I then got thinking about language, and wondered about the statement, that seems meaningless “kal ke baad aaj parson hai.”
Whatever I have learnt about Liguistics, tells me that this statement is self-contradictory as far as meaning is concerned. This is so because, kal means both the yesterday and today and parson is both the day before yesterday and the day after tomorrow. Now the day after(baad) yesterday is today. While the day after tomorrow is the day after tomorrow(lame of english not to have a word for this day, my language has such names so that you can talk about the whole week without naming a single day, parson,tarson, narson, sarson(and the rhyming effect too)) .
So in a way today is the day after and the day before, in a confused manner of speaking. So we would claim this meaning to be meaningless. Obviously because today is today and tomorrow is tomorrow. Yet that is not a real difference(metaphysically speaking). It is a judgement that we have made, arbitrarily, we made it I don’t know how many years ago. This judgement, this rule of thumb, ignores for a start time dilation, the earth moving around the sun and how ever more degrees of freedom, it laughs in the face of the ever dilligently moving photon, would be bold enough as the presume all of quantum mechanics is falsehood. This falsehood propagated by cult leaders and men in power seeking everywhere to subjugate the Freeman, for all these situations arise out of some unbeliveably ridiculous and completely undefendable strategy towards life that our so called elders and ancestors employed. You really want to know what was their lifestyle. Consider two facts 1) the total number of humans that has ever existed on earth would easily be 100 to 120 billion, depending upon how far ago you want to start counting from. Today as I sit on this computers screen and type these words a further 30% of our current population is DIEING of starvation. Thus extrapolating from these two facts one can go on to say that to a first approximation, taking a limiting value, one can claim that no man has ever lived, if such a claim was to be made maybe a few hundred thousand years from now. So how does that make you feel about yourself? Infact similiarly we can claim that all humans diead as infants. We are very lucky indeed, especially those of us who have the chance to type and read this.
What should we do with this chance? I fool myself by claiming that I need more knowledge. I will only get more ignorant.
