TIMES, TIME, AND HALF A TIME. A HISTORY OF THE NEW MILLENNIUM.

Comments on a cultural reality between past and future.

This blog describes Metatime in the Posthuman experience, drawn from Sir Isaac Newton's secret work on the future end of times, a tract in which he described Histories of Things to Come. His hidden papers on the occult were auctioned to two private buyers in 1936 at Sotheby's, but were not available for public research until the 1990s.

Tech gadgets are being used in nursing homes to bring back the past, in order to improve the spirits of the elderly. From Gizmodo: "An old man in a nursing home is described as being depressed, unresponsive and 'un-alive' until he hears music from his era. When his caretaker puts the headphones on him and flips on the iPod, you can see the pure joy on his face. ... He starts listening to music around the 2:15 mark of the video. It's a long video but it's totally worth it, technology tapping into nostalgia." He remembers Cab Calloway and the 1943 popular song, I'll Be Home for Christmas.
