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.

Your Time is Limited

Introducing Apple II (1977). Image Source: Macmothership.

"Almost everything—all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure—these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart. Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life."

-Steve Jobs, from his 2005 commencement speech at Stanford University

    Jobs commencement address was the best I've ever heard, and of course there have been great ones.

    Dia and Thomas, thanks for your remarks. I suspect that we barely grasp how much Jobs changed our world.

    All due respect to the man, but if I seriously thought about how limited my time is, my likely reaction would be suicide. -J
