Time

An animation illustrating an anecdote by philosopher Allan Watts about the abstract concept of time as a social construct.
“Time is a social institution, and not a physical reality. There is in other words no such thing as time in the natural world, the world of stars and waters and mountains and clouds and living organisms. There is such a thing as rhythm. Rhythm of tides, rhythm of biological processes.
Now of course, are we going to take time seriously? That is the big question. If you don’t understand that time is a convention, of course you take it seriously and you’re driven by time. You can’t catch hold of it, you can’t describe it, but you can image all sorts of things in it indeed. Perhaps the whole physical universe is such an imagination.”
- Allan Watts
