I wanted you to know Amrit...
I have an affinity for your topic too. I think you spell out some essential aspects of the story of the moment well. We don't see eye to eye on every point. But I think you might be surprised how much we are in agreement on.
I once gave a workshop 'Time enough for love' where I taught the participants a bit about the nature of time, and then explained that we create our own future - but only insofar as we are living from the heart, because the heart is the center of time.
One of the people who attended was my friend and Native American author Evan Pritchard, who wrote a book entitled "No Word for Time" where the title refers to the Algonquin languages, where there are words for the seasons, and the progression of things, but no concept of clock time in the language.
In their view; the consensus world of a clock time that everyone can agree on is just more of our culture's craziness. Things take as long as they take, and you are done when you are done. This of course is Turing's theorem, at work - according to the mathematicians - but it is part of the traditional wisdom of native people too. Go figure!
All the Best,
