Hi Mar,
re:
"an essay is started four hours before is it due..."
yes, time can be subjectively experienced as 'short'. :-)
re:
"how would people in such world eventually learn to count time?"
yes. i see that you've also taken an approach to time as largely a perceptual problem.
after reading a bunch of the posts here, my own thoughts have changed/sharpened quite a bit; would like to get the chance to rewrite my own essay.
i saw your comment on the quote i'd left at Ms. Privulescu's paper. thank you.
i suspect i share a similar feeling about it, but can see how several here might view what is expressed in it as a tyrany inviting one to strive mightily against rather than dance with.
welcome to the party!
:-)
