Time is a river rolling into nowhere
We must live while we can
And we'll drink our cup of laughter

The finer things keep shining through

You see, but you do not observe.

just place a marker at any point of the circle, if you see it again it means it's a circle, or maybe even a sphere

Think of time not as a line or a circle but as a river infinitely branching out into countless different rivers for eternity.

It's hip to be square, therefore time isn't a circle.

I came across mention of a Gnostic codex called The Unreal God and the Aspects of His Nonexistent Universe, an idea which reduced me to helpless laughter. What kind of person would write about something that he knows doesn't exist, and how can something that doesn't exist have aspects?
Yeah, but what if time is orthogonal?

the linear way we see time is a cosmic and evolutionary accident the reason we haven't met any other life forms is because they are "smeared" through what we call time and if we "observe" them we constrain them to a singular reality and therefor would commit genocide over and over every picosecond again its difficult to explain in human language but just trust me i have contacts
