Basically you've stopped growing so now life is just kind of a long uninterrupted stream that's why it feels like time is passing faster.

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?
The concept of speed presumes the existence of time stop triggering me please not all of us believe your bullshit

humans think logarithmically, so as you age each complete day represents a smaller and smaller portion of your entire life and is thus less meaningful. hope this is helpful

I'm in my early 30's but my life has seemed very long, yet every other day feels like it's Friday again, so I guess the weeks have been going by extremely fast lately.

Yeah everything is moving faster now. There are 7 billion people on the planet, so you probably met at twice as many people in your life compared to some dude living in the 70's. Then that is compounded by technology. either people having access to more transportation, or just chatting to some fucker over the net.

Like also tech makes it easier to do stuff and get more stuff done. Like check out discog.com by decade: https://www.discogs.com/search/

In the 1970's 809,000 albums were made, while during the 2000's ; 1,956, albums were made, and in teens 1,494,000 albums have been made already. And that's just music. Movies, Video Games, and books are all being pumped out.

It's all just fast now because there is so much.

You're biologically/heuristically becoming more efficient at compressing time. You yearned for death's sweet embrace to speed your way, and so now your brain is doing the best it can for you in the gentlest way possible :angel:

I read science on it one time they suggested that as you get older, you have more memories to comb through, so that makes you cut out some filler portion of each day and thus time goes faster as you get older


do not worry, death is coming for us all

Here's one weird trick that works. Time almost stands still when you are bored. So just do nothing and stare at the clock. You do that for a day it will feel like a year.

EDIT.

Also it's loving work that's doing it. When you had no responsibilities you measured time in days. You get a full time job you start measuring time in weekends. Bam a 7x speedup.

I can verify this one. Imagine powdered glass rubbing between your joints every time you move. I am not going to get all hyperbolic and say "oh it's a hundred times worse." No it's loving EXACTLY like that. Even a blanket on your leg is too much to bear.

No its beyond that

There's probably a biological reason worked in (it gets worse if you work out a lot) but also instead of learning and being stimulated you are now trying to do the exact same poo poo every single day so you don't get fired/whined at

It's because adults don't have regular milestones in life like young people do. Once you get a full-time job your on the express train to a dull repetitive life.

every night i write in a journal how many days it has been since i began the journal. this is basically like scratching a tally into the wall of my prison cell.

i was curious about the sensation/perception of elapsing time on a daytoday scale, so i wanted to actually track that tension.

i don't think it's served to either speed up or slow down time but only to make both of those sensations more acute (they both coexist constantly).

I already made the Singularity like a month ago* there was a whole earthquake and everything beforehand.

*I made it in my skivvies while I was tripping serious balls at the time so I may have misplaced it in the aether since. I think- I think the singularity's might be trapped in my balls... but there's only one way to find out! :wiggle:
