It is time for us finally to free ourselves from our subjugation to time! From time immemorial, people have preoccupied themselves to an ever-greater but more irrelevant degree with time. Instead of envisioning natural phenomena in which they themselves are implicated as timeless, they have attempted to get a grip on time to comprehend it, to impose time on life, or to tame life in a timely manner. In doing so, our species has not yet been able to come up with anything smarter than rendering time measurable, metricising it, in order to master ita fatal error, which, with no let up, still deludes us today.
