Does Consciousness Require or Determine Time?
Ask yourself that question: does consciousness require time in order to exist, or does consciousness actually dictate our perception of time? It has occurred to me that perhaps time requires and even dictates, to some finite extent, what we perceive as consciousness. I believe quite firmly that “consciousness” itself is something outside of time and space, but that doesn’t mean that one doesn’t possibly relate directly to the other.
It is important to distinguish between the time that we know exists in four-dimensional spacetime and the time that we perceive to exist via consciousness. Maybe I’ll coin a term here – time as we perceive it should be called psytime. Give me my Nobel Prize!

“Please tell me your not serious.” Please tell me you know how to actually use “you’re” in the proper way. Back to third grade for you…

Please, stop your coprolavia. As the wise man says: If you can’t say something more precious than the silence, then, you better say nothing.

I’ll assume the word you’re looking for there is coprolalia. If I assume correctly, than you’re misusing the word. All this post conveys is some deep thought into the nature of time. It is speculative, philosophical. As another great man says: those who ask the great questions are a great inspiration. I’m just trying to ignite a conversation about the things that, in the end, are the only things that matter
