[Platt] > When was that? "First" implies a point in time. Your mistake is seeing time & experience as independent. It's NOT like time was merrily passing along with nothing happening, then experiences started popping up. Time just is the sequence of experiences--the first moment of time is the first experience (&, of course, vice versa). [Arlo] > "Time" is a perceptual pattern derived from the experience of > sufficiently complex patterns of life. Atoms do not experience "time". This exemplifies the opposite mistake. Consider, the oceans waves, sometimes SLOWLY rolling in, but DURING a turbulence RAPIDLY crashing to the shore. Thus it has always been. This difference does not depend upon humans. It's not as if we could take marijuana & slow down the waves or take meth & speed them up. As the poet said "Time & tide wait for no man."
