Nobody above ground is done suffering.

Desperate to resolve the paradox, humanity has engaged in thousands of years of learning from the past and planning for the expected future seemingly hacking the system and controlling the ephemeral now.

Without time there would be no Newton 2nd law, nor the law of thermodynamics nor Bitcoin. The real choice is - would you rather suffer with Bitcoin or not exist at all 😉
I disagree. Speaking of tenses, the past is gone you can reflect upon it and repent if necessary. The future is known by God and what will happened is decreed. The present is precious, it can be all what you have. So you may do for your thereafter as if today is your last day and do for your future as if you will live forever, as Ali said (son-in-law and cousin of prophet Mohamed peace be upon him). Time is not easy to understand. God, Allah, defined himself as « Time ».
i think of time as a vertical spiral not a line. where vertically stacked points on that spiral are very similar if you live through them. but i also think only humans can experience time as a spiral. for an ape in the wild, time is just a circle that goes around and around as they don't have the ability to influence it and can't make it better (an upward spiral) or worse (a downward spiral). also for humans the spiral can take 100 years to clock back a full round, for other creatures, it spans few years at most. so in short. you can relive your past if you live long enough 😁 and that's why the idea of living forever is retarded.

Time is a perceptual notion. This is akin to saying heat doesn't exist or the color green doesn't exist. While they can be obscured through managed perception, they exists as perceptual notions.

As Buddha said: life is suffering. It implies inpermanence and the lack of permanent existents of phenomena. It is not dumpness.
Love is opening yourself up in spite of the inevitable suffering that will hit you as a consequence, so yes.

Hi, it's @jack mallers as you may know, I'm trying something new and reaching out to my fans directly, but my official account is managed by my team, so I had to create a private account to do that. I want to cut through the noise and connect with some real people, and you're the first.
Interesting. Simulation Theory has come to the same paradox. It’s a mathematically proven theory that space-time very likely doesn’t exist. So then what DOES fundamentally exist? Awareness. And the impressions we receive of space-time upon our awareness are therefore a mysterious “simulation” of space and time. So our existence is (and from first principles SEEMS) real, but the external & even internal impressions we perceive as our existence, do not in fact exist.

Some time ago I wrote a poem about nothingnessless. That was before ₿
This is something everyone eventually discovers on their own, but they assume they are somehow wrong because "physics" and "math". Time is the link between physics and math, and time does not exist the same way math never represents anything physical other than our perception of reality.

Why so pessimistic? Reach out to someone if you need help. Existence is a continuum, and time is the expression of the potential for change. No time? No hope No time? Nothing to look forward to No time? No freedom, as everything is predestined I hope you see life differently. At least your famous book transpires hope
Just today I read something interesting about our brains. we suppose to literally live in a hallucination. Our brains predict things as a defense mechanism. If sensors readings (senses) doesn't match those predictions the brain start to freak out. here is the article in czech:
