1. time
1.1. temperature time
define it such as “the first moment when temperature goes below 15ºC”

1.3. Event time vs clock time
1.4. Tiempo macro y micro
Novedad vs rutina ⇒ Tiempo macro (lo que recuerdas después, lento vs rápido). Novedad es lento, rutina es rápido
Flow vs interrupciones ⇒ Tiempo micro (lo que sientes en el momento). Flow es rápido, interrupciones es lento
El objetivo es que todo sea novedoso en lo macro y fluya en lo micro. Así dura más tu tiempo lineal (Chronos)

Los movimientos rápidos delojo (sacádicos) son el tick del reloj, y cada vez se van haciendo más lentos
1.7. Time in Pomodoro (becoming vs events)
Time has two profoundly interrelated aspects that seem to coexist
- Becoming: An abstract, dimensional aspect of time. Duration and lateness (distance between two points in thr temporal axis)
- The succesion of events: A concrete aspect of temporal order: wake up, take a shower, have breakfast, study, have lunch, …
1.8. Henri Bergson and the Perception of Time | Issue 48 | Philosophy Now process
Bergson distinguished between time as we actually experience it, lived time – which he called ‘real duration’ (durée réelle) – and the mechanistic time of science. This, he argued, is based on a misperception: it consists of superimposing spatial concepts onto time, which then becomes a distorted version of the real thing. So time is perceived via a succession of separate, discrete, spatial constructs – just like seeing a film. We think we’re seeing a continuous flow of movement, but in reality what we’re seeing is a succession of fixed frames or stills. To claim that one can measure real duration by counting separate spatial constructs is an illusion: “We give a mechanical explanation of a fact and then substitute the explanation for the fact itself”, he wrote.

- Chronos
The creator god Chronos (χρόνος) emerged from the dark chaos to bring into life the silver world-egg. He symbolizes the passage of time and our lifetime (linear time)
Since ancient times Chronos is often equated with Kronos (Cronus, Cronos, or Kronos, from Greek κρόνος), the youngest son of Gaia (the earth) and Uranus (the sky) as an example of a folk etymology
In mythology, Kronos overcame his tyrannical father to become a cannibalistic tyrant himself. In order to avoid dethronement he ate his own children. The roman equivalent of Kronos is Saturn, the god of agriculture. - Kairos
Kairos (καιρός) is the capricious god of opportunity who is still with us when we try to “take time by the forelock”.
This young god is known for his enormous forelock, whereas the back of his head is bald. Today, this fast runner on winged feet reminds us to seize an opportunity when it arises. - Aion
The “time” which Aion represents is perpetual, unbounded, ritual, and cyclic
Aion (αἰών) stands for eternity. He is – at the same time – child and man. Aion is generous and happy because he lacks nothing. He inspires us to engage in activities that carry a deeper meaning within itself, strengthening our “sense of coherence”
Aion helps us to fulfill our vocation by meaningful actions in the here and now. Kairos helps us to open ourselves to the fleeting moments of serendipity. Teaming up with the two others, Chronos transforms into a benevolent god allowing us to keep pace for the sake of our productivity (in the ever-changing world of temptations).
1.10. time is a social construct - YouTube
the use of time as a measurement for success.
Those communities are unsurprisingly overrepresented by men,
A watch, as an example, is a men’s essential.
French businessman, Jacques Séguéla, declared in 2017 that if you don’t own a Rolex at age 50, that means you failed at life.
Wearing a watch reflects a men’s attitude towards time, which is one of the qualities for success.
The man has a watch, he cannot stay with her forever, he has obligations.
But she has obligations too, she’s a writer, a teacher, a mother.
The difference between the two is that the woman is more likely to give up time for love, whereas the man cannot let love disrupt his schedule
Time is understood as the currency: like money can be saved, wasted, invested.
Others also say that it’s the great equalizer: we all have the same 24 hours in the day.
we very easily forget that time is actually a social construct.
French sociologist, Pierre Bourdieu, who researched and wrote extensively on the Kabyle community in Algeria in the 1950s.
In his reports, he shows that the peasants have a very different approach of time.
They don’t want to master it, they don’t want to save it.
Haste is the proof of diabolical ambition. The clock is called a devil’s mill.
They don’t have any regular meal times. They don’t do set appointments but rather say “let’s just meet at the next market”.
That sounded absolutely radical to me. When you’re so used to something you even forget to question it.
Clocks, it is often forgotten, do not keep the time, but a time.
In his landmark book, Discipline and Punish, Michel Foucault examined how we have transferred from a society where power comes from the sovereign, the emperor, to a society where power is exerted through a form of internalized discipline.
So society that looks super liberal and free on paper but in which we check on each other, we discipline each other.
Time is an essential component of this new type of society.
Going to therapy (70% of it may be work-related stuff to cope with it, in your free time), healthy habits, productivity are good for you but also for your employer
I’m not saying that we need to stop going to therapy, working out or being productive,
You could say that I fail to see the bigger picture that providing value for a company also keeps the economy going so it benefits society as well.
But what is value to you? Is it just a bigger GDP? Economic growth? Then yes, we all benefit society and investors take the biggest share of it.
My vision of what value means is different though and our current economic system doesn’t allow it to flourish because profits and narcissistic interests always come first.
Can we abolish time? | The Outline
Hveding want to abolish not the movement of time, but the association of this movement with the clock.
Society has only been ruled by the clock for the past two centuries
Before that, you worked mostly as long as it was necessary, you ate food when you were hungry and you lay down when you were tired.
In modern society, everything we do is controlled by the pace of the clock from the moment we get up.
You can be a pragmatic and an idealist at the same time, this is called being progressive.
