If time is an illusion....

If time is an illusion, why am I spending all this money on ways to keep track of it.


Thankfully Rolex is is making it harder for people to do that....

Thank you Rolex.

I think people are starting to realize the monetary value of currency is also an illusion

there is no such thing as time. there is only space time from what we know.

that said a clock doesnt track space time. it tracks rotational time of the earth which really is a subset of the time but means nothing to anyone who is not from our planet.

one does not know if time is actually continuous or if each microcosm is a still point that meshes together based on our perception.

tldr we wear a watch because we like watches.
