arbitrary pull from the ether

seemingly random effects coalesce within the dynamic of one or the group. 

time seems irrelevant, but at the same time necessary.  is it programming? conditioning?  cultural and peer associations are strong because we are so soaked with them through our years of initial growth and sponge.  formulating while trying to comprehend - a reconciliation demanded of us whether we are able to wield or defend ourselves.  we must know what to do before we know what to do.  there is no relative "try before you buy" for human-cultured life.

i challenge time though.  i've slowly started taking in observations on the perception and usage of time; it's development and usage over known accounts throughout human history.  and by "human" i mean our line of evolution.  time makes sense because we make it make sense.  it is a mortar that seems fit to fit everything together. does the idea of time blind our awares?

time binds reality?  reality is an agreed upon consistency of observation; agreed upon within ourselves- with others, directly or indirectly.
things that seem absolute are still only relatively absolute.  not permanent, not static.  eventually our proud human constructs fall to new discovery, new reveals of our insignificant stuffings.
mathematics, science, medicine, these cultures are infant.  they are arrogant.  but they are what we have built upon.  the evolution model at work.  and it is these cultures that progress us.  our biology is relatively slow to evolve, our brains are relatively unchanged, our bodies - likewise.  but our culture, our learnings, "knowledge," that evolves and grows us futures faster than perhaps we are able to wield well.

our tumble with our knowings may be looked back on someday, to see the relative benefits and detriments that came to pass; but in our current we cannot know, nor do most of us care or realize it is something to be interested about.

i've talked to some in my surround, those rhymed enough to bring out the talk in me - not by my choice but by the flow of the music created by our gathered presence.  i talk them the idea of my "jupiter time."  a kind of twisted dimension of time where we live an earth life, but where seeming-"bubbles" of time allow for expanded days, elongated weeks.  when it's thursday i feel it should be monday evening - - "jupiter time!"
days of the "week" should be 5 to 7 times long (guessing) or that the things that we can do in the same time should be 5 to 7 times (or more) greater.  it would still feel and exist like normal earth time, but we'd be able to experience, do, have that 5 to 7 jupiter times.  it's kind of nonsensical, but it probably makes sense to each of us in that we want more time to do things.

the work week is 5 days with 2 days off - 7 up together.  but why?  there have been many other "week" durations throughout the world.  religion may drive much however.  it does drive much.  religion is unifying and relatively consistent enough to provide the comforts our instinct seeks out.  survival, and thus, thrival.  we thrive, and we may be comforted and happy.

a system that works, or seems to work, or by association is said or thought to work is difficult to change.  the consistency is not easily broken.  it is one of the strengths of our species.  we are resilient and adaptable a beast, but we have that kind of osseous construct that keeps us from breaking apart so easily.  that kind of consistent integrity while having that light-on-our-feet resilient mobility keeps us in existence.
how long we will persist to exist is uncertain, what we do cannot ultimately be determined to be detriment or benefit.  only in retrospect.  how about 50 thousand years from now we take a look back to see what was whot and what was whotnot.

perhaps the week could be changed someday.  something more effective maybe.  just because it's worked so far, or for so long, doesn't mean it is balanced; doesn't mean it's the best or the worst.  i'm not saying to change something just to do it, but if you feel the ether about you telling you something, if your balance is off, then you adjust, you adapt, the resilient beast seeks survival.
