tho technically outta time
let me take a moment to focus on some common delusions
about it

to begin with
time
like physical matter
only moreso
has no independent reality

the now keeps changing all right
but not the time

time actually stands still
if it exists at all
& has in reality no geographical subdivisions
nor any other subdivisions
nor any actual boundaries of any kind

not to even dream of multipoints of time
hahaha


yikes the subdivision of space is artificial & stupid enough

but the quantification & subdivision of time is far more artificial

artificial squared or cubed i would guess


what people think of as time is only the cosmos keeping
everything from happening all at once
just as space keeps it from happening all in one place


so to fully elaborate
time like space has
no existence independent of self
official or unofficial time zone maps to the contrary
notwithstanding

no reliable consistency
astronomical measurements & chronometers to the contrary
notwithstanding

& no quantifiable shape
indeed practically everything to the contrary notwithstanding


& the more one invests in such illusions
& the farther one leans out into them
the more one is distracted from the actual reality of self now

for it really boils down to nothing less than a quality of life issue


bounding & pointing in geopolitical reality is imponderable &
ridiculous enough
without introducing the further diffusions of all these supposed
temporalities

& this is so delusionary not just in the countryside generally
but particularly in the third world where such distinctions are
mostly unheard of & practically ignored anyway


at least in real try pointing you get to take your very now with you


so
to say that a time tripoint is apparently marked is perfectly correct
for it is indeed only apparently marked
nay
only apparently exists at all

in such a case what is actually marked
or more nearly actually marked
& more nearly real
is
a tricountry point

but even that is only relatively real
relative to self
the ultimate reality


also
a separate issue
what craig observed so acutely was the extreme official time
change not at a single geopolitical tripoint but along all of afcn
from tripoint to tripoint


also
i would love to get one of those wrong time tickets they
supposedly issue to offenders in alberta
hahahaha
what a prize that would be

great find by timothy
