As I see it, the concept "time" only makes sense as a personal organizational parameter of our experiences. Please, persuade me that I am wrong.
I think a lot of people who think they think don't think at all.
Well, let me try Doc!, Well agreed for many perceptions, time can be personal, but definetly not for all.

What about the time, that enters the phrases like fast and slow. We often talk about speeds, and the time essential for certain processes, say a heartbeat, they are not personal perceptions; they are perceptions of a very large number of people. They are often part of the mass consiousness.

Personal time scales are O. K. for some experiences, definetly not all!!

Think about it!
