Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.

It makes perfect sense since early devices to measure time were sundials...once we created machinery that could automate something ticking along, we just overrode the need for a sun to cast a shadow and replaced it with an automated dial...

Why the hell not? Time is an invention of perception. There is no uniform time. It is never 4 o'clock. To me it might be 4. To you it might 3:58.

It's like language - a happy medium so we can all co-exist along the same spine of life. English does not exist as an entity. We each have our own version of English in our heads.
