Ticking Obsession

by Thomas Marsh-Connors | Angry British Conservative Blog

Let me tell you something about myself that’s perhaps not immediately obvious I have a deeply unhealthy obsession with time. Not in the generic "I hate being late" way. No, my fixation goes far beyond punctuality or calendar apps. Though that is true too. This is something that took root in my mind back in 2006 and has since woven itself into my thoughts, habits, even how I see the world.

It all started with a BBC documentary. Not just any documentary, mind you this was the Time series hosted by none other than Dr. Michio Kaku. If you’ve never seen it, do yourself a favour and hunt it down. It’s a beautiful, mind-bending series in which Kaku an American physicist and master science communicator goes on a global journey to try and define, understand, and chase after that elusive thing we call time.

I was only a teenager at the time, but something about that series rewired my brain. Maybe it was the haunting realisation that time is both constant and completely out of our grasp. Maybe it was Kaku’s hypnotic, calm delivery a man who speaks of quantum mechanics like it’s poetry. Either way, from that day forward, time wasn’t just a part of my life. It became the part.

Naturally, I devoured everything Kaku ever wrote. Here’s a list of his books I’ve read and if you’ve got even a faint interest in science, technology, or the future of humanity, I strongly recommend you dive into them too:

Visions: How Science Will Revolutionize the 21st Century (1997)

Parallel Worlds: A Journey Through Creation, Higher Dimensions, and the Future of the Cosmos (2004)

Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration into the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel (2008)

Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100 (2011)

The Future of the Mind: The Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance, and Empower the Mind (2014)

The Future of Humanity: Terraforming Mars, Interstellar Travel, Immortality, and Our Destiny Beyond Earth (2018)

The God Equation: The Quest for a Theory of Everything (2021)

Quantum Supremacy: How the Quantum Computer Revolution Will Change Everything (2024)

Each book is a small detonation in the brain. Kaku has this rare gift: he makes impossibly complex theories about the multiverse, wormholes, and AI feel like gripping thrillers. But at the core of it all whether he’s talking about bending space-time, merging consciousness with machines, or building Type I civilisations time is always present.

And that’s the paradox, isn’t it? Time is everywhere and nowhere. We live inside of it, but we can’t see it. It drives every second of our lives, yet we barely understand it. It’s ticking constantly whether we choose to notice or not.

Since that first encounter in 2007, I’ve noticed time shaping the very architecture of my thought. I overthink minutes, waste hours worrying about the past, and have endless philosophical arguments in my head about the future. I obsess over history, write about nostalgia, and collect clocks yes, literal clocks. I time my coffee breaks. I remember whole days in terms of the exact hour something happened. It’s borderline manic, I know. But at the same time, I wouldn’t trade this obsession for anything. It keeps me grounded, aware, awake.

We live in a culture that is increasingly casual about time wasting it on meaningless distractions, pretending we have infinite tomorrows. But time is the one currency we can’t counterfeit. And once you become aware of that really aware you start living with urgency. Purpose. Gratitude.

So, if you're like me slightly mad and deeply curious give Dr Michio Kaku’s works a read. Rewatch that 2007 BBC series if you can. And maybe, just maybe, you’ll understand why I’ve never been able to escape the ticking echo of that first documentary.

Time isn’t just a dimension. For some of us, it’s a religion.

From a new science of consciousness to simulation metaphysics, from evolutionary cybernetics to computational physics, from physics of time and information to quantum cosmology, this novel explanatory theory for a deeper understanding of reality is combined into one elegant theory of everything (ToE). Material worlds come and go, but fundamental consciousness is ever-present, as the multiverse ontology is shown to be testable. Phenomenal "local" mind is "cybernetically" emergent from the underlying functional organization, whereas holistic "non-local" consciousness is transcendentally imminent. https://www.alexvikoulov.com/2022/04/cybernetic-theory-interpretive-model-of-everything.html #CyberneticTheory #EvolutionaryCybernetics #PhilosophyofMind #QuantumTheory #PhysicsofTime #Futurism #Transhumanism #Posthumanism #Theosophy #SimulationMetaphysics #Phenomenology #QuantumCosmology #ComputationalPhysics #ScienceofConsciousness #TheoryofEverything #SyntellectHypothesis https://www.instagram.com/p/Ccs2R9iLizg/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Now that the final book in The Cybernetic Theory of Mind series is released, the entire eBook series is available on Amazon all in one place! The Cybernetic Theory of Mind series is a collection of books by futurist, evolutionary cyberneticist and philosopher Alex M. Vikoulov on the ultimate nature of reality, consciousness, the physics of time, computational physics, philosophy of mind, foundations of quantum physics, the technological singularity, transhumanism, the impending phase transition of humanity, the simulation hypothesis, economic theory, the extended Gaia theory, transcendental metaphysics and God, all of which is combined into one elegant Theory of Everything. If you're eager to familiarize with probably the most advanced ontological framework to date or if you're already familiar with the Syntellect Hypothesis which, with this series, is now presented to you as the full-fledged Cybernetic Theory of Mind, then this series will surely present to you some newly-introduced and updated material if compared with the originally published version and can be read as a stand-alone work just like any book of the series: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08R2K7ZK2 *Watch the Playlist of Trailers for all five eBooks: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBh8LYfDZBTvd_rr8D3WlSZdwRRqQSYVX **At the same time, it is highly recommended to obtain The Syntellect Hypothesis (Kindle eBook, paperback, hardcover, Audible audiobook) as the original coherent version of the same theoretical framework in case you don't need extra detailing: https://www.amazon.com/Syntellect-Hypothesis-Paradigms-Minds-Evolution/dp/1733426140 ***Author Page on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/author/AlexVikoulov #CyberneticTheoryofMind #EvolutionaryCybernetics #PhilosophyofMind #QuantumTheory #PhysicsofTime #Futurism #Transhumanism #Posthumanism #Theosophy #SimulationMetaphysics #Phenomenology #QuantumCosmology #ComputationalPhysics #ScienceofConsciousness #Ontology #Eschatology #SyntellectHypothesis #AlexVikoulov https://www.instagram.com/p/CaALrFfpPlU/?utm_medium=tumblr

"By contemplating the full spectrum of scenarios of the coming technological singularities, many can place their bets in favor of the Cybernetic Singularity which is the surest path to cybernetic immortality and engineered godhood as opposed to the AI Singularity when Homo sapiens is hastily retired as a senescent parent. This meta-system transition from the networked Global Brain to the Gaian Mind is all about evolution of our own individual minds; it’s all about our own Self-Transcendence." -Alex M.

In our day and age when the science and philosophy of information eclipse traditional disciplines on all fronts, the importance of asking the right kinds of questions in light of a new rhetoric cannot be overestimated. Here you can find three videos with their transcripts of a video mini-series related to D-Theory of Time, or Digital Presentism, that I cover extensively in my new book The Syntellect Hypothesis: Five Paradigms of the Mind's Evolution, as well as in my just-released ebook The Physics of Time: D-Theory of Time & Temporal Mechanics. https://www.ecstadelic.net/top-stories/how-can-the-science-and-philosophy-of-information-solve-the-problem-of-time #PhysicsofTime #DTheoryofTime #TemporalMechanics #TemporalPhysics #TemporalOntology #TemporalPhilosophy #ExperientialReality #HumanDimensionality #TimeTravel #TimeMachine #ProblemOfTime #SyntellectHypothesis #DigitalPhysics #DigitalPhilosophy https://www.instagram.com/p/ByHBPOdADfY/?igshid=1nquxem732y9s

The Physics of Time: What Is Time? "As quantum mechanics implies, the present moment you're experiencing now is best thought of as funneled from all your possible pasts as well as funneled from all you probable futures. Since time can't be absolute but is always subjective, D-Theory of Time, or Digital Presentism, revolves around observer-centric temporality. All realities are 'observer-centric virtualities' where an entire Observer-Universe system remains in the state of quantum coherence until experienced as a Conscious Instant, or the Temporal Singularity in the framework of D-theory of Time. A series of such conscious instants constitutes a data stream of consciousness. In a real sense, your consciousness is, in actuality, mind-based computing of your experiential branch in the Quantum Multiverse... Your sense of time flow is a sequential change between static perceptual frames, it's an emergent phenomenon, 'a moving image of eternity' as Plato famously said more than 2 millennia ago."  -Excerpt from The Physics of Time: D-Theory of Time & Temporal Mechanics available now as eBook on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S3QZPQT #PhysicsOfTime #DTheoryOfTime #TemporalMechanics #DigitalPresentism #TemporalPhysics #PhilosophyOfTime #TemporalPhilosophy #Fracta https://www.instagram.com/p/ByDxaeGg4D6/?igshid=1u2ey3mzcbigs

TIME, the reef upon which all our frail mystic ships are wrecked, has remained an elusive notion over the ages. Sages, philosophers and scientists have ventured a countless number of times into the dark arena of the hourglass in an attempt to tame the indomitable vortex of this indefinite stream. What is time? Does anyone really know? Is it a physical dimension? Is it merely a measure of recurrence? Is it a mental mechanism to be able to make sense out of everything happening simultaneously? Is it an artefact or collateral damage of consciousness trying to observe its inner workings? https://www.ecstadelic.net/top-stories/the-physics-of-time-how-intelligible-is-time #PhysicsofTime #DTheoryofTime #TemporalMechanics https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx5KKRhgnMp/?igshid=1k3xxw008ntiq
