Just a quick note - there are NOT 24 hours in a day. A 'day' is simply a word for how long it takes for the Earth to spin 360 degrees on its axis.
'Hours' and 'days' were concepts pasted relatively recently onto a very old mythology called 'time'. In the spirit of your writing, 'time' and the way in which it was parceled up into quantities such as 'hours' and 'days' deserves to be re-examined, as modern physics has called those ancient assumptions into doubt.
Although I am a much older person than you seem to be, I think you are onto something very important and valuable. If I can be of assistance, I am happy to help - although financial assistance is perhaps less important to you than to so many others.
But what seems to be missing from your writings so far (having read only portions of your voluminous writing, I may not yet have come upon these ideas) is a serious effort to place our species' current struggles into the larger picture of evolution on the scale of geologic time. Although I take your concerns about the loss of meaning in the face of AI and hyper-technology very seriously, I wonder if you might not find some strategies from our species' deeper past to be valuable.
For example, how exactly is it that science in the Renaissance managed to avoid being completely extirpated by the Church?
How did the large Asian cultures manage to survive and (at least in part) overcome the rigidity of excessive obedience to their god-emperors?
And how is it that neolithic human cultures in the northern hemisphere not only survived the Ice Ages and extreme population bottlenecks, but have become the most powerful cultures our species has ever known?
I don't have answers to these questions, and I don't believe academically approved answers are even very valuable. But the questions themselves may be sufficient to illuminate, however slightly, the path ahead...
Bookmarking for a rainy day read through. I’m thankful to have recently discovered your writing. Some days it gives hope, and other days a pause for reflection. A good stretching of the mind is useful exercise. I appreciate the opportunity to find something in your daily posts to keep hopeful, or sometimes just confirm I’m not crazy.
