Irrelevant. It takes only ONE valid example to the contrary to refute the assertion that time is a human invention. > You've presented no example of the opposite. Hmmm. I've presented several examples that refute Wozniak's bizarre assertion. Either he is lying or his memory is in terrible shape, possibly due to addiction. To jog what's left of his memory, here's one: --------------------------------------------------------- Words often have more than one definition and this is true of the word "time." The dictionary presents several: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/time Our attempts to measure time (clocks) are what Wozniak is talking about: "a: the measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues" But the very fact that trying to measure time with human inventions is evidence that what we are trying to measure is something else, which is also referred to as time. Clocks are analogous to maps, and as maps are not the territory, clocks are not this: "b: a nonspatial continuum that is measured in terms of events which succeed one another from past through present to future" which is not a human invention, as evidenced by our not being able to fully understand it. ---------------------------------------------------------- > > > > But Wozniak is the one that brought up pink and purple > > > > elephants. > > > > > > But Harnagel is the one that brought my alleged booze. > > > > BECAUSE Wozniak irrationally brought up pink and purple > > Oh, a cornered idiot will go for slanders; > even Socrates 2500 years ago has already > known that. :-) Wozniak still misunderstands the definition of "slander" even after having it explained to him. This does indeed imply that he may be guilty of substance abuse.
