read about the structuring of time/space/place/matter in an australian aboriginal "walkabout"...fascinating stuff...it is NOT a given that humans are cognitively programmed to think of time/space as discrete, dissectable units...however in the West we took this as a "given" and it is only NOW that Western scientists are starting to look at "reality", "the universe" whatever from another perspective. It does blow my mind that the Paradox is only just now informing mainstream science, but naturalized discourses are difficult to deconstruct when we've been conditioned to think of them as innate for so long....
