Jeff & Darron ponder the intersection of reality, consciousness, and culture. These conversations comprise an ongoing attempt to construct meaning by exploring art and science, developing understanding of the context underpinning our current moment in time, and imagining possible futures for human civilization. No expertise here, just two guys who enjoy learning, thinking, and talking about big ideas, deep questions, and the “beautiful illusion” that is the subjective human experience. *New episodes released every one to two months on Sunday mornings*

Darron and Jeff have a sensemaking conversation around the concept of time - what it is and how we perceive it. We talk about Jeff’s experience with time in relation to his reading about Emerson, the relationship between time and change, how experience influences how we decide to spend our time, the many different ways we mark time and are reminded of its passing, how we sometimes wish for time to pass and a thought experiment imagining the ability to fast-forward time, the social nature of how we experience time, and they end with some thoughts from a biological perspective about the sheer awesomeness of a single moment of existence. It’s a loose and fun conversation about a topic that they are sure to be revisiting soon.
