I am an old man too. And there does appear to be an encroaching limit to the things I can experience, but I don’t call that a limit on time. Nor do I understand it as a limit on change that may or may not continue thereafter. But I am sure there is a limit to my understanding.
Im not saying there’s a limit on time.
I’m saying there’s a limit on MY time.
Those are two very different things.
The first is theoretical and generally not useful.
The second is something useful and extremely consequential.
That’s the idea 💡
The finite and the limitations are the key to a life lived conservatively (referencing the law of conservation of energy).
This applies to both that which can be observed and that which cannot be observed.
“The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance.”
