		<description>Sort of like: 1/1/2001AT=?/??/12001 I, too, have the idea of &quot;starting time&quot; 10,000 years ago, but I have time problems, due to the fact that I&#039;m mostly blind, and don&#039;t have a graphical reference inside my head.  Do you maybe have a &quot;print&quot; calendar available?  Or, maybe, a comparison between AT calendar &amp; a decimal one? You can actually write to my email address if you wan to.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m flattered, but I should tell you that I&#039;ve abandoned decimal time myself: http://gorm.wordpress.com/2009/08/16/making-time-intelligible/

I&#039;ll help if I can, but what you you mean by synchronizing?</description>

		<description>My micronation would like to adopt Esperanto as a national language, and metric time as &quot;normal time.&quot;  I&#039;ve tried Lyle&#039;s system, but have no clue as to when to &quot;start things.&quot;  I very much like yours, can you try helping me synchronize things? Thanks. &quot;KC&quot; Skyhunter</description>

		<description>The management method called &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Getting_Things_Done&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Getting Things Done&lt;/a&gt; (GTD) is exemplifies promotion of some kind of &quot;frontier consciousness&quot;, in that it suggests externalizing memory to reliable computer systems. The brain is thus freed up to do more interesting things. Mathematical calculation is another thing that we to some degree can throw out of our mental workspace thanks to technology.

Okay, this is too tiny a development to be indicative of anything relevant to our time discussion, but still. It&#039;s interesting. I can at least imagine that we will, in the extension of said development, see the phenomenon of frontier consciousness with greater clarity.</description>

		<description>At the highest level, all topics are interconnected. Exponential history seems to be connected to memetics (at least Susan Blackmore&#039;s account), and memetics with epistemology, which is the subject I&#039;m most interested in.

Have you seen &lt;a&gt;Blackmore&#039;s TED video&lt;/a&gt;? I think you&#039;ll like it very much. (I&#039;d very much like your comments on it.)

Your frequency theory doesn&#039;t make intuitive sense to me, but I&#039;m not one to let my common sense have the last word! I&#039;ll suspend judgement until I&#039;ve inquired deeper into the subject.

One thing it made me think about though: Do you think it&#039;s possible to view the development of time from the perspective of the &lt;em&gt;frontier frequency&lt;/em&gt;? To explain by illustration: From the point of view of nature (which, I guess, is confined to the first couple of time frequencies), history accelerates, while from the point of view of consciousness (which, perhaps, is about the highest frequencies, the frontier frequency), time seems to &lt;em&gt;de&lt;/em&gt;celerate? In other words, do you think it is possible that the singularity will be experienced in such a way that cosmic time seems to slow down, almost to a halt? Like it&#039;s a &quot;point of eternity&quot;...</description>

		<description>Hi Gorm.

I completely understand your sceptisism towards fatalism. That was my first negative reaction also when when I first came over these time-scemes last summer. I also had a problem with the concept of singularity. What drew me to investigate this information further however, was that having studied evolution, I quickly recognized that the calendrical phases and underworlds were in accordance with modern science&#039;s datings for evolutionary periods. I then checked up the more resent underworlds against world history, and the correlations were obvious. How could this be? I was totally overwhelmed.

When I tried telling people this, I took myself in sounding like a dooms-day prophet, which is the last thing I want to be. However, a part of me knew that this was a distortion, but my intellect could not grasp it in any other way. As winter came I went on to other topics, but still very much kept an eye on the calendar.

The reason I&#039;m telling you this is that I had a major eureka-experience a couple of days ago. All the knots are comming loose, as if my subconscious has been working on the problem since I left it. To put it simply, my realization is this: The nine underworlds are bands of frequency! They are not really past and future, all of them exists right now, but from the viewpoint of one particular band, or dimension of time-space, all the lower frequencies appear as &quot;past&quot; and the higher ones as &quot;future&quot;. Neither is any dimension actually &quot;slow&quot; or &quot;fast&quot;, but from the viewpoint of one frenquentioal present, the future seems fast, and the past slow. Now, the reason for the notion of accelleration is because we are currently moving from one band to the next. Another thing I realized was that we are not actually totally moving into the 8th band in only thirteen years and then the 9th in only 260 days. These are simply just the &quot;turnover periods&quot; of these frequencies. However, we are moving into the 8th band, but this will take as long as it takes, untill we get tired of exploring it, maybe thousands of years, and then we&#039;ll move into the 9th, which is the border of our entire system. At that point I think we&#039;ll be a unified star-mind on the very edge of physicality, and thus time itself, but that&#039;s just speculation.

When that is said, I just wan&#039;t to add that I have just moved, and since i don&#039;t have internet at my new place yet, i won&#039;t be able to comment so often. I also want to say that I know that this is a demanding topic, and if you are deep into your own projects, you don&#039;t need to comment. I need another year to understand this properly anyway :)</description>

		<description>So the &lt;em&gt;when&lt;/em&gt; is fixed, but not the &lt;em&gt;what&lt;/em&gt;? In other words, what novelty consists of, specifically, is a free choice, but not the &lt;em&gt;rhytm&lt;/em&gt; of novelty?

If I got that right, I have a problem for you: Some kinds of novelty, like computer technology, is like fertile soil of entirely new realms of novelty. If we instead of computer tech had chosen some other, less fertile kind of novelty, we would sure be hard pressed to up the tempo of novelty like we have, in accordance with novelty theory!

The only solution I can think of to resolve this, is that not only the &lt;em&gt;quota&lt;/em&gt; of novelty is fixed by novelty theory, but also the &lt;em&gt;fertility&lt;/em&gt; of novelty. Now, this seems to approach fatalism to some small degree, in my view. What do you think?</description>
