The worst thing about the present is that it doesn't feel good the way you wish it did. Imagining some other time/place that does feel good can feel like a life line. "Surely there's something better than _this_ terrible awful place".
-
And there is, it's _this_ beautiful place. Takes practice to see it though. I'm lousy at it too, but I'm working on it.

I think a feeling of "being stuck in" the present is different than "being in" the present. The former implies higher level time-dependent constructs like boredom (see: Heidegger) while the latter implies focus on direct sensory experience.

There lies a difference between discarding one's vision of a future self and discarding one's notions of time entirely.

holy fuck i get why time is fake now.

Time is a rude-ass technology we invented to quantize our labor and I hate it.
-
it makes me wonder whether improved book/time-keeping technology will remove the need to quantize our labour, or enable us to quantize it into smaller and smaller pieces. perhaps one day it'll be so granular as to feel smooth again
-
Freely accessible timekeeping wont feel smooth, it'll feel omnipresent. And we're already there. Spend a day without your cellphone/watch and you'll become enlightened.
