I’m increasingly convinced the ancients did not think of, or experience, time the way we do, as a kind of one-way street spatial dimension. It was a flux with a material quality. Like a river flowing through you. Or like weather.
There’s also the idea of Brouwer’s intuitionistic continuum, which is probably the weirdest idea in mathematics https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/intuitionism/ …

I tried to understand this. Lost me entirely. Any tl;dr?

Basically math gets really weird if you make reductio ad absurdum/law of excluded middle illegal. It's a much more conservative but serious mathematics. It's a retirement project for me to understand intuitionistic math (despite name, it's *more* rigorous than regular, not less)
