Absolute time resonance is cyclical, adaptive, and harmonic. In contrast, the modern economic system is linear, explosive, and degenerative.
2. The Climate Crisis as an Expression of Temporal Dissonance
Climate change is a macro symptom of the fragmentation of resonance between humans and nature. Nature is subject to absolute time --- seasons, carbon cycles, photosynthesis, and regeneration --- but human systems have broken those cycles through industrialization, extraction, and pollution. The climate crisis is nature's response to time dissonance.
Empirical example:
Accelerated melting of polar ice temporal imbalance between earth's natural time and economic time.
Ecological disaster asynchrony between the time scale of human development and the time scale of earth's recovery.
3. Human Burnout: Microscopic Symptoms of a Time Out of Resonance
Burnout is a form of existential exhaustion when human consciousness no longer has a meaningful reference point in time. The speed of information systems, performance pressures, and the algorithmization of life create a disconnect between psychological time and biological time. The human brain --- which evolved to align itself with natural time --- is now forced to adjust to artificial and unforgiving digital time.
Absolute time contains space for contemplation and recovery. Economic time rejects pause.
4. Roots of the Crisis: Reducing Time to an Instrument
In the history of civilization, time has changed from a sacred experience to an instrument of control. Today's global crisis is not merely an economic or ecological crisis, butcrisis of temporality--- time that loses substance, and humans that lose the ability to feel time as existence, not just duration.
