...as an addendum to this most-interesting exchange, (which clearly holds
a place in my realms of passionate fascinations, given my excess postings)
- but anyhoo,

as a furthering to my ideas of cultural-time (linearities) and the
simultaneity of existence without "time",
it is always there in memory,
an absence of "time" in that we cannot remember time as duration, we can
recall "past" experience,
but we cannot recall _anything_ in a time-sense. memories might seem to
last, as we indulge in the remembering, but in terms of cultural time, the
event of a memory lasts a millisecond.

there is no time in memory. which is not to say it doesn't take time to
remember...
