Dupes of Non-Physical

Bob - you keep insisting "time" was created with the printing press. The article cited below on "indulgences" show explicitly that time was quite well established for the manuscript culture. Time simply became standardized like the paper "dollar" in the printing press (error) era. Also don't we get visual perspective in this timing.

But you know this better than I.

Indulgences -

"Sins that have not been properly expiated with temporal punishment land the sinner in purgatory. In fact, the entire concept of purgatory, which is invented in the late twelfth century, is that it is a place of temporal punishment. At the conclusion of this punishment, the individual soul passes into heaven."

BOB: McLuhan emphasized that the medieval culture had a healthy "balance of eye and ear" (McLuhan). iON agrees with this.

iON has said that the printing press tipped the balance into the eye's favour thus creating the "dark ages from c.1600-c.1900 AD" (iON) with (the concept of) "TIME" being a major disservice effect.

Praise electricity for toppling the eye's temporary ascendance and re-establishing the tactile sensibility (neither eye nor ear but "ESP") that iON prefers.

Bob - thanks for the vindication. I thought iON was going to scold me for dabbling with "Bob Knowledge" Glad to hear he is falling in line.
