I call the transcendental object at the end of time
What I mean really is that novelty increases as we approach the present moment
The universe you and I are living in is a far more novel and complicated place
Than the early universe was
Time is only experienced by the events
Which occur within it
And I maintain that the early universe
Had very little going on
And consequently time moved very very slowly
So time is speeding up
Human beings are part of that process
And that the culmination of that process is now within the van of historical time
We are all gathered here at the end game of developmental processes on this planet
We are about to become unrecognizable to ourselves as a species
Our technologies our religions our science
Has pushed us toward this for thousands of years
Now we stand close enough to it that I think all but the most lumpen among us
Must feel the tug of the transcendental and the transformative
