Docta Ignorantia XX Time Is linear time a meaningful concept separated out from kairotic time? Linear time being how scientists take time and kairotic time being how, for example, Bible takes time: In the fullness of time, .... -- meaning, there is the phenomenon of polytime with its polyphonic strands coming around at this point in time to some 'right time' for this or that thing. The language of kairotic time, indicated by the phrases in quotes, is in the common language, interestingly. Apparently, kairotic time is deeply enough felt to have its concepts in the vernacular. Maybe even more so than linear time, which would be interesting. I wonder if anybody really even feels linear time, at least in any systemic way. Sub-sub-sub-systemically it can be felt, perhaps, but systemically? I doubt. Anyhow, is linear time even a useful concept?
