In my opinion, economists should exploit the problem of time to develop a quantum of scarcity. As far as known forms of life are concerned, it's the only absolute limitation, the only thing that could be thought of as wasted, the one thing that lacks in a universe that tends towards abundance.
We eat food, drink water, and breathe air in the hope that we can extend our time.
--------------
I imagine that OP's proposed view of time is the one that animals have and that as a whole humans used to have. I also think it's the perspective uneducated babies have and they can be as greedy and spiteful as they like with no notion of inhibition. Observing the limit of time has been pretty good for us imo.
That being said, I don't know for sure that animals don't know they're gonna die someday.

Could we bring back that childlike attitude in an adult, a realization of the futility of endlessly trying to gain power through knowledge?
I think we can assume that knowledge is a synonym for time

The problem I have - Is the stuff I'm working on….
Gives not a shit about time…
When you are curing resins - They will take as ever fucking long as they want…
and if it's humid - they will take even longer….
Then add complexity to the design….
now your waiting through multiple curing sessions….
I can't charge enough in the end…
to warrant the luxury required to make it.

You know a lapidary artists….a stone cutter
They have to look at the current market price of a specific raw gem material…finished
to decide if it's even worth their time to cut it or not.
Because it takes for freaking ever to cut and polish stones artfully…
- irregardless as to if the public perceives it as valuable.

That is true regard for time
If time is knowledge, it is also money. And we're trying to remove time. So resins are the same value in money, if its a week or a year to dry. i'll admit, that isnt viable, at all. Charge em... double, i guess

"They" say that in more "primitive" cultures,
cultures where you have less emphasis on time,
you get better, more interesting, and more skillfully made crafts/artwork….
specifically because - of the lack of pressure from time.
People approach making differently, when time is not of the essence….
I also read somewhere that they did an experiment with children…
Where they told one group to make drawings for a group show…
and the other group that the drawings were for a competition...
The artwork from the competition group was markedly less creative…
because they were trying to impress by appealing…
instead of just being creative within their own personal expressions.
"They" are my teachers from college by the way
- History of Jewelry Design & Form+Inspiration.
Middle class wealth also has an overwhelming effect on art forms.
both positive and negative.
homogenization & cheapening
while simultaneously driving innovation at the fringes…
with 2 mechanisms - economic stability and the desire to be trend setter
If you are worried about selling, you are not going to be fucking around with some weird shit.

yeah the biggest block to the whole thing is that survival is based on economics, which is unfortunately Time
are fruits borne entirely out of Time? or is it just the forbidden kind

I don't think anything is born of time…
Time is a measuring parameter that functions by setting limits…
Things happen in time - in the same way a person moves through a building…
But what happens at certain points in time are not connected to it beyond a mark.

Baudrillard has some good thinking relating to this if you want a read rec.
Like how the pocket watch freaked everyone out and lead to everybody getting calendars and more stress/pressure. Everything was put into schedule suddenly.
Stuff like public transportation, when to go to work etc.
btw
Churches ringing their big bloody bell balls in the late afternoon was not some church marketing awareness ting (like I thought) but actually the church being conscious and notifying farm workers and such of what time it was (time to stop working) and not letting the evil overlords take too much advange. As opposed to just using sun down.

so it is possible to live outside time
i look at the clock, it tells me it is time for the doctor's appointment... but it has nothing to do with what the doctor is going to say. so i shouldn't be so anxious about getting there on time
baudrillard's a good shout, been meaning to read

I have to believe that means it was, but I can't comprehend it.
I think you're still spot on in this thread. It's just the fact that it came about - bit, that is so weird.
It's not even second nature now but ahead of that

maybe the came about thing is happening because I'm looking at bringing back a childlike state. thats the wrong way to go about it, cos that is obviously memory, ie time
is it that we take time as a discovery, as opposed to an invention? when we see it as a discovery that initiated recording of it, then we can only say that it was possible to live outside time, before we began to measure it

I think we can assume that knowledge is a synonym for time
as in:
"It's knowledge you got out of bed and go get a job young man"?
doesn't quite work
altho I think I understand what you're saying...
that time, as a perceptual model of events being sequential,
tends to stultify our immediate experience of what's happening
by becoming a rigid filing system for acquired knowledge
is that right?
certainly my experience of life as a small child was less ordered
with some periods between waking and sleeping
feeling like eternal boredom
and pleasurable events like random illuminations
if I was to recapture anything from childhood
it would be that lack of a self-imposed schedule,
the freedom to examine whatever unfurled
without expectation of it coming nor going.
