When do you think time starts to fly by in life?

[DeuceWallaces]

I've read scientific explanations of this phenomenon. Essential it's your young, developing brain just taking in everything and learning so much until you're 20 or so that it feels as though time is longer because every moment is much more apt to be taken up by a new sensory experience.

macho and DW contradictin each other who gonna win out

[~primetime~]

You know what he meant

Typical city lifestyle is busier and more hectic and more fun than typical buttfvk nowhere lifestyle

Take a typical person put them in nyc for a week and then put them in some small town in the Midwest for a week. The ny week will go by much faster

right, which is the same thing as his FIRST point...it's about being "busy", not the actual location.

The location just dictates the likelihood of being "busy"...it's not like you can't be bored off your ass in NYC...there are coach potatoes in every US setting

[~primetime~]

So you agree location matters

it 'CAN' matter...or might not matter at all...depends on the person

"busyness" matters regardless of location...

Just won an argument with tiddy

First time in ish history

God damn I'm great

that wasn't an argument that we just had...and we can argue about that if you want

[~primetime~]

What are the parameters of an argument

I was never disputing your point...

right, which is the same thing as his FIRST point...

[~primetime~]

That's not what I asked!

parameters include two people disagreeing on something


sooo....pretty sure I won this "thing" we are having

[~primetime~]

Are all disagreements arguments? What if the disagreement is in nyc? What if it's in Wyoming?

we are more likely to disagree in NYC than Wyoming...but it doesn't mean being there is the reason for our disagreement...agree?

[Done_And_Done]

Are all disagreements arguments? What if the disagreement is in nyc? What if it's in Wyoming?

lololol

You dudes kill me

I once skimmed over a book called "Moonwalking with Einstein" which talked about how people can expand their memories by using certain techniques.

One portion talked about how a chronologist, Michel Siffre, and how he conducted experiments involving trapping himself in a cave or a dark place with no way to count the days. When he was let out of the cave, he thought less time had passed than he realized.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michel_Siffre

This is one school of thought. Basically if you're memories of a certain time period is mundane, then that time period will pass by very quickly. Working a frequent 9-5 where nothing is new means you won't be acquiring a lot of long-term emotionally charged memories, which in essence means time flies by WHILE LOOKING BACK.

However, if you're sitting in class at present moment and you're bored as all hell, time will most likely be slowed down.

This explains why people feel time lasts longer as a child, since every memory was of a new experience. It also explains why people are willing to pay so much to take exotic vacations as adults, since it would load up on life memories and prevent time from flying by.

Can't believe it's been almost 8 years since I joined ISH. Man... my time posting on here has sure flown by.

[InfiniteBaskets]

Reflecting on my post, looking back my memories on ISH are pretty much the following:

Join ISH
Get in on all Heat game threads
Bounced in first round by bulls, Shaq traded
Still in heat game threads, scrubs like Yakuebe Diawara starting at SF
Greatest Moments in MS Paint
2010 ESPN free agency rumors and GOAT ISH thread
LBJ joins Miami, all of ISH in arms
Matt Geiger's Son
playoff game threads over past 4 seasons

the thing that makes us feel like time is going by so fast as we get older is that there are less highlights, exciting parts of our days. When you are young, you are excited to wake up, eat breakfast, watch cartoons, go play with your friends, eat dinner, go play with your friends, play on the computer, you remember all of that and it feels like you got alot done in one day, each day was exciting and fun. As we get older, our daily routine is basically going through the motions, and each day gets less and less significant because of repetition and things we have already experienced. Thats why we feel time is moving fast, because we measure how much we lived in a certain time, and by "live" meaning how many exciting things and experiences have we've had, and for most adults, it would be 0 in a weeks time, where as a kid, would be 20 things in a weeks time.

Once I finished university, and then again when I had a baby. Now there's not enough time in a day

I'd say around 22, after you get out of college.

I'm 24 years old, born in 1991. 24 years before then was 1967, arguably the GOATS best year. Idk about you guys, but when I put it in that perspective I got the chills
