We track it\, save it\, waste it\, kill it\, and never seem to h ave enough of it. We measure our lives in deadlines\, calendars\, and the anxious ticking of clocks. But what actually is time? And why does our mod ern relationship with it feel so… exhausting? Here's the uncomfortable t ruth: the way we experience time isn't natural—it's constructed. Differe nt civilizations have had radically different relationships with time\, an d the linear\, productivity-obsessed version we live under is a relatively recent invention. One that's making us anxious\, disconnected from the pr esent\, and perpetually running toward a future that never arrives. This t alk is about stepping out of that loop. What we'll cover Together\, we'll explore:How ancient civilizations understood time—and what we've lost in the shift to modern clock-time.Why "objective time" is a useful illusion —and how it quietly alienates us from our own experience.How modernity t urned time into a scarce resource to be exploited\, optimized\, and manage d—and why that framing is making us miserable.The existential roots of t ime anxiety—and what our fear of impermanence reveals about how we confr ont (or avoid) mortality.Insights from Eastern philosophy on the "Eternal Now"—and how deconstructing past and future can reconnect us to the only moment we actually have. Speaker Miguel Estéfano Mora Vera Philosopher M iguel Estéfano Mora Vera is a philosopher who earned his Ph.D. from the U niversity of Freiburg\, specializing in the existential legacies of Kierke gaard\, Nietzsche\, and Heidegger.
