What's the term for the OPPOSITE of time control? Not
the foolish
clumsy spur of the moment term like "time ANTIcontrol"
but the cool
WORKING one that encapsulates all possible meanings
of the concept?
The one I can use to explain this sequence of non-events:
I decided
there were about three things I needed to do around
the house on a
regular basis so I made up and printed a calendar to
tape to my wall
for this month, and I have been going by this calendar
for a few days,
only today I find out that it ISN'T EVEN THIS MONTH
YET. According to
everyone else I still have a week of LAST MONTH to live.
Not only
that but something I was looking forward to doing which
I thought was
pretty definitely in the next few weeks JUST HAPPENED
YESTERDAY. Not
only was I supposed to attend, I was supposed to be
working on setup
and takedown of the thing. Setup last FRIDAY and takedown
YESTERDAY.
And I missed it entirely. So this is a case of living
in the past and
future simultaneously, while remaining in the present
and being pretty
much mistaken about all three. What's the term for
that.

Hey stupid - are you too dumb to know there are 4 different
simultaneous
24 hour days within a single rotation of Earth?

Chronological Gaposis. It's a common byproduct of Pinknocracy's
Misinformation
Overload. Like Planned Obsolescence, MO is the Con's
Brain Weapon, intended to
keep people looking the wrong way all the time. Confused?
You won't be after
the Real X-Day finally arrives - it's been 'delayed'
by Mass Chronological
Gaposis.

Sounds more like temporal transposition or temporal
transliteration. It's
actually a very unpink phenomenon; well-adjusted pinks
always know where
they are in time.

I haven't owned or worn a watch in years. If you must
know the time, it's
always somewhere.
Plus, its a great way to develop the internal clock-
which actually works. Even
in sleep. Actually it works better in sleep because
the grand pubah is in
control
(after you've told it what you want) instead of the
consciousness which
simultaneously suffers from attention deficit and stimuli
overload.
Ever notice: the more corporate a job, the less clocks
around; the more menial,
the more clocks.

Adulthood. Stang and old sci-fi time travel Moebius
loops came to
mind, but the stark truth is, its just adulthood. Or
more correctly,
something in the general vicinity of INTELLIGENT adulthood,
with a
side order of SubGenius "adulthood," defined
by the fact that most
people barely know where they are RIGHT NOW and fuck
any concept of a
timeline or actions/responsibilities/consequences thereon.
I, on the other hand, am fully cognizant of exactly
when I went
insane in the past; how futile yet amusing it is to
be typing it out
for strangers in near-real-time present; and pretty
much the kind of
babble I will emit in the future, where the retirement
home staff will
find me amusing, give me more pudding cups and will
enact preventative
bed sore practices more conscientously for my benefit.

Actually they only do this because bed sores are one
of the serious no-nos that
licensing keeps track of and comes down hard on nursing
homes for.
However, if you let them steal your money, you will also be their bud.

Old age or maybe even death. Check your pulse.
