I agree with you, time does make us small. But I like to play around with thought like you do here and I have had some experiences that one may think of being just fantasies, but maybe not. I also recognize what you say, this our practical brain denying it all like dismissing our emotions. But sometimes I think it’s our reality that doesn’t add up or make any sense and I think that our emotional side, that we know so little about, sometimes can make time vanish. Like our dog is dead since four years ago, but emotionally she’s not. She’s actually very present to me still; she’s like living trough me by the emotions we share. I wonder if you actually touched and met someone by that Mousterian point you found? Like emotions have no time dimension, like everything is present time even if that first touch happened thousands of years ago. When it comes to emotions I don’t think we, humans and animals, change very much and I think we are very alike regardless of body appearance and emotionally my dog and I were very alike. I wonder if that Neandertal person brought you something?
