<< i do not believe we can assign any function whatsoever to time when we

 time-wise. still, the experimental research that has been done in the
 Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox seems to lead in that direction.

 it seems to me that if the Dynamic is unstable, then static quality
 represents stability. furthermore, time is part of that description of
 stability, while time has no representation in an unstable Dynamic way
 simply because we are not aware of it directly in any way.

It seems that everyone thinks that to be dynamic is the best thing in the
world. I disagree. This might confuse people but I think the most dynamic
thing to do sometimes it to be as static as possible.

Think about the insane, the only way for the insane to contribute back to
society is for them to become static, so they can communicate their dynamic
ideas to others. It might be moral for the individual to stay
dynamic(insane), but then the static pattern of society didn't have to create
a rule that society should care for its insane. Maybe they should have just
killed the abnormal, nonproductive members...

Remember, to be totally dynamic is to be categorically insane.
