Time is the determination of the internal sense, of the self relating to the physical world. If time exists outside the mind, then it stands in need of discovery. This would mean that the self does not relate to the physical world until it discovers the mechanism by which it relates to the physical world, in the physical world. But if it cannot relate to this world, it cannot derive knowledge from this world, and therefore cannot discover time. Therefore time not only exists in the mind, but also has necessary reference to the physical world.
>because in my own experience of it, my own self
What exactly is this self that you are experiencing? Like I said, I can find instances of my body being affected by my thoughts very easily. But I can't find an instance of this thing which thinks directly affecting or being affected, since I have no idea how to conceive of it concretely.
>pls no Kant.
You're getting the K whether you like it or not

Now they're coming out of the woodwork

I saved an image from here a couple of months ago in a thread about Kant that was an excerpt from something, written about Kant's philosophy and the importance of understanding it, but I lost the image. It was a long vertical image of an excerpt, probably about 1000 words or something.

Here is a paraphrase: "One cannot truly live a fulfilled and understood life without having mastered Kant's philosophy, blah blah blah feels over reals and so on." That is basically the gist of it. If anyone can find it I would be so grateful. Thx

Phenomena are not "apparitions," they have objective validity. Have you even read Kant? It's like you read Rand's assessment and believed it, even though she herself never read him
