Self Storage Centres; Western Acquisitiveness
The recent proliferation of self storage centres is a symptom of Western materialism and acquisitiveness. It’s repellent and morally wrong when people take up more space or have more possessions than is their fair share on Earth. People who use self storage centres like Kennards Self Storage - unless they’re homeless - display a thoughtless selfishness and a psychological pathology that creates a need to acquire. Often people who have excess acquisitiveness are also fat. The selfishness is on two fronts: having too many possessions and taking up too much space. It’s the same pathology that results in people driving 4WDs/SUVs, eating too much, having oversize houses, being obsessed with making money, etc.
Stopping Time: Photon Stasis and Impossible Vision
When people create fantasies/stories about stopping time they get it wrong in that they don’t account for lack of photon movement. A person walking around in an environment with stopped time would see just blurs as their retinas come into contact with random, multidirectional photons suspended in the air. Further, the speed of contact of the retina and the photon might be so slow that the retina wouldn’t recognise the photon. The person would have to move their head at the speed of light and catch photons with their retinas to recognise them. Also the retina might rely on the vibration of the undulations in the wave function of the photon and the resultant energy.
If the person stayed absolutely perfectly still they might be able to carve out a scene in their vision except for the proton problems just mentioned. But staying perfectly still would be the equivalent of being stopped in time too; there would be no sense of time standing still for the person.
