For example, Goedel demonstrated that per general relativity time travel is possible and therefore time is an illusion. Yet, we see time, think in terms of time, and don't have a clue what to do about it.
Then perhaps it is time we learn to think timelessly(not carelessly in an entropic manner)and beyond the selfish confines of our human selves...indeed such thinking may lead to a rebirth of our American civilization!
