Why TIME Feels Faster As We AGE | Philosophy of Time

This is the video I wished to upload on New Year’s first day, but I couldn’t because I got busy with something, and this is exactly why I made a video about it.
Why does time feel like a burden as we get older? Watch the whole video to get the full concept of how time, as we experience it, shapes our lives and perceptions, especially as we age.
Anyways, In this video, I'll explore the philosophical insights of Henri Bergson, one of the greatest minds of the early 20th century, and his theory of time. As we grow older, we often feel like time accelerates, and this feeling has fascinated philosophers, scientists, and thinkers for centuries. Bergson’s groundbreaking work on subjective time, or duration (la durée), presents a compelling answer to why time feels faster as we age. He distinguishes between measured time, which is linear and clock-based, and duration, which is subjective and deeply tied to our consciousness and lived experiences.
Bergson's philosophy of time challenges the traditional, mechanical view of time, showing how it’s shaped by consciousness. He argues that as we age, life becomes more routine, and we stop engaging with novel experiences, making time feel contracted. This is the psychological perception of time, where memories and experiences affect how we perceive the passage of time. For Bergson, time isn't just a series of moments ticking away-it’s an ongoing, flowing experience deeply connected to our mental state and emotional experiences.
Through his famous debate with Albert Einstein, Bergson presented a compelling critique of the idea that time is just a spatial dimension. He emphasized that true time is felt and lived, not measured. This video delves into Bergson’s concept of duration, how it shapes our perception of time, and why it’s essential to reconnect with it in today’s fast-paced world.
We also explore how Bergson’s philosophy of time influenced modern philosophy, art, and even psychology, shaping the works of writers like Marcel Proust and James Joyce. Ultimately, Bergson reminds us to live fully and experience the richness of time, resisting the constant pressure of measured time.
So learn why time feels faster as we age, and how we can reconnect with the true essence of time in our daily lives.
