In Consilience, EO Wilson defines organic time as linking our immediate perception of passage of time to the speed of biological processes. It seems to me that definition allows one meaningful anchor for time and still remains consistent with your description.
Thanks for having a read, George, and great to hear from you. You bring up a good point about spending quality time with others. Note how we call it "quality" time. We can't convert the time into a "quantity," and there's no real number we can put on it.
Fabulous essay, thank you.

Thanks for reading, Adrian. I’d never heard of Wilson, but I’ll check out Consilience.
You are in for a treat!
