Chronoception Drift

Could Human Perception of Time Be Slowly Changing Over Generations?

Time is a deeply human experience, and yet it remains one of the most elusive aspects of consciousness. From sundials to atomic clocks, we have tried to measure and master it. But what if time itself—as we perceive it—is not constant? This article explores a speculative yet intriguing hypothesis: that human chronoception, or the subjective experience of time, may be shifting across generations. Not due to relativity or planetary rotation, but as a consequence of changes in culture, cognition, environment, and perhaps even biology.
