No Years

 Imagine if there were no years:  no 2021, 1914, 1815, etc, in other words if we didn’t have a numerical time system in terms of years. It probably is effectively inconceivable as a possibility due to our intellectual nature and how, with accumulated knowledge, it entwines with our environment, but its absence is still an interesting thought to try to consider. And how deeply that alternative human universe would feel without what can be a kind of great artificial, mechanised veil over being.
