Key Notes
Time and space are internal filters for understanding reality rather than things that exist outside us.
Jiang defines time as sequence and space as sensation, especially the five senses.
If one can control time and space, one can control reality itself.
Language controls time and space by allowing people with private perceptions to arrive at a collective understanding of reality.
Because the universe is beyond space and time, truth contains past, present, and future together; a truth claim can therefore be tested by whether it happens.
Truth is a tool and is eternal; past, present, and future collide and converge on truth.
He presents Kant as teaching that humans never know the noumenon directly because time and space are filters through which reality becomes phenomena.
In answer to how Caesar challenged Roman identity, Jiang says Caesar changed time through the Julian calendar, acted alone as a great man, and violated the republican lesson that no one is above Rome.

Julius Caesar was not only a general or politician.
For most of human history, Jiang argues, humans were peaceful, egalitarian, and artistic because the forest, animals, ancestors, and spirit world were not scenery.
