I'm reading a summary of T.S. Eliot's biography (and skimming quickly at that) for Tuesday's class, when I read that he was influenced by the philosophy of Henri Bergson, which gets me thinking about Benedict Anderson's argument that modern time is "empty homogenous time" ... and that gets me googling Bergsonian time, to compare it to, only to find out that Norbert Weiner used it as a model for time as it is experienced by cybernetic organisms, and that it has become a standard of sorts in all kinds [pdf] of cybernetic studies.
See? It all comes back to the robots!
