Normal time makes it easy to compare progress across different time scales by removing artificial human concepts of time. It creates a unified way to express completion of any cyclic or linear time period. Dehumanizing time in this way has the counterintuitive effect of making it more recognizably natural and intuitive for human beings to express and understime durations. Furthermore it respects that each human life is complete unto itself, removing the implicit judgment of longer lives being “more complete”. It creates a clear distinction between lives that are “in progress” and “complete” without obfuscating the progression of those lives. And it recognizes that all completed lives are equally whole.
