I think it true in the case of bodies, computers, house bells, etc.
that they are just that - NOWs!

The viewer pre-empts the observation, invents the observation, and
this takes time: evolved, we use them. Assimilating oneself to one's
computer's ingenuity is not a good idea.

Why? The computer could not have created you!

Computers don't have aims or personal histories: we do, and they could
not have invented themselves. Think!

Unless you think everything is an 'accident', we exist outside of
biological time.

We are outside our discoveries and inventions and our biological
heritage.
