Think about it.
From birth until death we are assigned numbers. The predicate "x years old" (where x is a number) is used in a manner that implies it has meaning. But it is no more than a celestial scarring of the Earth; a marking on the sands of our habitat. Where did these numbers originate? And why are they accepted as universal truths? They are merely a blindly-evolved misfiring of primitive comparing and contrasting behavior. No more than a lion on the Savannah contemplating energy sources.
Numbers are a plague on our lives. They are used to control. You are x years old and now you must do y. This is the mantra by which we live. Note the use of the number to direct and control.
In times gone by, humans did not life their lives governed by numbers. Not merely the commoners, but kings too, were blissfully ignorant of the number to which today we would assign then. Imagine a life sans age. Where one is free to encounter life's supervenient obstacles at one's own pace and volition. The liberty to enter and exit centers of mental hygiene (formal education establishments) when one is mentally, emotionally, psychically and physically ready. Citizens will reach the zenith. Life as we know it will reach the zenith.
Linearity, closely related to numbers, is another institution we wish to cleanse from our mental store-houses.
