Abstract
Scale critique applies to time as well as space. Thinking with temporal scale variance can help us avoid seeing deep time as sublime, numerical, and continuous.

Because temporal scale domains have material finitude and specificity, they counteract the timelessness that accrues to ideologies of extinction.
