when i was in the fifth grade i walked home from school one afternoon with two of my friends. they pointed out that the new girl had a nice ass[butt?]. i had never experienced 'nice ass' before, so i made sure to pay special attention to her ass so i would know what a nice ass is for future reference. there is a person or a story or a real-thing for every value or qualification. these real-things are the first real-world representation of the idea of the thing as evoked by the real-thing. stephanie cox's fifth grade ass is my standard for 'nice ass'. as disturbing as that is. sometimes you meet someone who so perfectly encapsulates the principle 'thing' that they supercede the original 'real-thing'. they are closer to the true Form of the thing; like the anthropomorphic representation thereof. thats what i was going to aim for with the age thing...someone who IS age. i didnt get to spend much time on it though, because all this paxil i take for my Social Anxiety Disorder makes me flighty and i was busy trying to copy paste a sixty line conversation into my journal while trying to determine in the most accurate way possible exactly which fairy princess i would be [i didnt get the answer i wanted, so i am going to retake the quiz again and change my answers so i can be my favorite.]. also, i dont know kant and dont understand what you say he says.

all kant really points out is that time is something we never observe. he splits all knowledge into things we know innately and things we learned from experience. we don't gain knowledge of time from observation like we do, lets say, the number of windows in a house. explain time to me. how did u figure it out? where is it and whats it taste/feel/look/sound/smell like?
so from this he concludes that we must be born with the concept of time already in our heads. in fact, he makes the even stronger arg that the concept of time is a necessary innate concept for us to even get (order) experience.
thats all kant is. totally harmless and about as dazzling as an o.k. card trick.
