Telescope Time (or microscope time) is a metaphor for time spent exploring reality. It is a measure for how well the society we live in is functioning. If we have a good stable community to live in that is safe, has good education, food, transportation, utilities, and happy productive people then we have time left to look through telescopes and explore the universe we live in. We have time to explore reality and grow the Tree of Knowledge. However if we live in a world of high crime, war, injustice, or poverty where we have to work hard just to stay alive then we have less telescope time and can't explore reality.
As members of the Church of Reality the exploration of reality is important to us. We need to explore reality so that humanity can Stay in the Game. Otherwise we will be Left Behind. We therefore require a stable happy community so that we have telescope time so that we can continue to exist.
