"Huh, which is it?"

You said that "We make an infinite number of movement events through an infinite number of moments in time to reach the corner."

I merely pointed out that this is patently false. You have never done either and you never will. If there are infinite moments of time or space between you and an object, then you can never reach the object. You could not even blink.

"Time helps only to interpret experience, as does mathematics"

Time is ESSENTIAL to experience. Mathematics is not. Without events separated by time we have no events. Because different events require that change occurs. And all change requires duration. Without events we have no experience.

"Is it absurd to separate time into parts or is it necessary to do so? Make up your mind."

Events are separated by time. We all know that events come before and after other events. Your mother was born BEFORE you were...not in the same "moment". Events are necessary for experience--even intrapsychic events.
