Beyond the obvious implications of this statement, it makes me consider Fredric Jameson's argument that the separation between modernism and postmodernism is that postmodernism replaces temporarily with spatiality. How this connects to Schmidt's statement is that it, too, denies the temporal dimension, in that an individual might have something they don't care is known, but that when is of prime importance, whether that be in in regards to what might be called more intense circumstances, or simply that, say, and author typically does not want the first draft of a book out there.
