Yip, time is worth something to us humans because it is scarce, without its scarcity it loses all value.

  No, there is no reason to assert that scarcity determined importance. Air is not really scarce, yet it remains paramount - because it has real value. Time is a crucial resource: more useful time, more wealth; less, less wealth. If one felt a resource is not to be wasted just because of scarcity, that would be a subjective naïve misperception.

    I didn't generalize that scarcity equals value though. Time is valuable to me, because it is scarce.

      Time remains of value even when abundant. The logic that is valid for resources is valid for the instance of resource which is time.
