If a deadline has been assigned to a task, doesn't that mean the task is something of importance? Please expand on this: "the deadline is an attempt to make the immaterial consequential".
You're right - immaterial here being used in the more secondary sense of intangible (versus the primary sense of important). Confusing to the point being made tho, so I'm changing to "insubstantial" instead. Thanks for the close reading!
