Those who cannot yet rid themselves of the notion that space and time are actual qualities inherent in things in themselves may exercise their acumen on the following paradox. When they have in vain attempted a solution and are free from prejudices at the last few moments, they will suspect that the reduction of space and time to mere forms of our sensuous intuition may perhaps well be founded.
I Found this quote interesting. I feel like Kant is trying to explain to us what he means by space and time bc maybe everyone has their own recollection of what space means to them. He explains that they are actual qualities inherent in things. Kant is saying what ever an object or something is made up of is what takes its space. that is what i am getting out of this quote.

If people were to be unable to grasp the concept of space and time our world would be in chaos. Driving would be impossible because people would be unsure if their gas and brake pedals were in the same spot that they were a second ago. These imbasiles would jam on their brakes because they wouldnt know if they could drive past the path of someone that just walked across the street. The concept of space and time is as important and essential to our success as anything else.
