It is metaphysically impossible to be instantly aware of an event. By the time our neurons fire and register the occurrence, it's already over by a few nanoseconds. We are deaf and blind to reality, and can only see it in the rear view mirror, so to speak.

Technically, since all time is cyclical, we're living in the future.

Double post just confirms the message you're trying to convey.

But if we're all deaf and blind to reality, wouldn't we all be blindly living in the present? Only someone who isn't deaf and blind to reality would truly be living in the present leaving all of us normal people living in the past.

I am just finishing up the last season of Fringe. Although the last season or so has been lower quality, the first 3 seasons were on point with some of this metaphysical shite.

I recommend checking it out for anybody who is taking this thread seriously.

Acid isn't for everyone. You should probably lay off before you hurt yourself.

Not entire true. I knew before even clicking on this thread that it would be stupid.

Does this mean when we die we never really die?

No silly. It means we die before we realize we are dead. So technically, we could all be dead right now.

I'll know something is up when the only posts on her are from rebeloke, Jim rockford, mizzoukillz, and oweo.

But if no one is experiencing reality, is reality real?

Maybe our brains are the present and everything happens a few nanoseconds in the future.
