naturalistic view future present past
The “Future”… what is it really? When you think of the future what comes to mind? Is it, where you’ll be, how you’ll be, how you’ll look, or maybe it’s… will you make it to see the future. Well I can answer that last question for you, it’s a pretty simple answer actually; you’ve already have made it. Yes, that’s right; you are in fact living in the future as you read this post. How? You may be wondering, well that explanation to is simple, you see there isn’t a future and there is a future. Now I know I just made explaining this concept to you slightly more difficult to follow; but hear me out. The current time state we label ourselves being in is called the “present”, now the present is an continuance of constant time moving forward in which everyone and everything around you is in sync and in tuned with. And if you really think about it, logically speaking, that would mean there is no future cause the present is always prevalent or the major premise no matter which time period you’re in or skip to (yes past included, but see it’s a really difficult concept to follow because the past is any time skip to a period before the “present” but that’s a completely different story).Back to the matters at hand, what I explained about the present above would mean that there is no such thing as the “future”. Now you’re probably wondering what’s the point of all this or perhaps what is it I’m trying to say, and simply put, what I’m saying is that instead of time-skips forward or existing in a later time period ahead of the present; you simply exist in an extended present. To further explain, an extended present is any time period that is ahead of the universal present (the present that most people and things have in common). So an extended present is technically the future just in proper terms and ideas as well as principalities. There exists many “presents” that scatter in all directions, and many of those presents happen to be in sync with one another but there are a few that process faster and slower than the common. The faster “presents” are known as extended presents and the slower ones are known as suppressed “presents”. Remember faster presents are known as extended presents and not the future because , you cannot exist in something that is always constantly being created but not yet formed, think about it, how can you live in something that is not yet there? Exactly, you can’t; thank you for reading, this was purely my opinion and not in any way created to be a critic or bash anyone.
