Q: do we always live in the past, because by the time the light and sound gets to us it has already happened. Or do we always live in the future, because we constantly make tiny calculations about what will happen and be prepared for everything. Or do we always live in the present because the past was always the past and future will always be the present
A: it's a nice blend. there are many different possibilities for the future, and the brain allows us to explore this, and then create it, if we are brave enough
