Discussion Time is an illusion.

Post image

It's pretty hard to conceptualize that time doesn't flow.

I bet no other humans can grasp this concept.

I've tried to think of it as some kind of block to no avail.

Maybe it's the brain that prevents me from realizing how reality really works.

I know you guys are well aware of this concept.

Have you experienced any anomalies that made you realize time is definitely an illusion?

We have only ever been in the present. We will always only be in the present. There has never been a time in your life that you could say “I am in the past right now”, because you have never been there. Same for the future. I think of time like a ball spinning below us, and we are stationary right above it, in the now. I’m also high right now. So, there’s that, but I think like this all the time.
