Counterpoint: humans live our lives linearly, meaning we flow on one point forwards through time. We live in the present, but that doesn't mean the past and future don't exist. They simply seem like ideas or memories because we have no other way of perceiving time.

It’s crazy to think the past and future don’t actually exist. They’re only ever a memory or an idea.

Is “existence” limited to what is actively perceived by a conscious being? Or does this discussion, after we stop thinking about it, continue to exist on Jeffalo’s hard drive?
