This moment right here. Any other moment is one you are imagining, a far-off one that your smart/stupid human brain tells you might exist someday. Or it is a moment from the past, one that your big ol' clever/retarded human brain tells you happened in a particular way--no doubt with the teller of the tale, you (your brain) at the center of the story.
It is a story told by an idiot-child to a drunk as recounted by an egomaniac.
And this idiot passenger inside your skull (speaking from experience) is clearly biased and not to be trusted.
Either way, these tales from past and future are in truth tales told by an observer, not by you, not by a participant. Because you are not participating in these imagined moments. You can only participate in one moment: this one.
