Which is fine but it's not a meaningful change to the perspective of me on page 120 when I think "when we reach page 163 I will no longer feature in this novel"

Our problems with death are, basically, ego. How you mentally model time and the universe doesn't take that away
- SiempreViernes 8y agoWhile I agree that death will feature no matter how you model time, the difference between the flowing time and the block universe in this regard is that in the block universe you never cease to exist. In the model of flowing time, once you are dead you've passed out of existence, only to be clinging on trough the memories of others.
