The article is about our perception of time passing, not really about time itself.
I noticed her book also has the term perception in the title which clarifies the topic.
- k__ 7y agoThat's reasonable. If we are born, we don't know anything, so many of the new things we learn are valuable memories. The older we get, the more we know. What we see today can be the same known stuff we already saw yesterday. That's just a logical conclusion. But there is also a thing we can affect, and that is to do something we didn't do before, there are probably more than enough acitivities on earth we can choose from. If we do the same thing for years, our past gets blurry, but if we do new things once in a while we got something to hold on to. Problem is, the older we get, the more we want to do the stuff we already know, so by being conservative in our choices you rob us of our past.
