i don't actually think that i'm a tralfamadorian.

but, it's not dissimilar to my concept of time - i see my life as a blob that exists in a large scale continuum for future generations to take advantage of, not as this linear thing that i'm stuck moving through or taking advantage of.

so, i reject this false dichotomy between "the present" and "the past". it's a holistic whole. and, it's only meaningful from the perspective of the future.
