So I’ve been reading about Heidegger and his work Being and Time.
I only exist in a moment between memory and anticipation, between what has been and what will be. But the past no longer exists, and the future doesn’t exist either -yet- so as neither exist in the present moment then I don’t exist. It’s a scary concept which goes beyond explaining why I don’t get served in pubs. The past is what makes us who we are, the future is but our projection there, our hopes of what we may become. So concerns are simply about what will be but they don’t actually exist now.
This begs the question that if I don’t exist and the clocks just changed does that mean I won’t exist for an extra hour?
