Hi All:) ...Why can't we remember the future?;)?

Question

..Thanks for answering..in advance!:) ..

Answer 1

First of all, time is not an actual thing like a line or a road. There is only present, but it changes, and our minds are like those crappy cameras that simply take a photograph every two seconds. There is not another room where something else is happening, there's only one room, but as things develop, more photographs are taken.
Ready? (Of course not, you simply would not be able to think without the concept of time. But anyways...)
Nothing that "is going to happen" is anywhere near real. They are all concepts and imagination, but nothing is taking place other than the present. Nothing that "happened" is real, either. There's only things and positions and this existence. Like if you had a truck and a doll two inches away, that's the only thing that's real. A truck and a doll two inches away. But you have pictures of "when" the truck and the doll were in another position. And they don't reflect reality at all, but they "did"
However, the most recent picture you take is of the present, which actually IS the only thing real. Neither present nor fure exist, actually, but you've got photos of the past which makes you think it's real.
I guess if you take time to be real, the nutshell version of this long stupidity would be "because future hasn't happened yet"

Answer 2

Too much to keep track of.

We don't remember all of the past, either. Just bits and pieces. And those bits and pieces are not necessarily representative of what anyone else experienced.

But back to the future. Let's say we all could see in both directions, forward and back. The quantum states of most events have not collapsed yet, so an 'accurate' vision of the future would see all of those alternative realities, or at least the most probable ones. You get the equivalent of double and triple vision, overlaps, blurring, etc. So, the brain filters that out to allow you to focus on the present.

Just as the brain filters out most of what you observed in the past, keeping only those fragments that happen to connect to something else in your memories. It's a sanity-preserving mechanism.

Which is why most people who can see alternate realities, pasts and futures, are out of the mainstream. The data forces them to look at the world differently, and those differences are not valued by almost everyone else. So, what is the incentive to develop these gifts and practice these abilities, when it just makes you a target for people who are afraid of them?
