No we don’t, we perceive the present. We perceive length width and height, and have the ability to traverse that space. We don’t have currently have the ability to experience anything other than the current moment. Have you seen the movie Arrival? That’s an attempt to show what truly perceiving time would be like.
Time is the fourth dimension, humans do not have the ability to perceive time, we only experience the passage of time

Initially I was in the “shut up, there’s multiple instances that the news could be posted to” crowd, but then I noticed that it’s been posted to !world@lemmy.world like 20 times and I wanted to come back and apologize. Guys, please check the comm before posting the article.
I don’t think I was totally clear. It’s not that I think they have no fault in the matter, but I don’t think they’re the root of the problem. Nor do I think that being mad at them does anything to address our current situation. My point is, direct the blame at those most responsible. The oligarchs and the right wing politicians have earned at least 99% of the blame for where we’re at. I don’t see any point in attacking the victims of propaganda, even if you think you wouldn’t have fallen for it.
I believe that, but it’s important to remember that there’s very little consistency in schooling. There’s a wide range of quality in public schools even within my state. Before you even mention private schools with their own agendas
I don’t love “dumber than dogshit” to describe a group of people, even Trump supporters. It places blame and denigrates those people while giving a pass to the environment they grew up in that gave them indoctrination instead of real education.
It shouldn’t but it does still baffle me how Trump is so consistently pulling from the Hitler playbook while still having as many people that do deny it
I understand that there’s a subset that support him because of that (even while denying it) but I still think (hope) that the majority of them truly don’t like what Hitler did
Honestly this is a great joke but also could legitimately be a good service for someone who didn’t feel safe walking alone, or needs help navigating
I was trying to remember what it means to be indicted by a grand jury
In a grand jury, they are simply determining whether there is enough evidence to even seek a trial in the first place and to bring these charges on behalf of the people. Because of that, the standard is much lower. The standard is probable cause
Also it just requires a simple majority
The large majority of resources and facilities are owned by a small minority of wealthy individuals whose only goal is making money. People with more interest and passion in the field in question would continue to innovate as long as they had the resources to do so.
Capitalism stifles innovation
I would love those 2 to have the most expensive trial in history
That’s only true of the too few people that control too much resources
Yes and no. You’re right in that the dictionary definition of tourism is basically just visiting another place, no matter what you’re doing. And your second sentence I was definitely trying to allude to. But colloquially, (and maybe this is just my experience) we talk about touristy things to do and touristy attractions and tourist season and building economies around tourism. It really feels like tourism is something that is outside invading into a community and often either setting aside or commodifying the culture of the destination. Maybe there’s a different word that I can’t think of that would be more accurate to use instead of tourism, but I don’t think I’m using it in a way that’s contradictory to how I usually hear the word used. I also say all this as someone from and living in an area that attracts a lot of tourists.
Yeah, I’m not sure there is an ethical tourism. Being a tourist means being an outside viewer of another culture. Even without the financial and environmental costs, it’s still treating these people and places like zoo attractions. Of course I don’t think it’s unethical to travel and experience a culture different than your own, I don’t even think I’m against the idea of vacation. I just think that you have to be willing to be immersed in where you’re visiting. Not keeping it at arms length and behind a lens, but where it has the ability to change you and teach you something real.
I didn’t have much in but I’m divesting from all stocks and cashing out. Everyone should sell it all and let the market crash.
Space and time are not the same thing, they are facets of spacetime. We are only able to traverse space because we can properly perceive it, we do not have the ability to traverse time. I obviously understand the movie is fiction, it’s still a decent attempt at showing what it might be like to be able to truly perceive and traverse time. Our way to understand it (as depicted in Arrival) is the ability to actually see and experience the past and the future. You and I and no being we know about has the ability to see anything except the present.
As an example, the screen you are reading this on presents a 2d image. It does not have the ability to produce a 3d image (though we can make illusions that seem like it sometimes). That screen is constantly moving through 3d space (on spaceship Earth), but you still wouldn’t say that it’s presenting a 3d image because it doesn’t have the ability to directly interact with that space. Just like how we are moving through time but don’t have the ability to directly interact with that spacetime.
