Default Remember the future

So im trying to fully understand this saying, just read this quickly;

"Constructing the future relies on the same memory capabilities. We use information from past events and general knowledge, stir that information into new forms, and construct a memory for a future event. I imagine visiting one of my sons this weekend by building possible events from other visits. I also use general knowledge about my son, myself, and where he lives. When I imagine the future, I do the same mental work as when I remember the past. I reconstruct the past and I remember the future."

Found off; http://m.psychologytoday.com/blog/me...ing-the-future

Now after reading that article to me it just means that remembering the future is just reconstructing the past and applying it to the future in terms of memory. I could be very wrong though. Is this one of those subjective things where you arent wrong or right?

Any and all opinions are welcome here, please share your view.

the future and your outlook/expectations of the future are two different things.

essentially, all thought processes deal with memory, so really all thought is remembering.

So when someone 'remembers the future' they are picturing it, smells, tastes, visions based on past experience and creating a vision of a time yet to come thus 'remembering' the future, right?

yea, basically

like i said, all thought processes are essentially manipulations of memory. even things that we haven't experienced, fictional & fantasy - are based on variations of things we know

Interesting. I say this cause I am watching a film called 'Mr Nobody'. The whole concept is basically remembering the future, sliding doors and what ifs. Great film.

No?

The future definied is: a period of time following the moment of speaking or writing; time regarded as still to come.

Time is linear, a constant state of present.

your vision is to narrow and limited sir. no disrespect implied.

I will give you the first key: "All this has already happened".


ponder.

So say I am wrong then, are you suggesting that all this has already happened because we live in a constant state to prepare for our future, thus always living in it but at the same time, never living in it?

Overload





I know you aren't disrespecting, I am trying to broaden my mind here, the saying "you never learn anything new off a person with the same opinion" rings true.

I will ponder.

@The Mind Assassin

You're doing that thing that people do when they suggest they know something others do not but don't actually explain what they claim to know.

Please don't do that.

the idea that time is cyclical always seemed very wishy washy to me. I've heard and read plenty of discourses on time and my favorite is the phenomenological time construction work. it does not approach time as something outside of ourselves which i think this 'remember the future' stuff sort of hints at.

Edmund Husserl did some great writing on time consciousness and internal time. as did Heidegger.. VERITAS you might or might not be interested, these guys slam psychology (as well as all natural science) pretty hard. but also have great respect for it's pursuits. definitely worth checking out.

All this has already happened due to fate?

Our lives are pre determined?

Not turning this religious but is that what you meant?

stfu bald fagg0t


cyclic time just proves your idiocy. determinism does nothing for us but justifies acts of evil as being presupposed, dare i say it - inherent


@Masaii last person to get knowledge of time from - a bald fagg0t who thinks the earth is 6000 years old
