No, I popped out of my Mother May 11th, 1965, and I have fully lived a full life every day since then! I have way too many people that love or hate me ever since May 11th, 1965, as well as well-built and well lived memories of my own.
I see thing similarly. I see our existence as an arc between a potential and ground. If a mind is created in an arc, it's history and future are simultaneously created. The mind is the threshold point in between the source and the ground.
The mind is like the point a stone breaks the surface of a pond. The past is the ripples it creates. They propagate away from the mind, but are experienced by the mind as the past or future, depending on if they're moving toward the source(past) or ground(future)
@Punxi I guess A.I. has an advantage in that it can exist in the moment better because it isn't tied to the past or future. But, that advantage can also be a liability.
