@PiecingBabyFaceTogether But even with time: if that moves forwards, it's getting later.

@NerdyPotato I mean yea lol in art though when you bring a layer forward it moves closer to you.

@NerdyPotato I kinda wanna hear why they getting 10 am. Like, what is the reasoning
NerdyPotato · M
@TurtlePink me too... @OogieBoogie posted some explanation, but I still don't quite understand.

@TurtlePink @NerdyPotato its about whether you see time from the perspective of "now" or "then ".
If you see it from the 'now' perspective , you see the time is moved forward to the now , ie : 10 am .
If you see time from a then perspective, you see the time is moved forward from 'then' , ie 2pm .
Ok... this just sounds confusing 😂
Im sorry 😂

@NerdyPotato there was a study done to try and work out why people view time differently.
It had something to do with good and bad emotional experiences in childhood .
People who usually had good memories, saw themselves as moving thru time .
People who had bad ones generally saw themselves as time moving through them.
Not an offical truth , but an interesting study.

@OogieBoogie that's interesting indeed! Though with that explanation I would have thought I'd see time as moving through me.

@InOtterWords so back in time is bringing it forward and forwards in time is pushing it back? 🤔
