Our natural tendency is to remember the past but not the
future, so Price asks us to change the way we think in a
rather profound way. I can't imagine how he expects us to do
that.
John K Clark
As Price says, we do remember (or retrosee) the past and do not
remember (or foresee) the future. That's the way we are (in this
universe, or part of the universe). But does it have to be that way?
Yes it does. If we remember the future and learned the past then
we'd just swap words. If we remembered the both we'd never learn
anything, we'd just exist. If we didn't remember anything, either
past of future, then we wouldn't exist.
Brent
I don't thinks so.
All of Price's "models" involve stochasticity. They are not deterministic.
I don't see how that counters my point.
Brent
As in the case of the interrogators of *Ypiaria* in his book.
