‘Story Of Your Life’ Is Not A Time-Travel Story
The simultaneity of awareness is not novel, but the acceptance of it, the refusal to change the future, is, and people are ignoring this authorial premise and tying themselves into knots to explain it as something else because it unsettles them.<p>How could someone know the future and not change it? How could someone let bad things happen?<p>In fact, it&#x27;s actually quite zen. Well, I&#x27;m not sure if it is really, but let&#x27;s pretend being aware, accepting, and recognising the beauty&#x2F;rightness in every moment is zen.<p>And this ties back to the light path and minimisation. When you have that awareness of simultaneity maybe all your possible paths&#x2F;options must naturally collapse into that beautiful sequence that you have no need or desire to alter.<p>Now how this simultaneity of awareness coexists with mortality, well that is a head scratcher.
