    “Mental time travel” is the human ability to imagine one’s self in future or past settings. It lets us plan, draw up agreements, and reminisce about good times. Also a source of fears and anxiety. Swings and roundabouts, I guess.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mental_time_travel …

        Here's a question (as a guy who's read your books and watched your videos): Have you ever experienced a Time Warp? I've been in three so far. In every one, my watch has gained time to the point where I thought I was late for where I was headed. Nope. On time every time.pic.twitter.com/Cbrl5jr46k

        remembering the past and imagining the future are such amazing superpowers it’s bizarre that we can so easily take them for granted

        I often imagine conversations with people from the past, it's a great tool for perspective and reflection. To try to describe something to someone forces consideration. My imaginings use varying levels of complexity, from real (language barriers) to fun (H.S. class visit).
