If time-binding is the feature, it’s clear that binding bias is the bug. The philosopher describes these concepts as a hierarchy with plants on the first tier, animals on the second and human time-binding at the top. I’m not sure the author is correct there. I think there may be some version of prehistoric time-binding that occurs in animals, only without the bugs. Perhaps this is superior.

Time-binding is indeed a very interesting concept, connected to History. And we rely on History for so many things, not knowing that it is just one timeline of many. When disagreements occur about what happened, what if both parties are right, because they connected to different timelines? But what if we humans also in reality are stuck in an eternal present, in the NOW? What if linear time only has relevance when our brains are involved? What if outside of that, all times are NOW. This is what many NDEs reveal. Outside of brain-influence access to different times AT ONCE are possible. In the dream state similar experiences are possible. Interesting prospects, eh? :) Maria
