I first thought of this next year

We’re totally dependent on a really limited frame of reference when it comes to observing the way stuff goes. Like, scattered shards of glass are never seen to emerge from your bare foot causing it to instantly unbleed as you hold out your hand while a tumbler full of some delicious beverage assembles itself on the floor and leaps up into your grasp so you can regurgitate some fluid into it. We never perceive anything unhappening. Because entropy, but our sample size is limited to one. What I mean is, maybe time runs both ways but we just don’t remember.

Silly man. Time doesn't "run" in any direction at all. It just is. Humans seem to run in all manner of direction for no discernible reason. And they worry about time a lot.

You're right of course, but what can a guy do? "Silly man" is a redundancy.
