We keep stressing about not having enough time, and then physicists come along and say, "Well, time might not even exist." It’s like carefully trying to organize a desk that isn’t actually there. Maybe focus is the only real resource.

Nothing about this invalidates any of our assumptions because time does, in fact, exist for us humans.

This sort of science is frustrating for me because we all know exactly what we mean when we reason about time together. Science saying, "time does not exist" doesn't do anything useful for us, because we already intuitively know this statement to be false conventionally.

Focus assumes you have free will.
