"While we have no well-established theory ...:"~~~

IS
THE SITUATION
IN WHICH "MY FUTURE
OCCURRED FIRST CHRONOLOGICALLY"
ANY DIFFERENT FROM A NARRATIVE
(which remains difficult in fact to conceive, let alone to articulate)
of history starting with the present and going backward?
Does our common predilection for seeing ourselves growing older rather than younger cause our tendency to see the past moving into the future?
Why do we think we know the past better than the future - merely because our observations about the past accord better with the ob-servations of the others than our observations about the future? Why does the "young" Dylon's line
"I WAS SO MUCH OLDER THEN, I'M YOUNGER THAN THAT NOW"
affect us so powerfully?
Why do we think we know what that line means but we have such a hard time glossing it?
