In order for space to exist. All space must exist — infinitely in all directions. An infinite infinity of space — pre exists for any space to exist at all.
Time is the same — for any moment to be — all time forwards and back must pre exist.
But we are are not assembled in an infinite state — we live and die. We live within a timeline that moves in one direction.
I heard a rabbi explain god like this:
We are finite and think of God as infinite. But God is not the infinite, God is beyond the infinite, god is the process of the infinite and the finite interacting.
All of us — right now.
Are in an extinction event. it is wishful thinking to believe you are gonna out run and or out smart it.
Please shame me all the way to hell in the comments if you have receipts showing how we are stopping our extinction.
Here’s a dasboard — all the indicators show we have not affected a change

So when we say “ But there is still time” … really?
The race to extinction has been long running and we are barely off the starters block, just when is this enormous wave of change gonna make an impact on that dashboard.
You are 1 in 8 billion.
If all your hope for survival is having online opinions and trying to get others to solve your problem — good luck.

Like most climate change reporting, this article is an appeal to make change so we don’t go extinct.
Unlike most reporting there is a open admission that we are an extinction — and that is a fact. Too much attention on it as fact will keep it out of publication — so it is full of scare and soothe.
this says it all
“The reason people don't do anything is not because they don't care. It's because they don't know what to do, and the actions that are suggested most of the time are like pissing in the wind," said Verlie.
So the reason we don’t do anything is because we don’t want to do something — not even something we could do.
In stating “ People don’t know what to do” is also saying that people know what is going on. Being a codependent in a world of abuse is an acceptable reason for us all to die in an extinction.
Time is infinite — we are not.
Best to start framing reality in terms of praxis
PRAXIS:
a: exercise or practice of an art, science, or skill
b: customary practice or conduct
