"Imaginary time is indistinguishable from directions in space. If one can go north, one can turn around and head south; equally, if one can go forward in imaginary time, one ought to be able to turn around and go backward. This means that there can be no important difference between the forward and backward directions of imaginary time. On the other hand, when one looks at “real” time, there’s a very big difference between the forward and backward directions, as we all know. Where does this difference between the past and the future come from? Why do we remember the past but not the future?"

@Oceane Sean Carrol says time is just events ordered by entropy. the big bang was in the past because the universe had lower entropy than today, tomorrow is tomorrow because it will have more entropy than today.

#bonfire_feedback
This may be a bit of a different perspective on the Circles, Boundaries and Roles concepts. I have a parent with #Dimentia that loves social media.

Would it be possible to setup an account so that they can ONLY interact with users within specific circles and boundaries? And even further - limit that user's response types (like, retweet only)?

#BonfireFeedback If you're going to truncate link urls grab page title and interpolate into status. Currently the length is too long to be "pretty" and too short to be useful.

This makes it look like it was posted an hour ago when it was just the like that was an hour ago

maybe have the reaction time next to the action like "Jorge liked 1 hour ago" and then have actual post time in the current spot 🤷‍♀️

> When you give people too much information, they instantly resort to pattern recognition.

Good use of the above quotation by Marshall McLuhan in this article by L. M. Sacasas. They point out that we no longer access to coherent narratives, but rather find ourselves confronting "a cacophony of data points (videos, statements, claims, images, etc.)"

Which is why conspiracy theories abound.
