{"product_id":"book-1iod","title":"Time Talks","description":"This is a series of discussions on Existential Realism - a framework that rethinks time, existence, and reality from the ground up.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt its core is a simple distinction:\u003cbr\u003eThe present alone exists - but the past and future are still real.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe past persists as traces, constraints, and records.\u003cbr\u003eThe future exists as structured possibilities, tendencies, and open directions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis series develops that idea across multiple domains.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe examine why the block universe fails to account for becoming, how quantum physics may favor a present-centered ontology, and why relativity does not eliminate the present but reshapes it into a relative structure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe move through entropy, causality, and the emergence of time - into biology, where organisms live in bounded temporal horizons, and into cognition, where time is both constructed and constrained.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe explore ethics grounded in the present, the role of agency in an open world, and formal logic systems that model these distinctions precisely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong the way, we confront competing views - presentism, eternalism, and various hybrid theories - not by dismissing them, but by placing them within a shared logical and conceptual space.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is not a single argument, but a cumulative framework.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach episode adds a piece: from physics to phenomenology, from formal logic to lived experience - all centered on one claim:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReality is not a frozen totality, but an unfolding structure in which the present is the only point of existence.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Author's Republic","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":66545332093232,"sku":"BD1iod","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/1iod-Square-cover.jpg?v=1776366782","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-1iod","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
