@CWingUexkull The notion of time as a completely existing whole is very Eleatic, but in this case I'm not sure how to model that system from those quotes. It sounds like this Schopenhauer guy doesn't quite get it.

@CWingUexkull It sounds like two parts that together constitute time. The sphere would be all the possible events, with a separate, "extensionless present" that touches them. Like someone shining a torch on a rolling ball; only where the light and the surface meet is really "time".

@CWingUexkull If we want all moments of time to exist, then we should say the ball is perfectly covered in light. This talk of a point on a revolving sphere would merely be a convenient way of describing what it feels like for us to be on this sphere. But it isn't metaphysically significant.

@CWingUexkull Of course, this is from a person who doesn't know anything about Schopenhauer. I'm just forming some simple thoughts based on two screenshots.
