Essay (with Eric Macedo), Solitude Journal #4, 2022

Can time run backward in the future? Does time run slower in distant galaxies? The following text depicts a fictional dialogue with Nico, an eight-month-old, about his perception of time. Nico turns his efforts to show us that time should not be conceived as a unidirectional timeline and that the idea of future is a misconception that can only exist in the delusional minds of adults. The fictional conversation examines a few non-Western philosophical traditions in which only what we conceive as the past and, more importantly, as the present, play a role.
