Everything you see is just the past because of how slow light is and how slow signals in your body are. We’re living with a constant lag!

The even more fucked part is that everyone’s lag is different, and there is no universal “now”. Check this out if you want to lay awake for a few nights:

I can recommend neurological research too. Turns out individuals have different “clock speeds”, influencing their reaction time and even the “frame rate” of their visual perception (Fighter jet pilots!). Time is a funny thing, even without taking spacetime into account.
