Comment on When does the future begin?

Well, technically, you never truly experience the present, as your brain processing whatever your senses are picking up is taking some time. So, from an individual standpoint, the future is always kind of already there, as you constantly react to things happening a couple microseconds late.
From a purely etymological point of view, the future is just any period of time that hasn’t happened yet.
