Another way of saying this is that there is a confusion when people say things like "the future already exists."

In a timelike way, the future does NOT already exist. We are creating the future. In a timelike way, also, the past doesn't exist either. It has morphed into the future.

Only in a fourth-dimensional way does the future exist. And we don't have the language to express this properly, or even mental ability to comprehend it well.

If all this is too confusing, what I want people to understand is that they have free will. Never start believing you don't have free will.
