This chapter argues that if only the present exists, we can never interact with other existing objects or persons—a conclusion that is claimed to be highly undesirable from the perspective of lived experience. The basic argument is that causes temporally precede their effects, and interaction requires causality. Possible ways out of this conclusion with respect to the idea of a specious present are discussed but shown to be insufficient. By contrast, it is shown that the combination of the stack-theory of personal identity from Chap. 6 with the existence of the past can provide a picture of real, ontological human connection that affirms lived experience.
