So interesting: “Pastness is the sense of the past, as opposed to what happened in the past.” It makes you wonder how one does anything *but sense the past, given that all events and lived experiences are filtered by so many viewpoints and historians.
“What happened” is almost infinitely variable, eh?
The comment about truthiness is spot on. It makes one wonder how the recent pastness of American politics will be recorded.
