Abstract
“The eternal life is given to those who live in the present.” Ludwig Wittgenstein. Tractatus
The only time a choice can be made is in the present. The future is a present anticipation and the past is a present remembrance. Your experience probably shows you that learning makes possible more options; more choice. Choice facilitates learning. A person who chooses to explore what is remarkable, interesting, and important learns more and has more choice, and is projected to have more learning at levels 4-6. (Once again, brains invent themselves at levels 4-6 type learning.)
