This is a strange website where people crave 'facts', only to go berserk when someone actually gives them some.
Isn't that the truth!
You just focusing on the "Now" is not helpful to those that should be thinking longer term.
Planning for the longer term can only be aided by a clear of understanding of what is happening now. It is astonishing just how many contributors to these forums simply refuse to do either that, or understand the history of how "now" actually evolved.
