>BEFORE it transpires (through 'Prophecy' - religious, economic or otherwise; e.g.: Climate Change)>WHILE it transpiring (through 'Narrative')>AFTER it has transpired (through 'Retcons' and 'Memoryholes')If Clownworld was to escalate in a decade, its NPCs to chose to adopt a new calender over night and to kill anyone who objected - and succeded with it - anyone born after these events would live in whatever arbitary age they are taught.
If that calender was set 500 years in the future, the people born in 'our 2032' would live through the '2530s', genuinely believeing that, for example, the Second World War had transpired more than 570 years ago.
>The integrity of whatever testimony of time (e.g.: artifacts, ruins, books, ...) you may find is completely irrelevant, if you don't know WHEN you are.Mind you this generational Game of Telephone is being played for atleast multiple centuries... we are timeless stragglers.
In short, to burrow Orwell's words:
>"The past was ereased, the erasure was forgotten , the lie became the truth."Ponder the consequences of this indefinitely arrested development of human civilization.
