Nor, by your reasoning, could it possibly ever be your fault, since my current view of what I am has causes in the past, and you didn’t exist in the past. By the same reasoning, nothing else could possibly ever be your fault, except possibly for what you are doing in the instant that I blame you for it… not that it matters for practical purposes, since by the time I got around to implementing consequences of that, you would no longer exist.
