I am a native speaker. I think the language problem is on your end.

You changed the future in this thread, by responding to me with an incredibly literal reading of my comment. So I responded and now you get to read it.

So here we are in the future, having a conversation about philosophy and time’s arrow. It didn’t have to be that way, you could have made some other comment, or I could have not responded.

I don't see how you can change something that doesn't exist (yet).
