<p style="background-color:white !important"><span style="margin:0px;font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Segoe UI", sans-serif;color:rgb(32, 31, 30) !important">In this paper I argue that if future-bias (the preference to have pleasant events located in the future
not past, and unpleasant events located in the past not future) is rationally permissible, then it’s permissibility is not grounded in our beliefs about, or experiences as of, time robustly passing as some have argued. Their idea is that because we believe
that, or it seems to us as though, future events are coming towards us and past ones are over and done with and receding away from us, it is rational for us to discount the value of past events over future ones. I argue that (a) even if we have these beliefs
and experiences, they are the wrong <i>kinds</i> of things to make future-bias rational and (b) even if they <i>were</i> the right kinds of things, as a matter of fact future-biased preferences are not sensitive to these beliefs or experiences, and so they
cannot make those preferences rational.</span></p>
