1: Regret is fake. It’s fake because every fork in reality is fake — it’s not there, it’s not real.

2: Except for this fork — this one, right here?

1: No. Because there *is no* fork; even the abstraction — the abstract idea of a fork, this fork, is not valid.

2: Right, so what’s real is only this, right now — this experience, right now.

1: No — it’s *all* real. The right now, what came before, or what’s left of it, and what’s coming next. It’s *all* real.

2: So it’s not one point, it’s not one place or one time; it’s a path, and there is only the one path, which is why it’s not a fork — because it’s the only one.

1: Yes! The counterfactuals don’t get a vote; they don’t get to regret — because they’re not real.

2: Now say it simpler.

1: You’re not allowed to regret because you don’t know what you are regretting.
