Abstract
This essay explores the media-theoretical and time-critical implications of the facts that we all will die and that we move irreversibly forward through time. It ranges broadly across several thinkers (such as von Baer, Eliot, Kittler, and Borges) and situations (thermodynamic decay, being stuck in traffic, and the rarity of randomness).
