It's really interesting to think about how we struggle to express the idea of the future having a causal impact on the past. I reckon this is because our language and our understanding of time are limited.

Our brains like to process events in a linear sequence, from past to present to future, but this view of time might not fully capture how everything in the universe is interconnected. It's possible that our language just can't handle these complex concepts.

So, I don't think anything mentioned in this thread contradicts the idea that "time always moves in one direction" and "entropy always increases".

Right. "Time only moves in one direction" is not saying much more than "our consciousness experience time moving in one direction". The very idea that time "moves" is entirely related to our vantage point. If our perception were not bound to time, then the nature of cause and effect might look completely different.
