Or you could say what anti conceptual mentality your statement reveals! Animals live on a perceptual level of consciousness and your Nowism is on that level -it's the consciousness of a cretin and imbecile. What could possibly be accomplished by human beings with such a narrow range of the moment consciousness other than a self created arrested mental development, a preconceptual consciousness of a child before it has become fully human?
Skyscrapers, interplanetary travel, computers, language everything that has made civilisation possible would be obliterated with such a mongrel anti philosophy as Nowism. It is hippy consciousness incarnate and last time I checked that did not end well and is regarded by most with ridicule -see the character in the classic comedy of the 80's Young Ones Neil as a trenchant psychological study of the quintesential hippy.
Was any of the above achievements and inventions to name but a very few of the thousands ever accomplished by someone sitting cross legged on the floor seeking thru meditation to maintain a permanent state of Nowism?
Think of the time it took to evolve language into concepts and that the very statement there is only now relies on such a development over time in articulating its very denial and you can see how facile and anti intellectual New Age 'thinking' is and how it can be dismissed contemptuously once subjected to the cold analysis of reason and plain commmonsense!
