(about finding evidence of the past)

And when you get that confirmation, it would instantly
become the past itself. So in effect, you would be using the
past, which does not exist, to confirm something else from
the past. And if you repeat the process a thousand times,
with a thousand different pieces of evidence, together they
would still be nothing but impressions of the past supporting
other impressions of the past.
