I show how non‐presentists ought to respond to a popular objection originally due to A rthur P rior and lately updated by D ean Z immerman.

But presentism gains no advantage here, because it is equally incapable of accounting for the fittingness of certain other emotional responses to things past, in particular moral outrage.
