Full Idea
In describing a time as 'now' one is not merely describing the world from one's own point of view, but describing the world as it is.
Gist of Idea
We don't just describe a time as 'now' from a private viewpoint, but as a fact about the world

A Reaction
If we accept this view (which implies absolute time, and the A-series view), then 'now' is not an indexical, in the way that 'I' and 'here' are indexicals.
