The Smartless podcast episode with Neil deGrass Tyson actually touches on this. Because we are seeing things as light reflects we are never actually seeing things in the present - only as fast as light hits our eyes

So your thoughts are present but anything you see is technically in the past. And even then there is still the time it takes for your synapses to process thoughts so even thats in the past!

You can watch your past by setting up a mirror far enough away that you're watching the past reflection of yourself!
