Abstract
Tallant (2007) challenges my recent defence of no-futurism (Button 2006), but he does not discuss the key to that defence: that no-futurism's primitive relation ‘x is real-as-of y’ is not symmetric. I shall therefore answer Tallant's challenge in the same way as I originally defended no-futurism. Doing so allows me to clarify what no-futurists should believe and to supply a variety of semantic principles for no-futurism. It also shows why no-futurists have nothing to fear from sceptical challenges. This is not to say that no-futurism has no weaknesses, however, and I conclude by suggesting where attacks on no-futurism would be better targeted.
