    On average, every 120 years, the entire human population is renewed

    Everyone in the entire world alive today, on average wasn’t around 120 years ago

    And in 120 years from now (on average and depending on how well we develop new medical technologies) everyone, including you and me, will all be gone and forgotten.

    2025… IT doesn’t feel real as the current year, I legitimately odn’t understand how I’m still alive. I feel like an aged immortal being that was there at the dawn of man and has watched him fail to approach anything resembling a true Gilded Age, and now I crave death to see a world beyond the material, to be free from my captors, and ascend to greater things.

    I’m 33

    Now do January 2025.

    The IRL version of the used car salesman meme: “(Slaps roof) We can fit so many months inside this bad boy…”

    Nah, you have to compress everything since 2000 in a single line, and make 2020 take all of the rest of it.

    I am on the contrary quite comforted by this. Easier to make sense of things, tackle or accept things that don’t make sense.

    Lots of difficulties behind, making current and future ones seem manageable.

    Growing old is not that bad.
