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

    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

    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.

    Every new drop in the memory bucket is proportional to all the memories in the bucket. Each new memory makes up less of the whole, making it seem like time goes faster. It’s a real phenomenon

      I’m not sure how scientific that is in terms of how the brain actually works — I mean it’s a network of neurons that adjust connections, not a hard drive that can be filled or emptied…

      But I love how much I relate to your anecdote — It just feels like it makes sense — because we really do perceive time to pass faster as we age.

        I was just summing up a concept I remembered from somewhere. If we’re going to get specific about it, it’s called Weber’s Law, there’s an interesting numberphile video about it about the rate of change, and our experience with different levels of stimulus where the required “ratio” to feel a difference remains the same, which essentially means it takes more to notice. It wasnt an anecdote either, it was a metaphor for that concept / law regarding life experiences. It’s a very real thing.
