Here I come Norway!!! With my parents that could no longer receive social security or pensions. I do have some marketable skills, but 200 million or so of us are going to need a BIG safety net.
Honestly yea that’s something I never understood in matrix. Like just give me superpowers in the simulation and I’ll gladly go sit in a pod for the rest of my life
The theory that in one point in time, science will help us live longer say a couple of years, and during that time, science will find out how to make us live some more years etc until we can live how long time we want to.
I really don’t get the debate against even just living longer…
The point of longevity isn’t to have a rambling grape, it’s to have people stay in their prime for significantly longer time. This means anything you could want to do then would be avaliable. With optimal mind too, imagine the spike in development of technology. Maybe the singularity or something, and all of a sudden anything anyone imagines can be done. It’ll be a world of dreams, and surely dreams can’t get boring, right?
What is the most important step a person can take?
It is the next step. Always the next step.
If I pretend I haven’t done bad things, it means I cannot have grown to become a better person.
Journey before destination. It cannot be a journey if it doesn’t have a beginning.
I will take responsibility for the things I have done. If I must fall, I will rise each time a better man.
(Adapted from The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson. If you, like me, struggle with depression, I heartily recommend the series. This bit above isn’t from the character who most resonates with me, but another whose name I won’t put here to avoid spoilers. But Kaladin, one of the main characters and the primary focus of the first book, The Way of Kings, is one of the best examples of a character with major depressive disorder I’ve ever read. The kind that isn’t just fixed when things go well. The kind that is a lifelong struggle with the darkness. But it is such a beautifully crafted story and makes me feel so many feelings. Give it a read/listen, your local library probably has the audiobook if that’s your jam and you can listen on your phone.)
My two year old’s best friend is a three year old… Jfc it’s like watching innocence and insanity play together. I love her friend but damn she’s brutal. While my girl is still a bit too small to be hurt or angry about mistreatment and lets so much slide. And in a year my forgiving two year old will be this intimidating mess.
