Time Shift

“Many kids today will live to see the year 2100”.

This is a comment from Tim Urban’s website “Wait but Why”, which, by the way, is a site infested by many rabbit holes to get lost in.

It is daunting to think that 2100 is only a lifetime away.

The other striking observation I heard recently was this:  compare being a teenager for the moon landing (now a baby-boomer), where it seems there was hope and striving and working together for a goal, versus being a teenager for 9/11/01, which brought fear, distrust and malaise about a lot of things.
