      when you think about the Arc(s) of History and the diversity of ways humans have lived and thought and the circumstances they have produced and endured do you find yourself more or less stressed out by contemporary Events

      i bet old people often have a comparative advantage in long term thinking because they have gnosis of more weird ways of existing and every time a generation dies we lose access to the lived memory of strange past times this is to be mourned alongside the individuals imo

          I’m 67 and in the past 5 or so years I’ve been quite conscious of having experienced several mini epochs from at least two perspectives each. I’m experiencing current events as simultaneously horrifying, galvanizing/freezing by turns, fascinating, and—fleetingly—exciting.

          ❤️ i think the value of this kind of poll is less "how did you vote" than "how do you even think about something like this" usually I like answers to all be plausible depending on how one interprets the question or the options

          Replying to @shaboom @eigenrobot

          I always thought the way I understand life these days would insulate me from or elevate me above mood swings. Turns out that seeing them/seeing through them doesn’t preempt or negate the experiences I’m patterned to have and privilege. I’m just as *ing human & fallible as ever.

          life extension will perversely reduce this. wisdom is the closeness to death, not the exposure to life.

          We do, though it's more helpful as life finding a way than in germane specifics. There are so many dynamics of safety, stability, money, reputation, exploitation between and among groups and individuals to begin with, then you throw in material conds, technologies, ideologies...

          The one I'm familiar with that feels the most germane at the moment: my great grandparents weathered the Depression by being the maintenance man and the cafeteria lady at a small govt outpost in a rural area. They just did their stuff and kept their heads down and they were fine.
