Are you sensing a curiously strong resonance effect with the world, as in “these are the times I was born to live through”? Like an extra-strong sense of being in tune with the times? If so, follow-up question: how old are you?

The only thing that resonates is how much of the world is built on pure bullshit. To old for that to come with any of the optimism and hope of youth.

<- 48 yo, joining you in anti-resonance. I'm reading "Why Life Speeds Up as You Get Older," which has a photo-essay of a middle-aged to elderly DE couple living through WWI & WWII. On some weird level, I was unprepared for the forces of history continuing after I turned 45.

I believe that ppl who experienced the 1960s and early 1970s are less likely to be freaking out in our current difficulties, which do not compare to the shock of the assassinations, the agony of Vietnam, or the ongoing horror of the Cold War.

Disagree. I lived through 2 PM assassinations (Indira and Rajiv Gandhi) and multiple terrorist movements in India in 80s. Those kinds of stress stay localized to hotspots. This touches everybody. 100%. It’s not just flaming streets on TV. Participatory stress >> spectator stress.

I was born in '88 and have felt in tune with the times, thanks in part to your writing.
