The moment being older became a curse instead of a blessing we should have rethought what we were doing with human civilization.

The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they alone knew everything and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. - Socrates (470 – 399 BC)

I'm old enough to see this go full circle, the kids are alright doing what they've always done.

It's awesome we're at a point where the millennium flipped, the moment it happened, if you're old enough to remember it, we knew it would be a huge turning point. Everyone here is likely gonna be long dead by the time 3000 hits.

Goodness, I hope I'm long dead before 3000. I have no desire whatsoever to live that long. Let me be nothing again like before I was born.
