    I’m a 40 year old man, and my grandmother was born 45 years closer to the Civil War than to today. When she was growing up in the American South, she knew elderly people who had been slaves. Our perception of time is heavily skewed toward yesterday, but time flies

      I’m 50. I remember when getting an answering machine was a big deal.

      Another solution to the Fermi paradox - every civilization develops “Wake me up before you go go” before achieving interstellar travel.
