The world has changed again. So have I. So what?
As I’m writing this it’s January 2026. We tend to think, that previous world events tend to be less relevant, than our current situation. We also have a vision, that events and changes tend to happen at an ever increasing pace. And yet it’s always just today and at the moment you’re reading this there’s probably not that much going on.
What’s more you might be even bored as you’re reading these words. So is the tempo really increasing? Do you really need to adapt at an increasing pace?
IS IT YOU SLOWING DOWN?
Obviously there is a second option, which is counterintuitive and harder to accept. The world hasn’t sped up, you’re adapting slower and slower as you age.
Surely the first version is much more comfortable. It doesn’t require you to accept a different identity and demand more effort to combat the decrease of metabolism and life force in an older body.
