…that’s me. Human life entails vast potential, especially for our descendants who will command the full power of biotechnology and its interface with computer power.

But we lot missed out on that by a few generations. Maybe many generations.

And I missed out on most things. Very sheltered life, lots of imaginings, not much doings.

There comes a time when we accept our mortality, and it doesn’t frighten us at all. Too many intrusions, not enough enthusiasm to carry on.

I’m just one of the forgotten spawn and it’s unlikely I will leave anything of significance for the future, but I don’t mind.

Never thought she’d be alone this far down the line.

There are some interesting homes for rent for people over 40 and in your price range. Seems the owners of these properties are looking for reliable and long term tenants.

My blues are almost the opposite.

Paralyzed between wanting to do something and not wanting to do anything.

We probably will miss out on biotechnology significantly extending our lifespans but that itself comes with all sorts of problems, paying for our longer lives for example. Could also be a means to enslave people, it costs so much you have to work your entire life to afford it.

The biggest disappointment of dying is you don’t get to see what happens to your family or if the human race grows up and fulfils its potential.
Its why an afterlife as claimed by religion to me seems like an actual punishment (heaven or hell) and not thought out.
