Born too late to discover new continents, born too early to explore the universe.

You won’t die from a small cut or bad diarrhea. At least we’re in the age of modern medicine

I always wish I had been born in the 1870s to 90s.
Just the right time to see humanity in its raw form and experience technology/modernity as an adult

Homo sapiens have lived about 12,000 generations.
I feel I got pretty lucky to have timed been born when mankind advanced enough to figure out how things in space work and land on the moon.

I kind of imagine it like 200 years ago people saying "man I was born too early, in the distant future people might be flying in the air".
I bet if we lived during that time we would view space travel as mundane and common occurrence, kind of how we view modern aircraft now.
