That's wild. As it is inevitable we readers will be among them I sometimes think 'damn, born too early to be granted immortality by technology'.
Then I remember there's no guarantee humans will ever be immortal. The world might end, technology may just not get there, etc.
And I think, this might just be the best it ever gets - certainly is true for me, we're alive right now but will never be again - but for all we know, as naive a thought it is: this may be the best it ever gets for humanity too.
And we'll not ever know any different.
Does anyone else think that way?! Without sounding like I'm trying to reboot 'YOLO'.
I find it a soothing, encouraging thought. Live it well!
