#33if you feel pretty much the same every day, you're either a psychopath, or you're not doing anything worth caring about.
Dude that's really callous. There are many people that are taking drugs that make them feel the same everyday

#34Way too optimistic. Here, all rectangles look similar, but actually, quality of life in bottom rectangles deteriorates rapidly, medical expenses are skyrocketing, and basically everything sucks.
You could possibly say the same thing about quality of life in the beginning. Lots of necessary medical care, making your parent's lives miserable, can't get up and make a sandwich, higher likelihood of death [1], etc.

Well, the latter is simply not true, and if it is the former I hardly see how it would pose a problem. Not that you're in a position to make such a diagnosis.

#37A good friend of mine has a 365x100 rectangle on his (high res) display. As a reminder that it is small, yet he has less days in his life than pixels in this rectangle. And every day spent not on a worthwhile project is a great loss.
A modern, sobering memento mori, I would say.

#39I immediately began marking some memories of my early teen, a period when I remembered being genuinely happy (memories of growing up in Central Africa with my heroic elder brothers). But then I began marking several squares in my late teens for doing things I regretted. I marked a few squares in my mid twenties for doing things I regretted. I marked more in my early thirties for things I regretted. All dumb shit, nothing serious.
I was about to mark a few more blocks towards the end of my thirties too for things I regretted ... I had by then realised that I was one colossal self-bashing negative joy-sapping son of a bitch. How do I stop this self-criticism, dear lord?
Nice tool! Maybe it can be modified to aid psychotherapy.

#40this is amazing. It so clearly shows the human aging process and why 27 is the hardest year/color. But if you survive it, you break on through to the next color. I think around 87 there is another tough year.
