#42Yup. Almost there!
Hey bud, I'm not too far. Can I sit next to you? We can throw crumbs & seeds for the birds together.
Re: Your Life
#43Crazy to think how many people will get up tomorrow morning and hate the outlook of their day. To me that is insane and something that future generations will look back on in awe.

#44A 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.

I like that!

Does anybody really values days of life based only on the "projects"?

#45HTML infographic inspired by Tim Urban's Life Calendar[1]. Made this after seeing his TED talk[2]. [1] http://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/life-weeks.html [1] https://www.ted.com/talks/tim_urban_inside_the_mind_of_a_mas...
Just watched his talk literally last night and ordered the same poster :) Thanks for sharing!

Maybe they'll also wonder why our generation so easily judges others instead of looking inward first?

Because in their death bed one often says "I wish I worked on more worthwhile projects"?

#48Ahh yeah, this is from Tim Urban's Your Life in Weeks post [0], and way before Tim discovered and wrote his awesome posts about the AI Revolution [1] and cryonics.... I guess he knows now that 90 might actually be quite short sighted.
So, I'm forking and adding the estimated date where we trascend from humans to cloud-beings (around 2045, Kurzweil's™ prediction) [2]...

Re: Your Life
#49if you feel pretty much the same every day, you're either a psychopath, or you're not doing anything worth caring about.
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.
>Well, the latter is simply not true
Assuming it is, though, how would one know whether they are or not?
>I hardly see how it would pose a problem
Being unable to feel a variety of emotions and feeling the same each day can indeed be problem -- an indication of incomplete emotional development / functioning -- which can affect many parts of life, most importantly decision making, relationships, etc.
Of course the web can't make the diagnosis, but an expert can, given an examination.
Of course you might also be saying it lightly, e.g. feel "more or less" the same everyday, as opposed to always exactly the same, and given that nothing especially nice or bad has happened to you and those you know all this time.
