What I was looking for, but could not find in the article, is some more information about time perception [1].
It amazes me to no end that time seems to be passing faster and faster now that I grow older. In my youth, 10 minutes used to take ages, but now a month passes in a blink.
If any of you startup guys can find a way to slow this down, I'll buy a subscription.
