You Get 85 Years on a 4.6-Billion-Year-Old Planet

You get roughly 85 years on a planet that has existed for about 4.6 billion.So what exactly are we doing panicking about turning 30?In this episode of So You’re Living in a Simulation, @joli.artist explores the nature of time, aging, mortality, and the astonishingly brief human lifespan when measured against deep time.The conversation moves through reincarnation, eternity, synchronicity, consciousness, the Dead Internet Theory, AI, the concept of a universal mind, scarcity, and the strange assumptions human beings inherit about age, value, and reality itself.If we have lived before, why don’t we remember what we were worried about? If consciousness is individual, why does reality sometimes appear to produce clusters of meaningful patterns? If everything else in nature moves through cycles, why are we so certain that human existence happens only once?And if an 85-year life is barely a flicker against 4.6 billion years of Earth history, perhaps we should be considerably less obedient to arbitrary timelines about what our lives are supposed to look like.A philosophical wander through time, consciousness, reincarnation, mortality, synchronicity, and the very strange business of being temporarily human.Joliartist.com/portal
