The Illusions of Time vsauce video (cw: morality, death, philosophy)
Watching this video right now and it real put some things in perspective for me that kinda blew my mind https://youtu.be/zHL9GP_B30E
The gist of my takeaway so far: time, death, and social isolation are all deeply linked at a core emotional level, and wow does that explain A Lot.

@mawr I'd already felt much of this, but this solidifes it in ways I can more consciously act on. Thank you!
You see it in isolation, I see it in the 'extremely online' he brings up near the end.
Though that part about about being as old as your parents were in a given time? Crosses my mind on multiple occasions. Like one foolish-enough decision and I could've had adult offspring by now, even been a grandparent. (And as someone who still gets carded on occasion that's really kind of a brainfuck)
TBH I kinda go the other way around. My 30s feel slower, my 20s were kind of a hindsight blur, but that's because a lot of my 20s fucking draaaaaaagged.
@mawr huh, that was a good-ass video essay.
Never actually watched vsauce before.
@starkatt Y'know he's actually really worth watching sometimes!
Their video on counting past Infinity is really good too:

And if you have the premium YouTube service, the series "Mind Field" is pretty great tbh.
