    Imagine living in the year 1900. There is hundreds of years of human literature and art in many languages you can consume.

    Fast forward to the year 2026. There is still all of that art and literature but also there’s everything else that’s being made.

    Humans never went away either, we’re all still out here, we can just talk to each other. Nobody’s stopping us. Humans keep being humans forever and always. Anything beautiful that has existed in humans is still in there.

    You can find more niches and interests in the modern day than anyone ever could’ve known about before, and you can go and talk to all the people who do the same thing.

    Time gives and takes, and it’s really easy to focus on when it takes, but it’s given us so, so much over the years is hard to truly fathom.
