1 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: Hey, and welcome to the short stuff. I should say 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,479 Speaker 1: Happy New Year and welcome to the short stuff, Chuck. 3 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,719 Speaker 1: It's it is. We're living in the future. Yes, well, 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: I'm Josh and there's Chuck, and there is guest producer 5 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: jj over there, and we're all living in the future. 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 1: Time flying. I've got my jet pack, flying car sweet 7 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:26,720 Speaker 1: uh and yeah, times flying, Chuck, do you know why 8 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: it's flying? Hold on him about you see this pill 9 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: on my plate, about to add water to it to 10 00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: make it into a Thanksgiving dinner. Oh I thought it 11 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 1: was a pot roast dinner. Yeah, exactly. It always was 12 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,200 Speaker 1: pot roast, wasn't it. Yeah, it really is. But Thanksgiving 13 00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 1: this a close second for sure as far as future 14 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 1: food pills go. Okay, I just had it delicious? Was 15 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: it didn't didn't have any kind of blueberry dessert like 16 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: Willy Wonka. Yeah, that was a compote. So um, you 17 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: said something. You said time flies or times flying. I 18 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: agreed time flying, And then I asked to you why 19 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 1: time is flying. You didn't answer, so I'm gonna answer 20 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:09,720 Speaker 1: for you. It's because we're aged. Yes, we're getting old, Chuck, 21 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: as anyone who has ever gotten old nose the older 22 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: you get, the faster time goes. Where you're just your 23 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: you're working, working, working, and you lift your head up 24 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,960 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, it's March, and then it's July, 25 00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: and then it's the holidays, and then it's the next 26 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: March and then the next July pretty much, and you 27 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 1: start to get a little panicky because you're like, wait 28 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: a minute, wait a minute, these these years are important. 29 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: You know, I need to pay attention to them. But uh, 30 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 1: everybody knows that as you're when you're grown up, you 31 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 1: have so many more responsibilities than when your kid. Of course, 32 00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 1: time's gonna fly. The thing is there there seems to 33 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: be objective evidence that time actually does speed up as 34 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: you age relative to your experience, Like subjectly, you experienced 35 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: time moving faster as you age, and that doesn't quite 36 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,960 Speaker 1: make sense. Yeah, and there's um this has always been 37 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: an interesting, uh concept to wrap my head around, because 38 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 1: it's definitely something that you cannot avoid noticing as you 39 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: get a little older. Uh. There was one study done 40 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 1: I thought this was kind of interesting in the nineties. 41 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,280 Speaker 1: A psychologist named Peter man gun Man Man gun You 42 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 1: butchered that Peter mangan there you go, and he had 43 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: twenty five young people between nine and then fifteen older 44 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,640 Speaker 1: people between sixty and eighty. I'm sorry real quick. I 45 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,839 Speaker 1: also saw that he had some middle aged people too, 46 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,119 Speaker 1: but go ahead, I would think, so, yeah, because that's 47 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 1: a big jump. Yeah. Uh to estimate a three minute 48 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: time interval just by counting out loud, yeah, So he said, hey, you, 49 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: sixteen year old, count out three minutes second by second 50 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: by going one one thousand, two, one thousand, right, And 51 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: so the younger sat at averaged three minutes and three seconds. 52 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: They kind of nailed it. He went over to the 53 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: older set, he woke them up and they would hey, 54 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,519 Speaker 1: what uh, three minutes and forty seconds is what they average. 55 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: So they were off by thirty seven seconds from the 56 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: younger set, and you know, basically thinking that three minutes 57 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: had elapsed. And the thinking here is is that, hey, 58 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: your brain's internal clock runs slowly if you're older, right, right, So, 59 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: and that would mean that if your if your internal 60 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: clock is running more slowly relative to the actual passage 61 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: of time, then to you it would seem like time 62 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 1: is speeding up because what you're counting off is way 63 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 1: slower than what's actually going on. Which would account for 64 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: why UM it would seem like time speeds up as 65 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: we get older, because it actually is relative to our 66 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: own internal clocks. Yeah, and there's a few ideas behind this. UM. 67 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: One is that um our biological internal clocks do slow down. 68 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: Our metabolism slows down. Are breathing our heartbeat. Um. I 69 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: listened to my daughter's heart beat the other day. I 70 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: put my ear door chest because she did the same 71 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: to me, and her heart was going and we were 72 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: just hanging out and she listened to mine and it 73 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: was like pooop beat and it wheezed and farted between 74 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: every beat. That's great, made like a cranky gear sound. Yeah. 75 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 1: So and I heard hers and I was like, did 76 00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: you just run a sprint? Like what is going on? 77 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: And that really hit me, Like it's different when you're 78 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: a little kid. Yeah. Kids, metabolisms are way faster. Their 79 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: bodies are just operating way faster. And then as you age, 80 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: all of these processes start to kind of level off 81 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: and then slow down or death basically the exit ramp. 82 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 1: That's another way to put it. UM. But the the 83 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: idea behind this is that there's this internal clock, not 84 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: our circadian rhythm. Which is, you know, how we know 85 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: when to to like wake up or eat or that 86 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: kind of stuff. This is at a separate internal clock 87 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 1: that we actually measure time with, and it's theoretical. We've 88 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: never found it, but they think that it's located in 89 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: this dry atom in the midbrain, and that it uses 90 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,159 Speaker 1: internal and external cues to measure time. And one of 91 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: the internal cues that it uses is something like heartbeat 92 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 1: or breaths. And so if you're a kid and you're 93 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: breathing faster and your heart's beating faster, time seems to 94 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,720 Speaker 1: pass more slowly because your clock is speeded up. It's 95 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 1: the exact opposite of what would happen if those breaths 96 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: in those heartbeats slow down as you age, and your 97 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: your clock slows down, So it seems like time is 98 00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:01,080 Speaker 1: speeding rather than going slowly. Yeah, there's another idea. I mean, 99 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: there's a lot to then it's it's probably all of 100 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 1: these things combined. Well, yeah, a lot of them do 101 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: have to do with this brain's internal clock thing. Yeah, absolutely. Um. 102 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: The another idea is that a child has so many 103 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: new experiences every day. You know, you hear about a 104 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 1: kid being a sponge and everything is brand new. And 105 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: as you know, you get to our age and you 106 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: have a job, and you live in a house and 107 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: you have a certain commute, and you do certain things 108 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 1: and you're walking the dog. It's like it's a repetitive um. 109 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: In many cases, it's a repetitive circumstance of doing the 110 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: same things over and over and over. So there's no 111 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: newness there, and so all those new experiences aren't happening 112 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: to us like they're happening to children. Uh, this one. 113 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: I wonder if you did a test where you only 114 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: experience new things still as an adult as if you 115 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: were a child, if that would counter the time is 116 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 1: flying effect. You would think it would. I don't know 117 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: how you would test that, but you know that theory 118 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: says probably yeah for sure. Plus also would be like, whatever, 119 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: whatever you're doing to test this, I want to do 120 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: because that sounds like a lot of fun. But it's 121 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 1: the idea is that you have, like all of these, 122 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:18,640 Speaker 1: it requires more brain processing to to process these novel 123 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: stimuli rather than just letting life pass you by because 124 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: it's all familiar and so kind of in the same 125 00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: way that your heart's beating faster and you're breathing more. 126 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: It um makes your clock run faster, and so time 127 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: seems to pass more slowly. It's basically the same thing, 128 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: but rather than heartbeat, it's it's processing new experience. And 129 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: that also really kind of ties into this other thing 130 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: that you do notice, in addition to time passing more 131 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: quickly when you age, is that it's easy to just 132 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: kind of be in a rut as you age, too, 133 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: because there are so so fewer experiences that are just 134 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 1: brand new to you. It's done it, seen it, done it, 135 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,880 Speaker 1: all right, let's take a break, let's go do something new, 136 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: and uh, we'll come back and see how that feels. 137 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: Right after this things, I feel great. I feel like 138 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: I'll never never be able to replicate that. We shouldn't 139 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: even bother telling people about it, because I don't think 140 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: anybody could ever do it. That's right, Okay. So one 141 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: thing I did want to mention was the notion of uh. 142 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: And this is something I've noticed from being a kid 143 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 1: to being an adult. If you drive to a vacation, 144 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: uh as h it always seemed as a kid like 145 00:08:55,200 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: getting to the vacation happened really fast. Is maybe you're 146 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,520 Speaker 1: excited about things you were gonna do or no, no, no. 147 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,559 Speaker 1: It seemed super slow when you were a kid because 148 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: the anticipation, uh, and driving on the way home went 149 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 1: super fast. That is reversed for me as an adult 150 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 1: is when I drive to a vacation, it goes pretty 151 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: fast because I'm super excited. Um, But on the way 152 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,959 Speaker 1: home it's a slog, right because you know you're coming 153 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: back to a recording session with me. No, not that, 154 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: but it's weird there a switch happens at some point. Yeah, 155 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: and I think that has to do with the same well, 156 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: some of these theories suggest that has to do with 157 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: the same thing you you are. Um. Actually that that 158 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: would be kind of new and on its own huh. Yeah. 159 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: I think it sort of flies in the face of 160 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: that a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, because yeah, I don't 161 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,719 Speaker 1: know what the what the answer is, I'm not even 162 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: an adventure I guess all right, what about um? This 163 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: guy Steve Taylor, who wrote a book called Making Time, 164 00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:00,840 Speaker 1: He he has a theory that basically, um, because we 165 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 1: become more familiar with everything as we go by, not 166 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: only are there fewer experiences new experiences to be had, 167 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: but the experiences that we have over and over again 168 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:16,199 Speaker 1: become so familiar to us they barely even register when 169 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: they do happen, which makes time seem to pass even 170 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: more quickly because we're processing less new information. It kind 171 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:28,000 Speaker 1: of ties into that, um that that brain processing one. 172 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 1: It's just it just kind of really drives home how 173 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: grim adulthood is. Yeah, and could be aided by the 174 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: fact that you're not getting as many dopamine hits because 175 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 1: this novel stimuli is not coming along as often, right, 176 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 1: So that all ties back into that brain clock thing 177 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: again too, which is the idea that um, when we 178 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 1: when are that part of our mid brain is learning 179 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 1: to to measure time. As it's doing that, it gets 180 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 1: little hits a dopamine to help train it. Well, they 181 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 1: found that your hits of dopamine decrease as you age, 182 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 1: which also kind of correlates with the idea that time 183 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 1: seems to um go faster as we age and our 184 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,200 Speaker 1: biological clocks seem to start to run slower. So they 185 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: think that maybe that that we us getting less dopamine 186 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:17,240 Speaker 1: is part of that that internal clock slowing down thing. Uh, 187 00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: the thing that makes a lot of sense to me, 188 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 1: and we're not going to get two in the weeds 189 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: with what logar rhythmic scales are. But let's just say this. 190 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 1: If you measure an earthquake on the Richter scale, that's 191 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: a logarhythmic scale, and it's not the same as a 192 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 1: linear scale. So if you jump from ten to eleven 193 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: on the Richter scale, it's like a tenfold jump, it's 194 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: not a ten percent jump. Uh is that good enough 195 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: for that? I think so? Yeah, So I think this, Uh, 196 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: this can apply to life. And this one makes a 197 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 1: lot of sense because if you are a ten year old, 198 00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: then you've experienced uh, one year is ten percent of 199 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: your life, So that's a big chunk. But by the 200 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 1: time you get to twenty, it's only five percent. And 201 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: we could keep going here, and it just gets more 202 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 1: and more depressing as you go. But they basically are 203 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: saying you should think of it in terms of this 204 00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: logarithmic scale as opposed to a linear scale, because by 205 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: the time you get to you know, sixty seventy eight 206 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: years old, that's a big chunk of your life. Uh, 207 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,640 Speaker 1: that's gone by at that point, right, And so any 208 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: new amount of time that goes by is proportional to 209 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: the increasingly larger amount of time that has gone by. 210 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: And so if that's how we process and measure the 211 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: time in our lifetime, then the longer you're alive, the 212 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,200 Speaker 1: longer it takes to seem like a lot of time 213 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:40,439 Speaker 1: has passed by. Like this guy, Um Christian Yates from 214 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 1: University of Bath. He said, the reason why the summer 215 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,560 Speaker 1: lasted so long, or it took so long too for 216 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: a birthday to come and in a new one to 217 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: come is that that year, if you're like five, like 218 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: you're saying, that's like a fifth of your life. One 219 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: year is a fifth of your life. If you're fifty, 220 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 1: one year is a fiftie of your life. So a 221 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 1: year can just start to zip by and zip by 222 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 1: and faster and faster the more you age. And he 223 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: ended with something um, he wrote a good article in 224 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: the conversation, so shout out to him for that one. 225 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: But he he basically said, for you to experience what 226 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,000 Speaker 1: seems to you is the same amount of time between 227 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: the ages of five and ten, would require you to 228 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: live from age forty to age eighty, depressing proportionately speaking, 229 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 1: it would be the same suggestion subjective experience of time 230 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 1: for you. Yeah, because occasionally I will think like, let's 231 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: say I got twenty more great years left, and then 232 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 1: I think that's not much time. But then I think 233 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:49,600 Speaker 1: man from birth to age twenty was forever. Yeah. Uh 234 00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: so I'm good, but that's not how it works. Yeah, 235 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 1: because forty seemed to zip by a lot faster than 236 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 1: zero to twenty. Yeah, absolutely, Yeah. I think I think 237 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: they're onto something with that last one. All right, so 238 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 1: I'm thoroughly depressed. Now I am too. Let's go celebrate, buddy. Actually, 239 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: we don't need to be depressed. We need to take 240 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 1: this as motivation to go really pay attention and be 241 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: grateful for this year. Then live life. Well, let's do it, 242 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 1: all right, Short stuff out Stuff you Should Know is 243 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,400 Speaker 1: a production of iHeart Radios How Stuff Works.
