Mountain ranges take millions of years to form (15-20 million) for Japan, yet you drive around and see them right there in front of you. It’s hard to grasp the time scales involved and just how little time we’ve been around. Humans have existed only for 0.27% of the time it took to form Japan and 0.01% of total geological history.
Imagine what 1% looks like 🤨
This is a good take!
Haha, yeah. If you think bitcoiners are low time preference, try going to a geology convention 😆
Nothing brings out the inner nihilist like those people do.
Our sense of time is so bad
Eg mountains as you say
But also eg paying rent for 12 months. Omg that looks like a lot, but it’s so hard to calculate in 12 months how wealthy you will be or feel, and often that economic calculation is wrong
Long duration plus compounding totally cooks us!
I would have loved to run around Pangea
