Do you ever think that we all live our lives backward, nowadays?

I'm finally almost-free of my biggest responsibilities and I'm relaxing and having fun, but everyone thinks it's really terrible and undignified for a woman my age to be having fun. They tell me that having fun is for young, carefree women and I should be serious and matronly now.

I hardly spent any time as a young, carefree woman, tho. They were having fun without me.

Seems like a Fiat mindset. Back in 1919 someone wrote an article saying that the world was too fast and there was never enough time!

Perhaps you have the fatherly attitude, "my kids are out there somewhere and I'm not too worried about them".

I have good kids. They're actually sort of boring, tho, so I'm glad if they go have some fun.

Bitcoin gives us back our time. I've been reading Indistractible by Nir Eyal. It basically says that people who are distracted with social media and TV, it's not the distractions that are the problem, it is that they don't have their priorities straight. I bet those same people watch a lot of TV.

Picture is a page from the book.
