You sound young. Old folks that are still competitive are a force to be reckoned with. They are rare in part because people die, but also the things people compete over feel less important with age.
I'm not young. It's simply that my position is informed by biology, cybernetics and study of evolution, rather than fear of death. And this collective "we'll live forever" pat on the back we give each other is just pathetic TBH, feels very reminiscent to the "healthy at every weight" etc. movements, which seek to build a virtual reality that shields us from basic physiological facts.
Entropy is one of the most relentless forces in the universe. If we could so casually turn it around, this world would be unrecognizable.
Have you ever tried to have a real conversation with someone that old? And I don't mean whatever this cryptic rant is, but an actual attempt at connection between adults.
