My mom says humans only live to be about eighty years on average. Yeah right. If humans only live that long, how does anyone ever write a good book, or understand history. Or see the world, or experienced true self-knowledge. Think of all the stuff Leonardo did! You think all of that was done in under 80 years? Ha! So how long do people live? Given how confident old people are about politics? 100,000 years, minimum. My grandpa knows the exact year when the country started to go downhill. What a scholar!
