Two years gone in the proverbial 'blink of an eye' - That's what's truly scary!

And it accelerates every year.

you're complaining about two years? ... the last two decades have gone in a flash!

 

Could we agree eventually on half of a century?

Exactly, half a century seems like yesterday, but I can't remember what I did yesterday.

Indeed! A mighty invoulute is the perception of our years

100 years and we are still not a better species.

 

100 years and we are still not a better species.

The real question in my mind, is what happened years ago to spawn the "enlightened age" beginning about three to five thousand years ago.

That is, Neanderthals and early humans co-existed long before that. What genetic change happened to separate us definitively and allow us to build such monuments as the Great Pyramids or the Great Wall?

Whatever it was, we are still on the leading edge.

But then 100 years is a vanishingly trivial interval of time...

Perhaps genetics is nothing to do with it? -- FWIW I maintain that sophistication of language --even if fortuitous-- is the 'dance partner' that brought us! -- A pleasant perspective indeed inasmuch as it distinguishes us from mere animals -- And really? Who will gainsay that 'upbringing' far exceeds heredity as regards who each of us become?
