Summary

This quote highlights the significant increase in average life expectancy over the course of one century.

Our brains have likely not evolved or developed the capacity to fully comprehend or adjust to the longer lifespan we now experience. This prompts speculation about the potential challenges and complexities associated with the modern-day reality of living longer lives.
