Anyone who made it through the great depression was pretty desensitized to change and trauma.

3/4 of my grandparents.

They were born between 1915 and 1919 or so.

First one died in the late 90's, one in the early to mid 00's, then the last two made it to like 2017.

I had a great grandmother who was born in 1906 and died in 2007. She was born before WW1 and the sinking of the Titanic.

My paternal grandmother lived from 1915-2009

She was a mixed race woman from rural Oklahoma who lived in Kansas City for her final 57 years. Considering that neither of her parents could vote at the time of her birth (remember, Native Americans weren't "granted" United States citizenship until the mid 1920s) and she died when a Black man was president and his most prominent subordinate a woman, you could say that some things changed quite a bit in her 94 years and 3 months of life.

It's entirely possible that some people on this board will. I'll be living until 2089, so that's just 11 years short.

yep, we can't sustain this much progress in a short amount of time
We suffer from the delusion that the entire universe is held in order by the categories of human thought.

How would you use drugs for time travel? Is that like those old Batman comics where he would time travel via hypnosis?

lots of people talk about lsd, specifically the remote viewing experiments the CIA did, which supposedly allowed people to see into different times someone posted a declassified section of one here a few months ago

anyway, mostly I was just curious what time travel, kind of meant
