Might be time to put your life in perspective

Think of that from another perspective.

Assuming human lifetime to be 70 years:

• 0.4 lifetimes ago, the term "smartphone" was first used
• 0.5 lifetimes ago, Internet became a thing
• 1.7 lifetimes ago, first airplane rose in the sky
• 3 lifetimes ago, we got the first Turing-complete computer
• 6 lifetimes ago, we started discovering electricity
• 8 lifetimes ago, Middle Ages came to a close
• 20 lifetimes ago you'd be at the end of what we now as antiquity.
• 75 lifetimes ago you'd be at the beginning of Ancient Egypt and the early Bronze Age.
• 105 lifetimes ago you would witness the beginning of first human civilizations.
• 150 lifetimes ago people invented agriculture
• 4300 lifetimes ago humans as we know them appeared

History is speeding up, and today one human life is enough to witness a change our ancestors wouldn't see in a millennia.

Sure, we are, as always, grains of sand in the desert of eternity, but we are grains that matter. That make a change. Every day.

It took only 8 lives to rise from medieval times to where we are now, and less than one lifetime to transform...everything.

Is this some religious bullshit that I'm too woke to understand?

Both of these pictures are pretty much exactly the same compared to actual infinity/eternity. Entropy might also like to have a word about whether or not eternity is even possible.
