(A reflective species must work at being present… unlike πππ¦Ί)
Do you ever feel like time is moving faster?
Here's why.
When we're young, everything is new. The brain records each moment in rich detail, creating more "memory markers," which make time feel full.
As we get older, the brain gets efficient. It groups repeated experiences together—less novelty, fewer memories, and time seems to collapse.
The antidote?
Each act of intentional presence slows life down again.
