Good point, that's the other way to see it. But think of people that have been through war, rape and famine?

You are right a vast majority of people would become completely apathetic to anything happening around them, similar to how we feel about things happening on other continent sometimes.

I'll make a note you and I discuss this in 800 years and see who's right?

Our bodies regenerate every cell about every 7 years, so those memories would likely seem like other people’s problems at some point.
