It’s been less than a single ~~generation~~ human lifespan since WW2, stop pretending like our species has transcended simply because we can send some 0s and 1s across the world.

There is war. People are dying, and you’re here commenting about free speech and your lack of access to 0s and 1s.

Edit: My usage of the term “generation” was pointed out to be wrong

2022-1945 = 77

Average lifespan in my country = 78.79 years

Seems like it’s one generation to me.

A generation is usually counted as somewhere between 20 and 25 years. As in, enough time for an infant to grow into an adult and then have their own children.

2022-1945 = 77

people give birth around age of 25

    1: the adults in 1945
    2: their babies became parents in 1970
    3: their babies became parents in 1995
    4: the babies of the parents in 1995 are now adults and are giving birth to the next generation
there have been 4 generations since ww2
