In this Lex Fiedman video, they talk about how life is short, and a visualization as a spreadsheet is shown that makes one very concerned:

Pieter Levels: Programming, Viral AI Startups, and Digital Nomad Life | Lex Fridman Podcast #440 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFtjKbXKqbg [ironically, the podcast is very long - over 3 hours - speaking of not wasting time, but after initial annoyance I'm glad I watched it all.]

The positive insight that can come out of that is use every week and don't waste it, and and if you can, move your long-term dreams closer to the here and now.

I made a version of that spreadsheet for "the rest of my life" to hand it into my office as a reminder. (Even if I will live until 90, it fits my laptop screen without scrolling...)

Should everyone make it? On one hand it’s awareness, on another- at cause endless anxiety that you now visualised how little it is and still can’t do anything..

Where can I find the visualization? Skipping through I could not find it and I am not sold on it enough to spend almost 4 hours on this.

Do you mind pointing out the Moment when they show this?
