I humbly give the finger to the idiots who downvoted this. Reflects your elitism and easy priveleged life with no idea of what its like to live elsewhere other than where you grew up.

No wonder, valley is full of bullies who just did 10000 hours of practise but 0 hours of being human.

for someone starting out with their first github project, one would appreciate your comment.. although one may be 100% OK for their work to be the subject of any rational analysis, it is worthwhile to know the constructive motive behind such discussion and thereby even criticism may encourage more future contributions (moving far from being the last project).

+1 for being vocal

Thanks for the reply!

I am going to give it a sincere try.. Hope I can find some grip in climbing anything that is steep (whether its Anki itself or my other goals).. I guess motivation in itself is another trainable skill..

Will be nice if you can give a glimpse of your experience.

Yes, imagine the world before penicillin and after it. They are not the same.

> "With increased lifespan, expect increased specialization."

This is an interesting point. "Advancement" doesn't mean the fields are only getting narrower. Advancement means having to deal with increasing number of multi-disciplinary fields. So, the expectancy of convergence is positive.

With marginal increase of lifespan one may only see specialization. But if one dares to imagine a 1.5x to 2x lifespan, the meaning of "time" will change.

All economical decisions are also subconsciously factoring lifespan, with a mental model of "division by time" to see if something is worth that fraction of their life.

The imbalance created by say a 1.5x or 2x rise in lifespan will surely make way for more scientific enlightenment of masses.

Edit: corrected word "Specialization" into "Advancement"

When science achieves quantifiable improvements to average human lifespan, our take on life too will change.
