One of my personal inspirations in this vein is a man I met named Daniel about 8 years ago.
He retired as a military physicist around the age of 70, but hated retirement. Started a full undergrad at 78 years old in fine arts at the Ontario College of Art and Design. Finished at 82 and when I met him a few years after that he was spending all his time building conceptual art pieces in his workshop.
He knew how to live.
I enjoy what a wise cracker said to me yesterday:
"Humanity is stone age hardware running bronze age software with atomic age technology."
No clue who wrote it which seems appropriate, somehow.
HOW does something like this get approved? All that time and money wasted, when all you would need is one individual who requires support that would emphatically tell you in a heartbeat that this approach will not work.
Wonder if Morris has any self-awareness, 'cause what a ghoul. Maybe he should talk to an AI about it.
When it looks like you’re trying to hot rod your circular saw.

You know, nothing's perfect and in any community there are going to be flaws and work needed to improve things, especially in transition periods. That never stops.
Having said that? I f***ing love the fediverse. I'm so glad to be here. I love that I can learn from someone nerding out about gardening, birds, art, medieval history, who knows - it's always a surprise! - and the vast majority of the folks are looking to share their joys rather than tear other people down. You people rock.
