You will have, if you're lucky, 500,000 conscious hours in this Universe: 85 years, 2/3 spent awake.
How much of that time can you devote to others?
2 people: 250k hours each.
20: 25k
200: 2.5k
2,000: 250
20,000: 25 -- just over a day.
200k: 2.5
2 million: 15 minutes. Andy Warhol's truism is Small World only.
20 m: 1.5 minutes
200 m: 9 seconds
2 billion: 0.9 seconds
8 billion: 0.225 seconds
If someone devotes a quarter second to you, you're getting more than your share.
I wrote an essay on love as ideology, it begins with:
"Why do so many authoritarians on Twitter have anime girl avatars?"
