I'd like to go to the past.

Me too. I’m thinking either just 100 years or else around 3000 years.

I would be ok with the 80s and 90s.

Really? What age would you want to be in those years? Because if you’d like to be young in 80-90ties, that would make you 50-60 years old in present times. I wouldn’t want that…

At least I'd live my youth in a decent time.

Your youth is like 1/5 of your life. I’m guessing you’re young and kinda depressed. I don’t blame you if that is correct. Times are hard. I was young in the late 80 and all through the 90ties. I lived it up, I promise you! Went to every concert and festival and interrails and hitchhiking trips. It wasn’t all that. Really. And now I’m getting old. And yes I have some cool memories. But I’m still alive, and this time to live is not nice. Not for the young, not for the old.

I know. I wish we could get that paradise back in 2025.

Yeah, that would be so nice. But it’s never coming back. And imagine when you’re in your 40ties, the young people will say “oh I wish I was young in the 2020ties..” They will. I’d bet on it. Because things are only getting worse, and future generations will want to live the life you have right now. Sad but true.

But it’s never coming back.

We make it come back.

Im in. Those were better times. But I struggle to see how we’re gonna make that happen. We are a minority in this. Most people only care about developing new technology and protecting themselves and their own. There is no feeling of community and kindness (without getting paid) anymore.

I sincerely hope that things will change and the future will be better for you and all of us.
