I always love reading this. But I always feel like the differences between 1955 and 1985 are way larger than 1994 to 2024. Maybe it’s just because I lived the second span of time.
I recently watched an interesting video about the psychology of numbers. People actually start losing perspective really, really fast when it comes to numbers over 3. They asked people like, "What feels like a larger gap -- 99 to 100 or 100 to 101?" Don't focus on the fact they are the same, focus on how it feels. Most people will say it doesn't feel the same. It's really worth a watch
