I had the same realization a few years ago and it horrified me. Is it gonna keep getting faster?


Extrapolating from my own case time seems to have doubled in speed from 5 to in my 30's, if that doubles when im 70, then when im 100 it's 8 times as fast, wow.

I wonder what that would mean for life extension, imagine this exponential - then you'll get very little effect from living past 200 years:

Pretty interesting thought experiment.
