Take your shot

Alex does the math on his own life: at the US average lifespan of 78, he figures he has about 25 productive years left, then makes the case that your real midpoint lands around 20, not 50, once you factor in lifespan medians and time perception.

It's like, but you're way past the halfway point. The median lifespan in the US, at least the last time I checked was 74, maybe it's 78. But that means your middle age around 37 or 39, not 50. And here's the real kicker [music] is that if you adjust for our decreased perception of time as we go, most of us remember when you're 5 years old, a year takes forever. When you're when you're 30, it takes less time than that. And I would imagine when you talk to 80-year-olds, they're like, it takes even less time than that.
