When i grow old, to the point i become a burden to my family instead of a pillar that sustains it, i want to have a big, final, goodbye party
And die.
Im a 32 years old man. I took care of my grandparents in their final years together with my sisters. I will likely do the same to my parents. I take care of my daughter, and plan on having 2 more children
People say low birth rates are worrying because there wont be enough young people to take care of the old ones. That is not why i care about it
I care about it because i want humanity to prosper
I want the future to be a bright place where people thrive. I want humanity to colonize the oceans, the poles and the stars. I want the solar system to become a dysson swarm. I want every generation to live better than the previous one
I have a good life. My needs are met. I dont work hard to make my life better. I work hard to make my childrens lives better. Like my parents and grandparents did for me. My children are what give my life meaning
I cant know if i will still think this way when the time comes. But today the goodbye party is my happiest fantasy. I really like imagining me, 60 years from now, with 3 kids, 9 grankids and possibly a few greatgrandkids, saying goodbye to them. My final act, living my values until the last day

open.substack.comWhy when part of a movie or series goes on in latin america you put a yellow lens?
It makes no sense. I find it very strange
Last year, in july, trump declared magnitsky law against brazilian supreme court judge Alexandre de Moraes. This forbade american financial companies from doing businesses with any bank in which Alexandre had an account, and threatened financial relations between both countries
Nothing happened. Alexandre continued having a bank account, and was business as usual between brazil and the US. In december trump removed the sanction
Did american banks just ignore the governments orders and continue doing businesses with brazil like nothing happened? Werent they supposed to face heavy fines for doing so? Did the american government simply not issue the fines, ignoring its own law?
So, i live in a rural area in the mountains. And from my experience, it seems places close to running water are colder. We cant even plant coffee there, because the plants die in the winter
Why is it? Id expect high humidity to cause less temperature swings, because of waters high specific heat capacity, not to lower average temperature
