as of several weeks ago, i am now the same age as my father when he died.

it encourages a certain perspective on mortality, and encourages me to ride my motorcycle faster.

Well done Icarus. You are an inspiration.
There are always things to learn.

But I see that old age has been redefined.
You were suddenly old when reaching 60.
I had this confirmed to me by a doctor.
So I walked the length of England to prove I could still do it.

The new definition of age:
Young old age is 65 to 74.
Middle old age is 75 to 84.
Old old age starts at 85.

I'll get to know his works better.
His wisdom is better than any religious script.

Quote from: Icarus on February 08, 2025, 12:26:30 AMThe man who wants to die at 75 has a misleading notion. he asserts that people past 75 can no longer be productive and do not contribute, etc.

Bullshit ! I am 94, can and I still do work, create things mechanical,sometimes muster the strength and wisdom to help a younger person, volunteer at math tutoring classes, and a few other useful things. Mr. Emanuel has my blessing if he wishes to take the gas pipe.

What the hell, I am still learning things and will continue in that quest as long as I can.

I plan to work until I keel over. I have no hope that U.S. Social Security will still be solvent when I get to "retirement age." Especially with Elon Musk now with his thumbs in the Treasury Dept's pudding.

Love me some Tina Turner. She went to hell and back and told the tale.

the truth is out

QuoteTasks for Musk: President Donald Trump said he's directed Elon Musk to review "just about everything" in the US federal government, including the Pentagon and education spending. At a news conference with Japan's prime minister, Trump also said he would continue to have relations with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in his second term.
