How long do we have? How many weeks more? I read Oliver Burkeman’s 4000 weeks when it came out in 2021, during the pandemic. Yes, from the time we are born and if we were to live till 80 we will have lived a little over 4000 weeks. I turned fifty that year and found that I only had 1500 weeks left. 4000 felt less … Continue reading Our Limitedness
