AI-generated narration using a synthesized version of Timi's voice
Kids grow up thinking change will happen in their lifetime. Getting older and realising this won't be the case for a lot of problems that have existed all your life can be quite the downer. That desire to want change in your lifetime is good because it inspires you to keep moving. But with certain problems, it's unrealistic. I think appreciating the scale & history of a problem gives two things:
- Humility.
- Can help you figure out how to be effective. "What are the most effective things I can do with my relatively short lifetime?"
