I’m 30 now, having a hard time looking at the next 40-50 and thinking I want that. Definitely not 90

Are you suicidal? Longer life does not mean living as a cripple, we can extend our health if we research more. And exercise and lower calorie diet seems to improve health a lot. A 70 year old who exercises and eats lightly will be healthier than a 30yr who eats like an American and drives without walking much.

I'm close to your age and I'm excited for the next 40-50 years. It often surprises me when I get perspectives like yours. I have to remember people have different opinions on things I take for granted.

We can have a tendency to project our views onto everyone else and assume everyone thinks the same thing. False consensus effect

I think people are fundamentally different because of some stuff that happened in childhood. There are people who are negative about the past and positive about the future. I fall into this.

There are others that are positive about the past and negative about the future. Maybe you're here.
