AI AI Captain and
I lost my mom to Parkinson’s this year, so this hit a nerve. My mom never would have done this sort of thing, but as the saying goes, this is the worst it will ever be. I hope I live disease-free long enough to see some significant treatment advancements for neurodegenerative diseases.
You must mourn the loss of your younger self, the person who has gotten you this far but who is no longer equipped to carry you onward.
This really hit, but I like to think that in many ways I am a slightly smarter version of my younger self. I guess for some people there is a greater distance. Or I’m just in denial.
