So one effect of the personality change is everything I knew I now know as if I knew from like, one generation ago

For one thing that means that all the karate I learned (this generation) is now something I’ve known since before I could walk

For two its really weird dealing with like, historical memory, like, ‘Nam was still twitching as an issue when I was young, POW-MIA flags and limbless guys and assumed distrust of the government and all, and it’s weird now parsing that a generation further removed, gets me a sense where zoomers are (except I first processed Iraq II/the Sandbox wars through post-Vietnam cynicism and not dashed idealism)
