"So, humanity stinks. But, as disturbing as that sounds, this is not the main reason I hate talking about progress. I hate it because I always have this feeling that I’m not keeping up, that I’m in a perennial catch-up mode."

Love the humour. And the analogies. Regarding (financial) charts, there's this saying "When in doubt zoom out." This works in hindsight and tells you that you should have bought Bitcoin in 2000. Anyway, this out-of-sync feeling, it's normal I think, everyone has it, and it goes both ways, behind and ahead, nothing weirder than being the only person talking about something that won't be a "something" for another 10 or 20 years and then when it is something, everyone forgot that you talked about this already 10 years ago.
