   #APConf also did a good job of making me "feel time passing"

   I was relaying an example about how we have to be careful about how not to panic after a bad event, because we might take actions because "we have to do something" but which have effects that are hard to undo. I borrowed an analogy @emacsen had provided me with the passing of the Patriot Act after 9/11, and then I realized that most of the people I was talking to either were too young to remember that or weren't alive (!!) for it

     @cwebber @emacsen The older I get, the younger everyone else seems to get.
