When you’re about to wrap eve­ry­thing up

Ano­ther year is coming to an end. Let’s think about that. I think about what a year can represent. In recent years, time seems to have gone by qui­cker. Some stu­dies, I’ll let you Google them if you’re inter­es­ted, touch on seve­ral aspects, but some are still worth mentioning.

The com­plexi­ty of the brain. That seems pret­ty inter­es­ting to me. Although it requires cross-com­pa­ri­sons, in other words, tes­ting people with real brain com­plexi­ties ver­sus other “simple” people, both of a simi­lar age and health condi­tion. Com­plexi­ty would make us absorb infor­ma­tion more slow­ly. A bit like how a wine connois­seur would savour eve­ry mole­cule of liquid com­pa­red to someone else who wouldn’t be able to dis­tin­guish wine from grape juice.

Ano­ther point would be age, of course. The older we get, the slo­wer our brain would be in pro­ces­sing “rea­li­ty”, which would make time pass fas­ter because we “lose part of the way”.

And last but not least, and pay atten­tion, it is all in the fine details, some­thing that I would call won­der vs wea­ri­ness. Our brain would pro­cess expe­riences and images that we see more inten­se­ly when we expe­rience them the first time. This would be why if you were to take a trip to the same place twice, the first time would seem “lon­ger” than the second.
