“And within our agreed understanding of time, it does conceptually move faster the older you get, due to repetition, a lack of novelty, the loss of mystique and new experiences…So I, who has experienced far more than someone who is 15, feels that time is moving faster. This, conversely, is why, when we look back to being young, those moments hold more impact for us and have more staying power because they were novel. They were new. Everything we were learning was a new experience, and new experiences slow down time...Now add the internet to that. Add social media to that. Add a cellphone to that. They take out all novel experiences. They present to your consciousness experiences without having to experience them, over and over and over and over again. And now if you were to experience things you’ve seen in real life, they’re less novel. So time continues to move faster.”
