Interesting stuff. What I find most surprising is that even after reading the article I find it difficult to imagine a future self which differs significantly from who I am now. I think it might be easier for me to imagine a different person entirely, and then think of how I might become that person, and the timeframe involved in those events. Because trying to predict an internal change seems nearly impossible.

May I ask how old you are now?

Is that allowed here? 23.

I'm not sure, that's why I asked. I figure age would determine how a person thought of their future self and with how you responded, I figured you'd be in your 20s.

Yup. Still a baby!

I'm right there with you, I just turned 21 yesterday.

And you can function today!? You might wanna try turning 21 again ;)

Oh, I definitely had to have a lot of sleep in order to get rid of my hangover haha. We had a crazy party at my place that consisted of a 30 minute jam on a blues, a dude ripping down our shower curtain, and a complete depletion of our alcohol supply. It was a blast.
