Sense of time

There is a new Matari channel, Circle of Tribes. I was there yesterday.

Listening to the discussion made me realize how different sense of time capsuleers have from regular people - people of the clans, of the tribes.

For many capsuleers a year is a long time, five years almost like an eternity. For a non-capsuleer, five years is short. For a clan, a tribe, five years is like nothing, hardly significant in the succession of generations.

Yet, capsuleers make so much noise about their supposed "immortality". Immortality, when the technology itself has been in use for only seven years? Immortality, when one cannot even remember events that happened five years back?

Such infinite arrogance.
