It’s important to realize that the average person is capable of living several minutes (at most) longer than we think. We are all capable of living several minutes longer than we think, so you should consider that when thinking about how long you live.
One of the most common questions I get from customers is “how many seconds does the average person live?” This is a pretty simple question to answer. The average person is capable of living an average of four minutes, which means the average person is capable of living an average of four seconds longer than that. The average person is also capable of living an average of three seconds longer than that. So, in total, the average person is capable of living an average of four seconds longer than that.
Some people have been able to live for an average of three seconds longer. For other people it’s been an average of four seconds. For people who don’t have the capacity to understand or use time-of-day, this is another easy question to answer. There’s a trick about how we measure time that makes this easier: In the United States, the clock is set so that clocks run one hour each day.
If you live in the US, one hour means that clocks set in the US run for one hour each. Time in the UK is the same, but clocks run 60 minutes per day.
Time is really all about our brain, we all know that, but the fact is that we can’t really see how long we’ve been asleep or how long the previous day has been. We also can’t really see how long we’re actually in the present (like how many seconds we’re currently in). Thats because our brain simply thinks that the past is the same as the present.
The problem is that we cannot really see how many minutes are in the past. Our brain simply thinks that the past is the same as the present.
But the problem is that if we were to take the time to count the seconds in our brains, we would be surprised. Because the majority of our thoughts and actions are on autopilot. Of course, if we were to take the time to take a good history with our brain, we might be surprised. We think the past is the same as the present. We think that the past is the same as the present.
The problem is that when we’re on autopilot for so long that we forget we’re on autopilot. Because when we’re not even aware of our habits, routines, impulses, and reactions, then we no longer control them they control us. Whereas a person with self-awareness is able to exercise a little meta-cognition and say, “Hmm… every time my sister calls me and asks for money, I end up drinking a lot of vodkas.
“We think the past is the same as the present.” That’s what I thought too, until I looked up “autopilot” on Wikipedia. What I found is that while the past is the same as the present, the present is also the same as the past.
Well, that’s not exactly what happens on autopilot either, because we get stuck in the present. We think we’re the same as we were yesterday, but we aren’t. We’re still alive, we still have emotions, we still feel pain and pleasure and desire, and we still have thoughts, memories, and desires. But we aren’t.
