Everyone talks about age like it’s a clear system.

At 18 you’re suddenly an adult.
At 30 you’re supposed to have everything figured out.
At 40 people start inventing marketing slogans like “40 is the new 30.”

Somewhere along the way, humanity decided the best way to deal with ageing was… creative arithmetic.

In this episode, I look at the strange theatre of age: the midnight disappointment of turning 18, the emotional accounting of your thirties, mortgages that last until seventy, and the beautiful future where retirement homes will be full of tattooed centenarians.

Because everyone says they want to live to 100.

What they actually want… is to stay young a little longer.

Uninfluenced.
Unpaid.
Unfiltered.
