Despite 2024 seeming like a brand-new year, the reality is we are already halfway through it. And when we hit 2025, it will be the halfway point of the 2020s. Today is the “Halfway to Halfway” point of the decade.
Halfway is relative, of course:
- Halfway for a mayfly is 12 hours - they live only for a day.
- Halfway for a weasel is 6 months – they live about a year.
- Human ‘halfway’ is 36 years – mankind’s worldwide average is 72 years.
- Halfway for a bowhead whale is 100 years – they can live up to 200 years.
Time doesn’t accelerate, of course, but it sure seems like it. Unless you are a bowhead whale.
