A MESSAGE FROM THE PAST (THOUGHTS ON NOSTALGIA)
Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter
Nostalgia often distorts our perception of the past, making us forget the anxieties and uncertainties we experienced at the time. When we look back, we tend to remember how we think we should have felt, given what we know today, rather than how we actually felt. This phenomenon can be seen in various aspects of life, including personal experiences and economic events, where the benefit of hindsight makes it difficult to recall the uncertainty and fear that once existed.
