If one letter in one word is what is making this barely comprehensible then why did both of our brains automatically fill it in and perfectly comprehend it?

She says “the fact is that the later [generations] are apparently happier, less anxious, and more content with what they achieved or failed to”
What part of that did I miss?

The post is barely comprehensible. I'm guessing "later" is supposed to be "latter" so it means what you say, but that's not what's written.

Today, I walked into the toilet, forgot why I went in there so I turned around and walked out. Five minutes later, I returned. All good.

Reply to There's been tens of thousands of generations of humans, yet even those just 3 generations back are already forgotten by most living humans. by batsofburden
Only around 10,000 generations.
Anatomically modern humans are only 300,000 years old. Behaviorally modern humans are younger than that, anywhere between 50,000 years old to 150,000 years old.

But it's literally our fault if the planet becomes unhabitable... So we're the heroes because after we kill everything on earth we can put some of it back? 😂

I never thought about that but you're right. Without us, "invasive species" wouldn't even exist. Damn 🤯

I guess anxiety affects reading comprehension because that is exactly what the post says

I have a theory that the brain is like a hard drive that fills up by the time we're in our 30s, so it starts deleting things. Unfortunately, we have no conscious control over what it deletes. 😱

You should read The Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. He writes to himself about this very thought.

Reply to Your bellybutton was your first mouth by fatheraabed
Hence the OE knaeve {n’aIvÊve}
From Old French —-> Latin naevus to connect, constrict, or be grossly becutten
Later borrowed from Finnish naïve meaning to be beholden to the connection thereof, hence leading.
Earliest usage in English, from Sir Thomas Tomlison’s Practical Guide For The Gifted Sub Hunter, circa October 1593, “and thine whence betroth, a single nave from fetal navel, doth give thine crimson hunt.”

Yes the boomers that lived through the most prosperous, easiest times and bought a house on one salary that are now in retirement are much happier than the young people who will never own a house and retire and who will have climate change affect their live significantly with none of these things being properly adressed by politicians.
Your point?

Later is a typo for latter (my phone just autocorrected that to later and I had to manually fix it).
I concede that that is a viable interpretation though. My bad dawg
