oh wow look at me I’m a human! when do I live? now, clearly. Everyone older than me lived in these descriptive periods of history that define the je ne sais quoi of the everything. I’m gonna tell everyone in the future that I’m living in the “now” time! wowwww, fuck you dickhead, real fucking selfless ain’cha. now we have to deal with the mass confusion every time someone distinguishes between modern[1] and contemporary.[2] i want your incorporeal form toyed with by forces unknown to me because you’ve slightly inconvenienced literally everyone in the modern day. jackass

modern philosophy: “I think therefore I am” – Descartes
