Combined with the loss of Bruce Brown recently (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15911673 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15911673), it feels like a generation's going.
To be frank, though, I thought both had died years ago.
- aphextron 9y agoI’ve been thinking about this alot too lately. It seems as if the entire 20th century has faded away before our eyes over the last couple years. That whole world will soon be nothing but history books.
- TaylorAlexander 9y agoMore than just books about us, we leave the world with all we left behind. Warren Miller is with us in his films, and others stay with us too even after their bodies have decayed. I’ve realized in recent years that while I don’t think there is a physical soul of any kind, the soul of an individual is the collective influence they had. Much of that lives on long after the person’s light leaves this world. That lasting influence is now, to me, the soul of the individual.
