This feels like the no-attention span edition of Tim Urban's "The Tail End"[0], (which in turn is arguably just "memento mori" for the quantified self-crowd). Based on some the other reactions here guess it doesn't really have the same ability to enlighten in short form. Anyway, I just came back from a trip to Stockholm to get some papers in order at the embassy, and the experience feels weirdly relevant. Because one thing I always am overwhelmed by when I visit it, is just how long it takes to get from anywhere to anywhere. So much time of the day is wasted on commuting, not just for work, but for everything. It feels like one of those games that people say is great, but then once you play it it's just 90% loading screens. No wonder the Swedes don't have a culture of spontaneously visiting friends, you need to plan advance to make sure that they're home or you risk wasting two hours of your day.
