"We are built as gene machines and cultured as meme machines, but we have the power to turn against our creators. We, alone on earth, can rebel against the tyranny of the selfish replicators."

-Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene, 1976

    That's one of my fears, is that by the time I am old enough to retire, I'll be too old to enjoy my steam games...

    I bought a bunch of model kits years ago, I enjoy building and painting, but never had the time. Now I have the time, but it turns out I can’t see the small parts, and I shake too much to paint. Whatever you love doing, do it now if you can.
