Looking back
This idea is probably a meme type thing ... but not one I am aware of.
On this idea of looking back and seeing improvements over time - pretty much a voyage everyone here is on.
No matter how good you think you are now - your future self will look back and enjoy saying how much better they are than you now!
Those future selves are so arrogant - and long may it continue like that!

Re: Looking back
Right, the point is to improve. Sometimes, looking back you find some really valuable pieces in a collection. Things you can rework. I think hearing skill changes/gets more precise too, so yeah, it's always evolving onward and upward.

Re: Looking back
the future self is actually what they call an elder, It's not arrogance so much as it is wisdom. What really happens, is that you will look back at your youth and see how many things you thought so important at the time,that really weren't.

Re: Looking back
I was in my thirties when a coworker told me I sounded like him, so at his insistence I bought one of his books, "the wisdom of insecurity". I'd have to agree to a point, it drops off about the zen stuffshoodBworkin wrote:Alan Watts was pretty awesome. Read him when I was a teenager. Such wisdom rocked my young world

Oh, I'd forgotton I read "The Joyous Cosmology"! Can't remember a thing about it now, but that and "The Doors Of Perception" and others were a blast in those dayshoodBworkin wrote:My introduction was "Does It Matter". then "The Book", "Nature, Man & Woman", "Cloud Hidden" . . . some others.
