You reply in the comments, and i try to guess your age based on a short conversation we have. That's it!

Okay, final question. Is there anything more you hope to get out of life before you can say you’ve done it all?

I want some sort of feat, achievement or even improvement left behind for people after my death. It doesn't need to be fancy or life-changing; just something nice that makes people say "hey, Lvxferre did it".

Ok. I'm gonna make a guess. I feel like I'm wrong, but... Are you 39?

[–] lvxferre@mander.xyz 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wow, that's really close (I'm 38).

How did you guess it? (Sorry for the late reply!)

Haha yes! I ruled out 20s when you said you'd been in grad school. I knew it must have been late 30s or higher since you've been doing translation for a decade. I was able to rule out 40s due to some psychosocial theory from Erikson.That was the point of the last question i asked. Typically individuals within ages 40 - 60 are dead set on some area they want to make an impact in. It didn't seem like you quite had that figured out yet (although that was and still is just a guess, i could be completely wrong).
