Day 1380: atomize, surfeit, marginalize

Will that atomise them, or bring them together? Will a surfeit of centenarians marginalise the young, create a cult of youth—or both?

Living to 120 is becoming an imaginable prospect

Quote of the day
“I, however, was raised neither as Catholic nor as Jew. I was both, and nothing: a jewholic-anonymous, a cathjew nut, a stewpot, a mongrel cur. I was--what's the word these days?--atomised. Yessir: a real Bombay mix. ”

― Salman Rushdie, The Moor's Last Sigh
