What Would Your 2036 Self Say?

Andrew Curtis chats with John Cowan about time travel - why it's likely impossible, despite history's long list of failed predictions about technology - and how imagining conversations with a future or past self can serve as a useful thought exercise.

Cowan reflects that picturing his "2036 self" offers surprisingly practical wisdom: make the most of health and energy now, save and spend sensibly but don't miss out on living, and tell loved ones you love them while they're still around. The pair conclude that today's ordinary moments - family, children, even living in New Zealand - are themselves "the good old days", urging listeners to appreciate the present rather than fixate on past regrets or future "when I finally..." thinking.
