<p>there are some early unix tapes floating around, and in those early shells, i'm fairly certain the colon was one of only two special-cased code paths after the command line was parsed. does anyone recall more specifically?</p>

<p>this is a dense comment (there's a lot here to unpack). it sounds like you're saying:<p>once it became clear that conquest with an explicit intended return of large numbers of enslaved people would allow caesar to pay debts and fund further expansion, the pyramid was capped and required exponential expansion to perpetuate its economic aims. and this was the beginning of the end. a model which required autocratic steering to operate.</p>

<p>i don't think time moves faster as we age, i think our perceived duration of early life grows because we keep thinking about it.<p>for example, i have spent 35 years thinking about the events which took place at age 8, but i have only spent 8 years thinking about the events of age 35.</p>
