I would have gladly figured out how to pleasured daily if I were a Venetian nobleman in the 14th century at the height of their power.
Endless supply of fine Italian women, good food and drink. I think I could have managed.

You think you'd be the Doge, or would you stay a wealthy noblemen?

Not the Doge - too much responsibility and less time for Italian women, food and wine.

That sounds like the U.S now.

It’s by pure chance that any of us find ourselves “here.” We’ve been here and “there” many times and will be again and again, wherever here and there are.
We’ve been plants and animals, Protozoa and archaic bacteria and all of the alien life we imagine is out there. We’ve been conscious to the degree that our life forms at the time generated and will be again, and again. The luckiest of us will be conscious in machine near-eternal bodies that can be altered to fit our environments.
So, consciousness in any particular organism is completely random and its degree of acuity is determined by the level of chemical complexity displayed by the organism.
You didn't ask, you answered. There is a difference.

You didn’t ask either. You made a rhetorical statement.

The mid 50's to the early to mid 60's here in America would have been a perfect time for me.

It would have to be after the invention of a vaccine for polio, smallpox, and such things.

I grew up in the mid-50s to mid-60s. It was a hoot.
