00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:14.480
For a few years now, it has been possible

00:00:14.480 --> 00:00:18.200
to print food in various shapes with the help of 3D printers.

00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:21.320
Scientists are trying to create appealing food

00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:24.880
for people who have difficulties chewing and swallowing.

00:00:25.840 --> 00:00:27.720
Then the elderly can have a meal

00:00:27.720 --> 00:00:29.640
that looks more appetizing

00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:31.600
and is more varied

00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.840
than it is to eat a bowl of puree

00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:36.440
or other texture modified foods.

00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:40.760
A 3D printer makes the broccoli puree

00:00:40.760 --> 00:00:43.400
looks like a broccoli bouquet,

00:00:43.880 --> 00:00:46.280
the chicken puree like a chicken fillet

00:00:46.280 --> 00:00:47.560
and so on.

00:00:48.640 --> 00:00:50.440
The texture of the puree determines

00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:52.600
whether it can be printed or not.

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:55.520
In a few years, the hope is

00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.640
that the potato puree will reach a thicker texture

00:00:58.760 --> 00:01:03.360
so that it too can be 3D printed in the shape of food.

00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:08.560
Everyone agrees on the necessity for normalcy,

00:01:08.960 --> 00:01:12.320
and yet you find it hard to get up in the morning.

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:15.600
You are hindered by the sincerity of the paths,

00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:17.920
and by the thought of the opportunities lost

00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:20.920
every time you choose a direction.

00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:25.920
Your manager, who is more like a friend,

00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:28.160
has offered you a virtual coffee,

00:01:28.160 --> 00:01:31.840
and said it is one of the many initiatives needed

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.640
to keep a structure in everyday life.

00:01:35.640 --> 00:01:37.360
You are longing for the time,

00:01:37.480 --> 00:01:39.160
when now has become then,

00:01:39.440 --> 00:01:41.720
and the crossroads lie behind you.

00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:45.920
All your life you have wanted to grow older,

00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.320
since being young is the worst you have ever been.

00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:52.960
You heard of a turtle

00:01:53.080 --> 00:01:55.120
that can live for more than a hundred years

00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:59.240
and spends 95% of its life under sand

00:01:59.240 --> 00:02:01.400
to hide from the enemy.

00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:05.120
Cantor’s giant softshell turtle.

00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:09.560
You think, if one has a soft shell,

00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:11.240
one has to hide.

00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:15.880
You wonder why one even has a shell if it is soft.

00:02:16.600 --> 00:02:18.240
Would it not be better,

00:02:18.240 --> 00:02:19.560
for example,

00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:21.720
to outrun the enemy?

00:02:23.920 --> 00:02:25.960
You think about the time when you were a child,

00:02:25.960 --> 00:02:28.000
and so afraid to get hurt

00:02:28.000 --> 00:02:30.640
that you barely dared to move.

00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:33.480
The thought of breaking a leg,

00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:34.760
and not being able to walk,

00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:37.080
could make you lie still for days.

00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:39.400
And the longer you lay still

00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:41.320
the more frightened you became.

00:02:42.400 --> 00:02:44.160
Back then you used to long

00:02:44.200 --> 00:02:45.680
for the time that is now,

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.520
as you thought it would be beyond fear.

00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:53.160
Now you wish to return to that feeling of longing,

00:02:53.360 --> 00:02:56.560
because you are tired of being right in the present.

00:02:57.640 --> 00:03:01.560
You wonder, if cantor's giant softshell turtle

00:03:01.640 --> 00:03:05.280
also becomes stressed when hiding from its fear.

00:03:06.440 --> 00:03:08.240
It does not look like it.

00:03:08.920 --> 00:03:11.280
It looks like the turtle knows the meaning of it all,

00:03:11.960 --> 00:03:13.560
or at least decided that,

00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:14.720
whatever it is,

00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:15.720
it does not matter.

00:03:17.320 --> 00:03:19.280
Age carries a promise

00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:22.440
that you will never have to choose direction again,

00:03:22.640 --> 00:03:24.880
and you hope to be there soon.

00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.560
Your mother's boyfriend tells you

00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:31.000
that Thåström is about to release a new album.

00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.880
“It’s recorded in Berlin,

00:03:34.120 --> 00:03:36.760
so there’s no limit to how terrible could be.”

00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:39.400
You think of Thåström

00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:42.320
and that he is too old to pretend to be young,

00:03:42.880 --> 00:03:44.080
and of your friend

00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:47.000
who always has to show ID at the liquor store,

00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:49.320
even though he is almost 40 years old.

00:03:50.320 --> 00:03:53.000
He claims that it is because

00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.200
he looks like how others believe

00:03:55.200 --> 00:03:58.320
young people dress up to look old.

00:03:59.320 --> 00:04:03.160
You think of the fact that you are hiding from the danger,

00:04:03.320 --> 00:04:04.800
or the fear,

00:04:04.880 --> 00:04:07.600
during your presumably most good looking years,

00:04:07.720 --> 00:04:10.080
and of what a waste that is.

00:04:11.480 --> 00:04:13.960
This should be the perfect opportunity

00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:15.720
to learn something new

00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.480
and you always wanted to know German.

00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:21.720
But next time you have the possibility to go to Berlin

00:04:21.720 --> 00:04:23.400
you might already be ugly,

00:04:23.640 --> 00:04:25.600
and what’s there for you then?

00:04:27.840 --> 00:04:31.760
You wonder what Cantor's giant softshell turtle does

00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:35.600
during the five percent of its life it spends out of hiding,

00:04:35.880 --> 00:04:37.280
and how many

00:04:37.280 --> 00:04:38.840
that are found by the enemy

00:04:38.840 --> 00:04:40.600
even though they hide.

00:04:41.960 --> 00:04:43.600
You wonder if the potato puree

00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.440
will ever reach the right texture,

00:04:46.440 --> 00:04:47.640
and if not –

00:04:47.640 --> 00:04:49.520
– would it be possible to print something else

00:04:49.520 --> 00:04:51.000
in the shape of potatoes?

00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:53.200
Maybe parsnip?

00:04:54.920 --> 00:04:57.160
Since you have always been more afraid

00:04:57.160 --> 00:04:58.760
of fear than danger,

00:04:58.760 --> 00:05:01.040
your biggest concern is that you might die

00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:03.440
before you reach the carefree age

00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:04.920
beyond the crossroads.

00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.440
So instead of learning German

00:05:08.640 --> 00:05:10.840
you read about bike helmets.

00:05:11.840 --> 00:05:15.560
“The world’s safest bicycle helmet is not a helmet

00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:20.320
but a head protection worn like a collar around the neck.

00:05:20.880 --> 00:05:23.520
In the event of an accident the airbag inflates

00:05:23.520 --> 00:05:26.360
and turns into a soft shell around your head.”

00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:30.960
The helmet that is not a helmet is called Hövding

00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:34.360
and it is connected to one's cellphone via bluetooth.

00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:38.760
An algorithm trained with data,

00:05:38.760 --> 00:05:41.080
from accidents as well as ordinary cycling,

00:05:41.440 --> 00:05:44.440
detects if an accident is about to happen.

00:05:45.960 --> 00:05:49.560
Fatal cycling accidents appear to be most common at left turns,

00:05:49.920 --> 00:05:52.680
but are on the whole quite rare.

00:05:54.320 --> 00:05:59.000
Cantor's giant softshell turtle is now threatened with extinction,

00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:02.360
and you see that as evidence enough

00:06:02.640 --> 00:06:06.280
that a soft shell helps about as much as hiding.

00:06:06.280 --> 00:06:09.560
And you think that three thousand swedish crowns is expensive

00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:11.920
for a helmet that is not a helmet.

00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:15.560
But the fact that death is rare

00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.080
is a small comfort

00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.000
as it is irreversible,

00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:25.000
and at some point you will probably have to turn left.

00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:28.880
You are longing for the time,

00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:30.600
when now has become then,

00:06:31.400 --> 00:06:33.120
when everything you are afraid of

00:06:33.200 --> 00:06:34.760
has already happened.

00:06:35.960 --> 00:06:39.880
The newspaper says that 70 is the new 20.

00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:44.760
It is, so to speak, a "second time of freedom".

00:06:45.960 --> 00:06:47.520
If it was previously said

00:06:47.520 --> 00:06:49.760
that young people are the future,

00:06:49.760 --> 00:06:53.040
the future can now be said to belong to the elderly.

00:06:53.960 --> 00:06:56.600
Thus, the future belongs to Thåström,

00:06:57.120 --> 00:06:59.880
and old age does not seem to exist anymore.

00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:05.960
Cantor's giant softshell turtle can live for more than a century.

00:07:06.520 --> 00:07:09.960
Potato puree stays fresh for four to five days,

00:07:09.960 --> 00:07:12.160
up to a week in refrigerator.

00:07:12.760 --> 00:07:13.760
And you,

00:07:14.160 --> 00:07:15.480
and Thåström,

00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:18.680
will be forever 20.

00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:23.840
You think about the fact that now it only exist a past

00:07:24.080 --> 00:07:25.880
where there once was a future,

00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:30.000
and about the humiliation of living in a retirement home

00:07:30.160 --> 00:07:32.760
and being tricked into eating potatoes

00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:35.800
that are in fact parsnip.
