Not really.
You go from -more or less- 11 days to 11.000 days. At -say for easy numbers- 333 days a year, you get to 11.000 / 333, which is about 100/3 which is about 30, 30 days...
Back of a napkin calculations greatly help in getting a better sense of these numbers.
It's 1000x bigger. You don't need to disseminate it. But people aren't built to grasp numbers like one thousand million. It's just too fucking big.
What?
That
Except still kind of yes. To the majority of people, 11,000 days won't mean very much, but 30 years will immediately make it click.
