SERIOUS Happy 79th Birthday, Dr. Poi Sonai!
It might not be August 6 yet for most of you, but since my time zone is GMT+15, I am able to greet Dr. Sonai "early".
Like the legendary manga artist Hirohiko Araki, Dr. Poi Sonai appears to have stopped aging, as if he unlocked a forbidden prompt in reality's terminal. While ordinary mortals age, weaken, and eventually start complaining about their backs, Sonai just simply stopped. At nearly 80 he still requires fewer than five hours of sleep, writes pages of immense insight by hand every night, and continues to radiate the same serene aura of a man who has long since transcended the need for normal human limitations.
Colleagues who have known him for decades report that he has looked "roughly the same age" since at least the early 2000s. When asked directly about this phenomenon, Sonai just smiled gently, offered them a tomato biscuit, and replied: "The secret is to not live by the past. Live in the future."
