66 pounds, approximately. About the weight of an 11-year-old, small for his age.

Sounds like the plot of Lost Horizon, by James Hilton. Made into a 1937 movie with Ronald Colman, Sam Jaffe and Jane Wyatt.

Yes, it is. It just used to be players reenacting a scene in the house of a nobleman for a pittance, preferably with a harpsicord accompaniment. This man has managed to survive this archaic you tube, and progress from there to Vaudeville You Tube and then the silver screen and television YouTubes, just sitting and meditating for everyone’s viewing pleasure, until he got onto the modern YouTube. Amazing.

Do you think I’d make it to the year 2525?

I imagine that there were a fair number of folks born ~1895-1900 who lived IN three centuries (19th, 20th, 21st) rather than for 3 centuries

Or maybe he started life as painted beads on an abacus, brought to life by Ji Pei To the toymaker in partnership with a blue fairy, and progressed from there to a vacuum tube colosus, then to jerky animation on a Tandy computer, an Apple, and then a Dell, when You Tube became a thing...
