The scariest thing about being the world's oldest person. Everyone on the planet at the time of your birth is gone.

On the flip side.. everyone was at one moment the youngest person alive.. if just for a moment.
Wow, when you put it like that... Incredible.
As someone who was briefly the world's youngest person, I can confirm it is an interesting alternate feeling to have no one on the planet alive after you.
