Really puts into perspective how much humanity have evolved.
When ever I wonder about something, I can just conjure it and have it in the palm of my hand.
Galaxies, star systems, the map of the entire world, history, geopolitics, real time events from across the world.
I mean, yes, bad things still happen in the world, but its just so… amazing, intruguing, awesome, and also absurd how we can just know almost anything and everything if we are willing to search for the topic.
The world seems bigger, and ourselves seem smaller.
What the fuck is life? Its so… strange…
When I was a kid, space felt so magnificient.
But now I’m dealing with depression, and the universe feels kinda existential.
I look at humanity and felt so amazed at the cooperation that built civillizations.
But simultaneously see the hatred between groups of people, and it feels depressing.
Edit: I don’t know what this post is supposed to be, kinda just wanna talk into the void of the internet, share some thoughts. I don’t have friends to talk to, wanna talk to some Lemmy strangers I guess… 👀
I don’t recall which of the Greek philosophers hated writing, because it would make it so people wouldn’t bother to remember anything anymore.
Learning more about the Greek culture of the bronze age really makes me wish they didn’t have such a big impact on western culture, given how misogynist and slave reliant they were. ACOUP has a great series of articles on how the real Sparta worked (a shithole place where more than half of the population were slaves, plus their warriors were just average)
