Things I’ve always felt but could never explain.

This is why I read.

Poignant.

If human beings think creatively (something AI is inherently incapable of), aren't we submitting our intelligence to machines that are inherently inferior?

Our brains require friction to learn, but rapidly accelerating technology makes things as frictionless as possible.

Therefore…?

Enjoy the stage of life you are at. Dont yearn for what has passed.

Let it go and embrace who you are.

Every bit of technology changes something.

As a photographer myself, it never occured to me how much I might be missing out on a scene by just pressing a button to take a photo.

It’s interesting how Europeans saw the world only a few hundred years ago.

The East was to be abandoned, while the West (the Americas) represented hope, freedom and opportunity. Frontier mentality.

History had a balance however, and the East has always been number 1.

Each nation, each people and each civilisation has its turn at domination.

They spread to the whole world what they personally excel at, thus contributing to the overall progress of the human race.

When their time is up, the cycle repeats.

Fascinating idea by John Glubb.

The wilderness has always been the refuge of all those seeking true freedom.

But only a few are willing to pay its price.

Everything has its peak, its apex.

Your body, the day, your career, your health … everything reaches its highest point after which they decline.

Enjoy and take advantage of things at their best.

‘Philosophies of becoming’ dominate the modern world.

We find them at every strata of society, from the theory of evolution to our ideals of progress.

Everything is in a transitory state, nothing is permanent.
