Are we just not excited anymore?

Is everything really a solid 7/10 and “meh” ?

See the photo? It may be cliché, or “meh” but having that idea made me grin. I was genuinely happy that I thought of it. Simple. Made my morning better. Don’t care if it’s 6/10 to you.

A few days ago I finished reading „Sapiens” by Yuval Noah Harari. It had a huge impact on me and I am still thinking about some of its ideas.

Naturally when something sparks my interest so much, I get excited about it.

Then I share the info.

And in this case I truly believe the book should be mandatory in most high-schools. It’s a top-down view of what humans are and what they’ve been. How we reshaped ourselves, the planet and everything on it in a relatively short time period. Mindblowing.

So I shared it among friends for my excitement to meet with posed indifference.

„Yeah, I read it, all quite obvious, right?”

Well… No.

It’s not all quite obvious and I don’t believe it was for you either. We are we so casually condescending all the time?

By looking a bit down on every possible „human creation” we safeguard ourselves from being here. In the moment. Appreciating something good and insightful.

Is there anything left that’s good and insightful?
