How many years can a mountain exist, before it is washed to the sea? Time changes everything with every second that passes. Some fundamental patterns tend to endure, including our self-renewing body for our hour upon the stage, but without change, nothing would ever happen. Or ever would have happened. The "Big Bang" (or whatever it was) would not be.
I'm not an ostrich, as older than dirt and well aware of the ravages of age and our "one hour upon the stage." I'm also aware of generational changes, and how much will change for our grands. Also curious as to how "entanglement" works, and what kind of "aliens" are out there.
I hope you don't think I was implying you were among the ostriches ( though I have read that the claim that they bury their heads is a myth). I am agreeing that for any number of reasons we often miss, or deliberately ignore, the clues that things are changing (climate denial?) or that opportunities exist to beneficially influence the future. That seems to be part of the theme here, not a tidy chronology of history, or even the day's events, but how we may beneficially respond to both. I also, being well on in years, struggle to preserve some of my established ways, finding a laptop computer vastly more useful than a smart phone, but it more ways than makes sense to list here experience companies trying to force me onto the latter. (I have a smart phone but only use it when I need it).
Any way the folks who want to believe that it was all figured out long ago, and want to return to a past that is disintegrating or more likely, never was ("originalists") are trying to live a lie. We have been surfing the leading edge of time since before life even existed; history is how we got here. Like you, I am challenging the "ostrich" mentality.
Thank you for reminding me, and us, that this is not a tidy chronology of history. I, too, hang on to many established ways (comfort zone to me) as I try to negotiate this strange world. тАЬSurfing the leading edge of timeтАЭ is priceless. Hope man is around to continue that. Sorry for the ostrich reference but it is pretty well established, even if they are maligned undeservedly.
Just yesterday, I declined the opportunity to explore Avatar second life. I have enough trouble with first life and consider this a distraction that I donтАЩt need, bur some are pushing. Seems like another head in the sand moment. Sorry ostriches, but a handy analogy.
People still think that nothing has changed and nothing will change. Ostriches
