RE: The Duality Of Technology & Rewiring The Brain Of Humanity
Hey @jakeybrown thank you for stopping by and leaving a typically awesome comment, I really appreciate it. And yes I couldn't agree more, we have minds bursting at the seams with information .. some relevant, some not. Equally some of the most profound wisdoms and lessons this life has to offer are often learned in the most simplistic of ways .. I'm very aware that I feed a multiplicity of thoughts and ideas into this world, but that is just one aspect of who I am .. I also understand the inherent value of not overthinking, of simply being at one with the moment. Indeed whilst held within the warm embrace of nature it's easy to see that life can be as simple or indeed as complicated as we make it .. every stress, anger, worry is a construct of own own mind and if we didn't project this onto the natural world it would carry on regardless, you see we need this world, we need it's food, it's water and it's beauty makes our hearts sing .. equally it doesn't need us, and so I wonder how we became so arrogant, so full of our own importance.
What technology gives with one hand it takes with another and I profoundly feel we need to awaken to this fact .. sure use technology, embrace it .. but also embrace the beauty and majesty of the world around us, care for it, cherish it, love it, love the trees, know their names, care for the animals .. that is what I fear for future generations for I can see it playing out in children that care more for computer generated worlds than the one that they inhabit .. it's so important that we get hold of this and spark childrens interest in the natural world for they're are the ones that are going to be it's custodians. That's the main reason I wanted to make with this post, to point out this is both a time of profound promise and inherent danger. Thanks again @jakeybrown
We are definitely living on a razor edge between worlds, we have so much potential yet we seem to take our gifts for granted. Great response, not much I want to add to it
