Waking Life

I just saw Waking Life

Some notes to jot down before I forget:

1. Why haven't we achieved anything past the Greeks? The answer can be found in another question: Are humans more lazy or more fearful?
2. I miss Joel
3. I miss crickets chirping and the smell of night, and serious little girls who still can't wrap their tongues around words quite right yet.
4. Most of us are either tragic victims of a) not enough life or b) an overabundance of life. I'm a! I'm a!
5. No editing this post allowed.
6. Time keeps us from discovering God. We're all living in 50 BC, and time is a mask.
7. Dreams and reality are one and the same. There is nothing different about the action of the molecules in my head during a dream, than in 'waking state.' The only difference is that my body's actions are suspended during a dream.
8. If that is the case, we all have so much potential
9. I work as a drone, but that is just another route up a pyramid where all sides become a point.
10. We *are* all pretty dumb because we're lazy and / or fearful. I don't want to be an ant, interacting with my environment via my antennae. I want my mid-life crisis to happen right now.
11. Sometimes I too watch myself as I go about my daily activities, seeing my life as an old lady looking back on it.
12. Sometimes I too listen to people and feel like I am cueing them to speak what I want to say.
13. I wonder about the collective subconscious of the world.

Interesting comments and observations. I could write several books on the topics you posted here. Your views on what mankind has achieved and in essance, what we are and what we've become, seem to indicate that you do hold much stock in all the advancement we've made. In my opinion, we've come miles. We've achieved much. And yet we know so little, we still have so much more to achieve and to explore. I suppose I am an optimist when it comes to these topics.
