But who knows?

I am amazed…

Figure 1I’ve realized that we’re all spoiled. Some discoveries don’t seem to have that “wow-factor,” sadly because the complexity of it is shadowed only by its pragmatic quality.

Many people can easily mention Einstein’s famous theory of relativity, but most of those people have never looked into it in such depth that they could actually tell someone else what it means. Do you even know what E = MC^2 means?

The theory of relativity isn’t pragmatic for our purposes (for now at least) so I’ll move on to what I really want to say. Agriculture. Simple? Yes, of course. Dig a small hole, put the seed in the hole, cover up the hole with dirt, pour water over it, and wait. But really, who the fuck went to the extent to actually think of this somewhat arbitrary process?

Thought process: “Hey, let me take this spherical object and put it in the ground just to see what happens.”

Pretty outrageous huh? Well take it one step further. Some guy decides to take some grain, grind it up, add some water and yeast, and put it over a fire…riiiiggghhhttt.

This is what keeps me up at night.
