If you could go back and look at tweets from 700 BC, and like, realize how insignificant you are in that vast scope of time. That’d be really good for us, man. I think that’s part of the problem. Those bigs gaps in what we know about civilization have created this really terrible — I don’t know what you would call it — some kind of societal narcissism. Or some kind of crazy idea that like, “No, no, no. You’re alive. Right, this life that you’re in right now. This 70 year span, in the midst of this ocean of time. No, no, no. For sure it’s the most important life.”
