Everyday empiricism for everyone
Notion:
Our world is what it is.
Notes:
Everything changes
Once our world was flat. Now it's a big rock flying though space. Our world has come a long way. I wonder how far it can go?
Perhaps one day humans will travel from planet to planet, and our world will be a multi-planet, or even a multi-galaxy world. Humans might even discover other universes, or even other dimensions, with sentient beings capable of communicating with us. Wouldn't it be cool to literally live in a multidimensional world?
On the other hand, say an individual is taken prisoner, and put in solitary confinement. Additionally, the only human contact is the voices of various guards that change over the years. In this case the prisoner's world is limited to the cell and the prisoner's imagination. (This is pretty basic Zen stuff, I guess. I learned about it from the Life TV show on NBC starring Damian Lewis. The show costars Sarah Shahi. Her name is my mantra.)
So our world has come a long way, but we still have a long way to go. I hope we go somewhere good, and don't go flat again.
