my reality is awesome *and* i love the empowerment (i could make it happen) and chillness (but maybe i don’t need to) that comes from imagining the possibility of others

yeah i know we're all special snowflakes around here 😛 but i'm talking about the man on the street! insofar as this reflects something in the *collective* unconsciousness what is that thing, is what i wanna know, and i feel like there's more despair out there than curiosity

i've been thinking about it. here's what i see: we're way too far from meaningful interstellar travel. and people are still railing against doing it at all, bless their souls. this is about as 'realistic' a possibility we can imagine to slake our thirst for exploring the unknown

that's the despair part: we've explored the crap out of this planet (i mean, there's probably a little more but it's wildly out of reach to the average guy), but we're too far out from exploring physical outer space, so average joe is just kinda stuck, here, in whatever situation

used to be you could start over in a brand new, unknown land, we aint got that anymore, we're just stuck with all these systems, and already bought up, rented out land here on this planet.
