After only two caverns I’m noticing a trend, but I like this video for its true-to-life depiction of a real time and place. I find it amazing that in our latching to the concept of time we’ve found so many ways to record it. For thousands of years, modern humans existed on the planet knowing not much more than their immediate surroundings: Oxford University and the Aztec Empire existed simultaneously; the Bicycle and Steam Locomotive were independently invented just a few years apart. For better and worse, today we can see what’s going on in every corner of the world, however relatively mundane or spectacular.
I look back on high school fondly, and in the grand scheme 2001 wasn’t too far from 2009, so this was a nostalgic viewing. These are my supervisors at work; friends’ older siblings; my camp counselors and cousins in their youth. Look at them go!
