Part of me wonders: has it always been like this? You see philosophers from thousands of years ago saying much the same, right? Course, they could remember a little more than 30 seconds or so, back then. Somehow it's sorta similar, but unlike some people, who dismiss much of what's going on today as "same old, same old", I'm not contented by the idea, and wonder about it's voracity. We're FAR more connected (faster, too) than ever. Somehow that plays an important role. Eh. I hope we'll naturally balance out-- seems to be the way of things, but I don't think it's a good rationalization for inaction. -- Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued.
