Socrates said it well. Without self-analysis, we float through life, often not noticing what is important. Recently, I decided to go with my son to a museum in a neighboring city. We traveled 60 km in 40 minutes in a comfortable carriage with coffee and air conditioning. I told him that our ancestors traveled in carts between these cities under the hot sun for a long time. It is nice to realize the comfort of the modern world compared to other times.

Just think - all those great thinkers from the past and with many still relevant today, were able to discover so much within a few hundred kilometres of where they were born, or less. Now, people travel the world, have the history of the world at their fingertips - and are morons.
