READING, WRITING

Read 60 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says that the "peasants" of the Agricultural Revolution (which took hold over a period of approximately 4,000 years - i.e., between 12.5K BC and 8.5K BC) necessarily confronted the changing weather and geologic conditions for the first time.  They began to think about "what ifs."  What if there were not enough water, or too much water, or strong winds, etc, etc.

I agree that we had to have somehow adjusted our thinking about conditions we were subject to, and that this changed our thought processes.

But I don't see that as a bad thing, which Harari again implies.  He, more than AR "peasants" longs for the prior days of foraging.

Enough of that for today.

*****************

Happy Birthday Dad (111) and Grandpa Borg (131)!!!

It's hard to imagine what they'd be like if they were alive today.  Maybe they ARE (reincarnated).  Or maybe they're in another life somewhere else.

I do wish I could somehow talk to them, and do so openly.  I wonder what they'd think of my life.  I wonder what they'd tell me about THEIR lives that they kept secret.  Or were they like that man who looked in the mirror every day, and strove to so live that the image he saw in the mirror at the end of his life was the same image that others saw when they looked at him.

Some things I read in my youth are still with me today.  Some are not.

So, let's have a good day today!
