Awe

Psychologist Nicholas Humphrey has proposed that our ability to awe was biologically selected for by evolution because it imbues our lives with sense of cosmic significance that has resulted in a species that works harder not just to survive but to flourish and thrive.

Who cares who he is. It is what he has to say. Why is that if it is not someone famous we find it hard to listen to what someone has to say. I like what he said.

No thanks, I prefer my comfort zone. It's where I can relax, be myself, not worry about redefining everything and generally just be happy and content. New experiences are fine every now and then but anyone who believes they should always be happening, either has ADHD or a problem living in the present.

// 'futurists' are people who want to live in the future at the expense of 'here and now'.
