A Reminder

A French caver, according to BBC, has discovered prehistoric cave art thought to be 27,000 years old.

We have this unfortunate tendency to think we're so modern, so full of knowledge, so powerful... we forget that not that long ago our ancestors lived in caves, that today there is, in fact, a great deal more that we do not know than we know, and that the universe may not see us in quite the same grandiose terms with which we see ourselves. Indeed, I believe it is probably fair to say, a priori, that most of our assumptions about the nature of reality are false – what matters is the way we integrate our ignorance into daily life and try to move beyond it.
