So all I have to do to appreciate the things around me is become a world renowned expert in something super specific.
Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool. No problem.
I know you're taking the piss but the point of it is really to take a moment to look more closely at what's around.
I saw a great Japanese movie recently called Perfect Days. The lead in it is a toilet cleaner in Tokyo leading a very simple life but he revels in the beauty in all he sees.
It honestly changed my worldview a little. Can't recommend the movie enough.
I'll take a look. Thanks.
Just dabbling in general science might help.
Look at that tree. Where does it come from? A bunch of random atoms somehow decided to make a tree. Out of what? If we burn a tree, all we get is a little ash. That ash is the only solid chemicals that the tree got from the ground. What was the rest made of? Where did it come from? Photosynthesis tells us that the rest of the tree came from the air. 90% of every tree is just conjured from air.
We’re surrounded everywhere by giant air crystals.
What makes atoms want to get together and form those?
Tons of fascinating questions if you think about it.
No, just be curious.
I mean, you're technically the leading expert on you, so that's a start.
