It would take our ancestors, only 6-10 generations back, over 60 days on horse to travel from New York to Denver.

Iâm able to travel that in 1.5 days FROM MIAMI, in a Toyota Corolla.

Owning a horse in the 1700s would be equivalent to owning a Ferrari today (not to mention it would be 10x as prestigious as driving a Ferrari in the 21st century). Itâs a little ironic they use a horse as their logo today. ungating amazon service

From an efficiency standpoint we are absolutely spoiled today.

I could travel anywhere in the world I want to, in less than 25 hours, for less than a couple thousand dollars. Often times for less than $500.

I can see the biggest mountains, the clearest waters, the most primitive and most developed landscapes and countries in less than 40 days time. amazon brand ungating service

While I canât hop time zone to time zone, I can hop culture to culture. Going from ultra delevloped to hyper undeveloped counties in a matter of days.

We are all extremely privileged. Everyone reading this has a smartphone that can answer any fucking question they have. No encyclopedias or mentors needed.

And Iâm upset that some of my peers became stationary and ask the question âwhatâs the point of life weâve discovered everything there is to know? ... there are no more possible innovations to societyâ. amazon new seller restrictions

What an idiotic conclusion.

Weâve discovered .000001% of what could be discovered and we just got to the beginning of sharing information efficiently with one another.

Get your ass up and travel. Discover some shit. The field of health and medicine is extremely under explored. The field of exploring space hasnât even been touched. Entreupreurship is wildly under-pursued due to fear of failure. And we have all the resources at our fingertips, from the internet to instant travel, to make massive impact in our long lifetimes. We have the whole world and internet to explore and we have long lives to do so, yet so many of my peers assume weâre at the pinnacle of human technology.

Go out there and innovate. If you donât want to, then at least be happy!
