life on earth is pretty boring:
our capitalist consumer culture is really dull, everything revolves around consumption, even experiences have become simple objects you consume...seeing a movie, bungee jumping, blablabl,


I want to explore the universe

Exploring the desert or the forest or pretty much any place that isn't made of concrete and glass. Life on Earth boring? HA! I seriously doubt you've ever really looked around you at all the life there is out there, even in the environments we create. So, instead of longing for the improbable, why not learn to appreciate what you already have? If you hate the systems we've created, why not see what else the world has to offer? You want to explore the universe, but I doubt you've explored what's around you.

In other words, stop complaining. If you want a trip, try LCD. If you want an experience, go hike up a mountain and make a point to notice how the flora and fauna change with altitude. Then think about how those systems are maintained.

Life boring...I mean, seriously, where do you guys come up with this stuff?

Ah, but have you thought about the relationship between the squirrels and the trees? Squirrels disperse acorns of Oaks and also live in them. It doesn't exactly qualify as symbiosis, but both species benefit in the long run. Without squirrels dispersing the acorns, they'd fall under the tree and be quickly destroyed by parasites and predators concentrated by the parent Oak (I forget what this hypothesis is called, but I'll google in a minute). Therefore, they are very important to each other. This is, of course, just one aspect of a complex system. Nothing is mundane, really. Even if you could 'solve' the general system, variations in individuals keep things interesting.

I enjoy understanding life from a human perspective. I know that we are driven--all of it--from the smallest specs of what makes up matter to the organisms these specs form. We think we are different because we are so, well, 'individual', but we are still part of the hive.

I do wonder if that will ever change though.

Anyway, I know what you mean about consumption and all the bothersome factors associated with it but I lose myself in the bigger and little things in life.

I'm saving a few thousand dollars and am planning on one day just grabbing my essential shit, a few changes of clothes and hitting the road.

You should do that, OP.

Thinks the middle ages were like dungeons and dragons instead of 12 hours of farm work a day and bubonic plague.

They weren't really that bad, sure during farming seasons there was a buttload of work, but outside of planting and harvest there was an equally impressive buttload of free time.
Anyway in the middle ages things made sense, you just went to church and listened to your priest tell you about god and didnt ever have to think or question anything.
