4,000 Hours: Cosmic Insignificance
Reflecting on the insignificance in the grand scheme of the cosmos can provide a therapeutic perspective, helping individuals zoom out from their problems and find a greater sense of interconnectedness. This practice, known as Cosmic Insignificance Therapy, involves considering how small individual issues are in the context of the vast world, history, and universe. Astronauts have experienced the overview effect when observing Earth from space, feeling both total insignificance and profound interconnectedness. By adopting this cosmic perspective, individuals can gain a deeper understanding of their concerns and appreciate the broader context of existence.
