Confront the cosmos, embrace the solitude
Life on Earth emerged with profound questions about existence and our place in the universe. As early humans formed larger communities and shared knowledge, they began to uncover startling truths about their environment. The realization that Earth is not the center of the universe, but rather a small part of a vast cosmos, provoked existential anxiety and confusion. Discoveries revealed that the sun, previously viewed as central, is just one of countless stars in an expansive universe, leading to feelings of isolation. As knowledge evolved over the past 10,000 years, humanity faced a collective existential crisis upon comprehending the universe's enormity and the loneliness it entailed. This overwhelming revelation contrasts sharply with the comforting delusions many maintain, choosing to perceive the world as a vibrant and warm place, rather than confronting the stark reality of their solitary existence in the universe.
