Begin an adventure learning all sorts of information. History. Science. Become a student of humanity. There's this particular thing where as you mentally navigate through history you recognize that you could have been anyone anywhere. You could have been Jewish in 1930's Europe. You could have been taken as an Aztec sacrifice. A lowly farmer just trying to get by and be left alone.
Eventually you have enough knowledge to have this picture of how we got here. How we stand on the shoulders of our ancestors, and yet almost all people just tried to get by same as you and I.
How the hell did we build the skyscrapers? Where does all the poop in a city go and how ( I mean its a lot). How in the flying fuck did we actually get people on the fucking moon? How did we ever decide its reasonable to run wires everywhere and use electricity for freaking everything.
There's something so very healthy that comes with this curiosity. You sort of feel like you become one with humanity. You don't have to be an investment banker or navy seal to be on this ride.
