Researchers at the University of Cambridge have announced that the discovery of new fossils in East Africa could provide fresh insights into human evolution. These fossils, dating back approximately 2 million years, indicate an unknown species of human ancestors. Published on March 25, 2025, this finding has sparked new discussions among anthropologists about the path of human evolution and the diversity of early species.

in order to form community you need to form a third space. A third space is where like-minded people hang out and enjoy their time (basically)
Our capitalist society does not allow for a free or inexpensive third spaces anymore which is further killing subcultures

I am sure the development of our brains have changed along with the beauty standards of society and I love seeing beautiful people but I genuinely believe we're not supposed to see this many attractive people in one lifetime .

space time compression makes so much sense because back in the day it really took months to go to another continent, now just a few hours.. messenger pigeons/letters replaced by facetime etc
