We spend an inconceivable amount of time searching subconsciously for someone who gets it. The "it" is interchangeable for every individual, but is a vocal point of their character. We very may have more than one "it" to us. There are different things we find important, and we search out people that share one or more of these things.

I want to meet Neil DeGrasse, because I believe he gets it.

I want to meet John Green, because I believe he gets it.

I want to meet Louis C.K., because I believe he gets it.

I want to meet Joe Rogan, because I believe he gets something that I want to also get.


Life is spectacular, because once in awhile it just throws this random person at you who gets it. And this person causes all this activity in the right caudate nucleus and right ventral tegmental aredopamine in your brain to happen, because you connect with one another. You can relate to one another. You both get it. 




What a glorious thing...

I'm convinced that all of society's flaws, stem from a collective lack of contemplating our existence, the universe, and life at an atomic level. Considering all these things has changed my perspective on the world in such an immense and complicated way that I can't find the words to explain it. It's like waking up from an extremely realistic dream.

I understand the fear of spending time considering things that leave you with more questions and no definitive answers. But accepting things as they are without doing individual research is dangerous. Distracting yourself constantly with mindless entertainment is dangerous.

The best people I know, are the ones that try to understand, what they most likely never will. They are the ones that seem like they really get it. They seem content.
