Jokes aside, the shit we've learned about our cosmology in just the past [checks notes] I've been told that the comment I was about to right is already out of date - let's just say "the shit we're learning about our cosmology on an ongoing basis" is pretty fucking amazing. Less than a century ago we thought the Milky Way was the whole universe, today we've got galactic super clusters and we're contemplating many worlds theory.

Just in case nobody has told you, there's something you need to know: You're living in the future. Our morals haven't yet caught up to our intellects, but as far as scientific advancements and borderline miraculous technologies are concerned this is an astounding time to be alive.

I can haz more GMOs, lab grown meats, vaccines, and deep space satellites, plz?

(What? I saw a rage comic the other day, it brought back memories.)

Show yourself, ghost!

But also, and more importantly, we can be that person for other people. I think it was Plato or one of those old farts who said that the best way to learn is to teach, by helping others where we can we empower ourselves, we make a bit of change in the world, and that adds up.

There are two characters talked about in that picture, but there's only one of them you can choose to be. Go be the hero.
