Great post perfectly aligned with some of my own contemplations lately.
I truly miss this authentic curiosity and rejoicing like a child. Before I came to Steemit I virtually didn't use any AI at all because I actually enjoy being in nature, reading books, having authentic conversations, experiencing adventures much more than engaging in virtual on-goings. In a sense, I feel as if the real reawakening of wonder and marvel only returns once the external circumstances have truly aligned with our inner world, because we are just so aware of our inner work that we want to "get certain things done for good" before we can 100% enjoy everything again it its purest essence.
To your points with the life forms: We cry fool at killers' murdering, yet in a sense killing a fly is nothing else, it is just that Humans' self-declaration as being the most sentient life form
actually makes us the most non-sentient life form...
Same here, previously I was very tech focused, but then a few years back I dove into nature and yoga and all sorts of other adventures, steemit and social media are a love hate for me, like I know we really need them to network and build certain types of communities, but we miss out on the communication involved with nearness, like body language or vibration.
We seem to think we are more important than everything else, and it even goes as far as groups of people and social class, hopefully the flaw in that thinking is revealed to everyone shortly, because it's a poisonous thought
