Carl-E:
Clinton has the soul of an artist, only without the artistic outlet.
As a result, his enthusiasm and frustration both know no bounds.
idontunderstand:
Very well put!
Mr. Doctor:
I'm with Clinton (and apparently also Jeph) on this one. Not like I'm thinking about it 24/7 but sometimes in those moments when I take the train to the university, chilling out... I just start to think about what kind of fascinating things we have developed/discovered.
I see it as a healthy way of life, constantly being reminded how lucky you are for having such good opportunities and luxuries so you live quite a happy life every day. :-)
Being overwhelmed by all that isn't good... but it's just as bad as being "meh" about it.
pwhodges:
Well, there's "meh" and "meh". For instance, the discovery of a possibly Earth-like planet elsewhere in the universe is a fascinating one, and very significant in its field - none the less, considered as part of our daily lives, it is also supremely unimportant. It's a matter of perspective, and one can be aware of both perspectives simultaneously while choosing one or other according to one's preoccupation at the time.
Mr. Doctor:
In case I wasn't very clear... I talked about the most negative side of "meh" like just... not giving a fuck (and taking most technology for granted) which is the kind of attitude Marigold reminds me of.
I don't go crazy when I read the news either, in fact... I read the news about that planet today and I said "Aaaah, that's cool!" and nothing more to it. IMO just saying that seems far better than not giving a damn. Maybe it's just me.
