Wondering about shared interests

Stevie

I used to have strong interests, but it’s been harder to feel connected to them in recent years.

I’d like to see if anyone else here shares them:

  • physics and cosmology
  • Linux, computers, retro computing
  • history and creativity (prehistoric humanity, Buddhist teachings, gothic/surreal art, drawing)

If any of this overlaps with what you enjoy, I’d like to know what specifically you’re focusing on within it.

    Since it's prehistory, by definition, there's no historical record.

    Which leaves it open to interpretation and speculation based of patchy evidence. Interesting but always subject to revision.

    There's some fanciful stuff out there.

    But the antikythera mechanism, albeit not prehistory, points to more sophistication than some allow.

    People 10,000 or 50,000 were not mentally much different to now. The problem is we have issues to piece it together from what ever scraps survived.
