bryonmcdonald: I just started this fascinating book Guns, Germs, And Steel by Jared Diamond, and I’m learning things about the people and the state of the world a long, long time ago. It’s amazing how humbling a little graphic like this can be—how it can transform the most pressing stressors in my life into the most infinitesimally insignificant nothings in the blink of an eye. To think that each of our entire lives last not even .001% of the entire length of human existence is just…well, it can either make you entirely depressed or entirely grateful of this blip on this planet we call home.
