“I used to get bummed in math class when learning theorems: "All the low-hanging fruit has been solved before I was born! If I was alive at the time of Pythagoras I could've easily derived the Pythagorean theorem and etched my place in history! But now I feel lucky for my 21st century education. I get to simply download the knowledge of all who came before me, allowing me to stand on their shoulders and ponder new problems they never would've had access to. If 5th century BC Pythagoras discovered algebraic theorems, If 19th century Darwin discovered the evolution of species, Then what topics does the 21st century mind explore? I'd say evolutionary psychology, primitive neuroscience, and information networks”
