“ This is what we do, humans. We tinker, and change, and endlessly imagine a more perfect future. And at the same time, we idealize the past. So we’re trapped. Progress’s constant companion is nostalgia for the way things used to be. … The thing we forget about progress: there is no master plan. It lurches forward, in the dark, accidentally, and you’re never sure where it’s taking you. There’s no going back, whether it wants to or not.”
Ira Glass (speaking about factory farms) from s1e6 of This American Life, the television show (via spaceminer).
in this we have to remember to see opportunity so we don’t get stuck in time like a kid whose face really did change with the wind.
