A Brief History of Thought

“The world is a cosmos, not a chaos.”

The Greeks had it right. Life is about finding your place in a beautiful, cosmic order. Everything else is just noise.

Christianity changed everything by making love the ultimate priority. It turned individual people into something sacred for the first time.

“Man becomes the center of the universe.”

Humanism is a bit of a trap. We stopped looking at the stars and started obsessed with ourselves. It feels lonely.

“I am not a man, I am dynamite.”

Nietzsche was right about the idols we worship. We need to smash our comfortable truths to actually live. It is terrifying but necessary.
