If all of history is rooted within a human being then it is the individual who gazes into history only to discover his/her own self.
The Earth is believed to be have formed 7 billion years ago. The first instance of single-celled organism is estimated to have occurred from 2100 million years and the genesis of "homo" the origination of the hominids can be carbon dated to be 2.8 million years old. From there the status of Homo Sapien, a genesis for a new beginning began 20 KA, 550,000 - 125,000 BC.
From all this, it can be deduced from all of the laws of physics and chemistry is by principle is also constructed an entire library into one's very own dna. Therefore, humanity itself is a representation of the history within the universe itself. One from the stars, and one developed planetary which evolved into biology, a development that occurred for millions of years. To repeat my statement, this is essential 14 billion years of physics and chemistry running the universe show, where now biology (humans) are beginning to understand it.
What we call history is what derived from cause and effect, mistakes and failures. Empirically, results are realized after the facts but perhaps change itself is a priori - and all things happen for a reason. And as a result of humanity's timeline, the lessons to be learned are harsh. They are lessons of tryanny, oppression, conflict, etc.. but they are also moments of breakthoughs.
In unison, the modern world has no idea truly, as no one trues knows. In an age of information, the development of AI will inevitable change the entire ecosystem of the world. Likewise, will the developing technologies of energy, quantum computing, blockchain, etc, will permanently change the field in the living conditions for humanity.
This industry at the core of its development, is code and programming which will be imperative to know. This is a reflection of how paradigms are lived, change, and are transformed.
Likewise, other industries that are disrupted by automation and smart contracts will cause concrete loss of jobs for such sectors. At a certain point most of all ages are unprepared in a particular language that will change the world.
These are the computer languages such as java, python, c++, html, and many others. These learning curves are the same as learning a new language or a skill, which require concrete time and action to get better. But unfortunately, there is more.
The human capacity for learning and understanding must also assume a responsibility to know basic and advance science as well. This with an astute knowledge of history are the fruits which the philosophers such as Aristotle, Kant, etc.. had dedicated to perfect - that which is the mind. And to know Thyself.
Deeply rooted within the cornerstone of humanity, the quintessential drive of all change is capable to be forged and directed upon the formation of 'will.' An individual's will alone however is limited without collective support as well as the freedom and ability to do so. And idealistically, if done correctly, this would translate into momentum and direction in order to actualize what is the collective will of the people. As such, there is nothing like the raw display of emotion, which will empower people to do what inherently must be done. From this, the truth about ourselves may become more than the differences among us, but rather the connection that is shared planetarily, which may ultimate aim to align with our insatiable curiosity of exploring the universe.
Epoch after epoch, age after age, the evolution of mankind from a primitive being with instinctual qualities, into a creature fashioned with a natural curiosity to learn and question, leads us engaged in a perennial pursuit towards truth and understanding. From hunters and gatherers into scholars and scientists, the capability of rational thought has also evolved, as Newton had once written, ‘we sit on the shoulders of giants,’ essentially stating, the contributions and advancements made in society were brought into fruition by other minds and a debt is owed to these people. And upon following a long historical lineage of time, the framework of our definition to reality has literally become built upon these ideas and concepts passed on from one generation to the next.
What has survived, been preserved, recorded and transcribed into a language shared both culturally and universally into a novel expression of information has reached a breaking point since the dawn of technology. One paradigm after another, the scientific development of mankind is evidence of this.
From the objective and empirical field during the initial beginnings of biology, physics and chemistry, it is a wonder how such detailed comprehension of nature will drive a fascinating future when the right conditions are given. Indeed, the quantum, atomic, molecular, and cellular states of matter are complex to understand yet eloquently exist so well that existence is de facto and possible. As a result, the definition and perception of reality over time will inevitably be revised, improved, etc.. And for as long as time will alone, our story will continue.
Fourteen billion years of big physics and chemistry running the universe will let young biology catch up eventually. Perhaps that is the aim in itself.
