Future shock

Random quote of the day:


"Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present."

—Marcus Aurelius Antoninius, Meditations, Book 7:8



(After reading this quote, I really had to resist the urge to write an aside: "omg we're doomed!" Glad I resisted.)













This is an amazing piece of work. To see a larger version of this, go here. It's part of an fascinating blog, paleofuturefeed.

I felt the same way yesterday when I pulled it out of the quote file to illustrate it, so yeah. It's a good one. Glad it helped.
