REVscene Automotive Forum - Mankind's ingenuity and fear through history: inspiring video

amazing video on youtube that talks about how far man has progressed.

possibly one of the most epic videos i have ever watched on youtube. has music by hans zimmer as well (inception/dark knight etc).

fail me if this was not the most epic 9 minutes you spent today

We have made great progress and we’ve acquired great knowledge but our civilization is still far from its peak where we can live together in peace and harmony with nature. We still have many rivers to cross and we still have much to learn before we reach our full potential. If we want our civilization to survive and flourish then we need to stop being scared all the time if we need to embrace the nature of reality. And we need to stop pretending that we are a part of a divine purpose and that we’re going to be reward with eternal bliss.

Only when we accept that we’re not going to live forever will we be able to truly appreciate the short spark of our existence and live our lives fulfilled. Only when we come to terms with our true nature will we be able to divert from our brute heritage and create a society where we can share the world together. Only when we base our knowledge on facts and evidence will we be able to connect with the true wonder of the universe and celebrate the miracle of life. And only when we realize that we are the authors of our own future will we be ready to leap out from our planetary neighbourhood and reach distant worlds and new civilizations.
