Potential

Our ability as thinkers could not begin to scratch the surface of the true potential of reality. Think about the earliest existence of humans, and their full mental capacity to understand everything. I doubt that it could even come close to scratching the surface of what we can conceptualize now.

So what about 600,000 years from now? Providing humans are still around, wouldn’t it be safe to guess that our mental abilities will have grown substantially? Wouldn’t our culture, methods, cognitive abilities, and basic rationale be ridiculed as being “primitive” and “ancient?”

There is far greater potential in reality than exists ability to understand it.
