I think one of the biggest problems with our understanding of reality is that while we assume it is matter and mass, it's really tension.

There is no tiniest thing, be it atoms, quanta, or strings, so much as it's positive and negative charge.

When we begin to understand that, we will better learn to navigate the pitfalls and not be sucked into them so frequently.

For one thing, there won't be this social race to collect the most things, as it will be learning to ride the waves and how to pick which wave to ride.

Without the ups and downs, it's a flatline.
