50,000 years ago, there are not even a million people on the planet. 10,000 years ago, there’s, like, two million people on the planet. Now there’s between five and six billion people on the planet, right? Now, if we all have our own, like, individual, unique soul, right, where do they all come from? You know, are modern souls only a fraction of the original souls? ‘Cause if they are, that represents a 5,000 to 1 split of each soul in the last 50,000 years, which is, like, a blip in the Earth’s time. You know, so at best we’re like these tiny fractions of people, you know, walking… I mean, is that why we’re so scattered? You know, is that why we’re all so specialized? – Before Sunrise Quotes
Really nice photos! There’s an estimated 7.7 Billion people on the planet right now.

HNY to you! I particularly love the first photo of this post. Shows how reading takes us into other worlds… Unusual to see something like this happening at Shakespeare & Co – usually ppl are too busy taking selfies & trying to look cool there…
