Flawless launch of JWST. To see it take off beautifully is a testament to the hard work of all personnel involved. I'm sure the science that will come out of it will inspire an entire generation of children and students to be - curious and keep an open mind.
I like to think of this launch and all the other space missions (past, present and the ones scheduled or in the process of ideation) as akin to a Monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. All our missions are the monoliths guiding humanity to push the frontiers of knowledge and explore.
A gem of a movie by Sidney Lumet - Network (1976)
Trying to understand the world as it is today is tough! Marx's ideas looks like a good starting point and perhaps navigating further back based on how it sits in my mind. A constant state of contradictions all around which could ultimately lead to an elevated system of equality. Somehow the idea of "matter preceding thought" seems raw. More digging required.
