I came across a lovely book the other day–Knowledge is Beautiful. Featured on the Wall Street Journal and The Guardian, this rich 256-page book visualizes captivating and intriguing patterns and connections across art, science, health, and pop.
Covering everything from dog breeds and movie plots to timelines of the far future and the complexity of relationships of the Middle East, this stunning book unveils the intricate, invisible and sometimes hilarious stories lurking in the data, information & knowledge surrounding us.
You can see an example of the amazing information on this page, which lists just how close to truth a selection of “Based on a True Story” movies really are: check out Based on a True Story for more!
But you can also check out the following infographic, perfect for sci-fi lovers (and, yes, nerds like me), called timelines of the far future:

Makes one really wonder about the purpose of living. Maybe I’m just in a mood, but the daily toiling and suffering of humanity comes off as silly when you see that we’re not even a blink in the history of existence. Even our own genetic code will turn on us according to this thing.

Which is why Epicurus famously said, “eat, drink, for tomorrow we may be gone.” Carpe diem, my friend 🙂

Love those types of quotes. Makes me think the past had more freedom and we can possibly return to it.
