Why does anthropology stir us so deeply?
Especially the sites of ancient people. Kostenki, for example.
This is us.
We lived there, hunted mammoths. Used their skulls to fence in our dwellings. Walked dozens of miles a day, hungry. Huddled by the fire, pressed close to each other, afraid of the dark.
And all around, the same Nature. The same rivers, the grass in spring, the Sun!
We were that then, we are that now, we will be that tomorrow. There is no time. Everything exists all at once, in this one moment. The child, the adult, the elder. Everything is now.
Why does Time exist? It deceives. It lures, tempts like a carrot before a donkey. I want to grow up. I want children. I want to do things for my children. I want grandchildren. I want to do things for my grandchildren. I want nothing.
Biology. Deception. A bad infinity. No satiation. A game without a result?
But how should it be? What is the ideal world? Born – okay. You live, you feel – okay.
You find your Task – excellent. You fulfill it and die at peace. Perfect!
The key is to fulfill your duty. If you could also see God, that would be absolutely top-notch!
Life is not meaningless. Pay your debt.
If you haven’t found your Task, then give your hours of labor. Many hours.
Go after the mammoth, in short.
