  • Don’t give us too much credit just yet. Dinosaurs were around for about 180 million years.

    Our earliest ancestors are about 2 million years ago, our closest ancestors are about 300,000 years and our actual ancestors who are like us are only about 50,000 years.

    We’re still just a tiny blip in earth’s history and if we wipe ourselves out, it’ll be pretty hard for any future archaeologist to figure out who we were and what we did, or even to know that we were even here.
















  • Isn’t it just a limitation of human vision? No matter how much resolution we can create, the human eye will only ever see a certain level of resolution … anything beyond that is imperceptible to us. I think I remember reading that 4K is the maximum we can realistically appreciate and anything beyond that is impractical because no one would ever notice the difference.

    The only way higher resolutions work is if you start blowing up the size of the image itself. A 20" wide image at 720p looks good but the same image blow up to 60" becomes noticeably pixelated. A 20" wide image at 8K looks sharp and blown up to 60", it still looks sharp.
