I can't fucking wait. Les go.

Famed Jungian analyst Marie Louise von Franz once said that our modern culture’s appetite for science-fiction means that, on an unconscious level, we have given up on Earth.

I don't believe that's necessarily true, though. It's in our nature to crave more and to wonder about the beyond. I don't think we've given up on Earth, but I do think it has lost its mystery. Humans need mystery, a darkness to wonder about and guess at. It doesn't mean they don't also need/ believe in that which is conquered already (aka the light) also.

I heard Peterson say it's because we are Christians that we feel this impulse to reach for the sky. Don't ask why...
