It feels reassuring that none of these surprised me, and I strive towards a lot of these views/learnings already. Hopefully a good sign! Packard's writings help give me a little more clarity too, especially when written in such a thoughtful way. Very cool <3

I still have my first edition Cave of Time. I don't think it's a first printing though but still, when they came out it was simply awesome. I got the first 6 books in a pack for my birthday, I shared them later on with my children and they loved them too when they were young.

Another old person thinking they figured out life... Most humans have this idea of what a human should be, what a human should feel and how a human should treat others. The result is dismissive of other humans that dont strive to be happy or a "good person". Its the same with people who have a family and kids that become dismissive of every other way of life, that doesn't include a wife or kids. Too bad it took them 90 years to build up this very limited outlook on life.
