Why do the things that blow your mind have to be simple? You’re brain is more developed now so things that are more complex can blow your mind, because now you can comprehend them. And just like these “complex” things can still blow our minds, they would be mundane to a more intelligent race. It’s not about losing your childlike wonderment. It’s about finding things that you can chase the same type of feeling with your more developed sense of the world.

Wow I think this holds a lot of merit

I think I can definitely still find a ways to find joy and wonder in the simple things, but you’re right about my brain being more complex so it taking more complex things to get mind blow

It only makes sense that as my brain scaled the threshold for awe increased too

Thanks for this insight 😄

Absolutely! I feel like I went through something similar recently. Oddly enough, I started to feel that same sense of wonderment delving into litigation of esports and the video game industry (I’m a lawyer) but currently practice in a field in which I have no interest. Keep that inner sense of wonder alive brother!
