This date has a lot of ones in it.
There’s…what? Like 5 ones in today’s date? Yeah. 5 ones. Wow.
I wonder what happened on 11/11/1111. The world population in the year 1111 AD was slightly less than the current population of the USA, so there couldn’t have been much going on back then.
I’m guessing the biggest headline on 11/11/1111 was something about, like, a bigger horseshoe crab than normal washing up on the beach, or some unexpected ancient kid winning an ancient chess competition (which would’ve been a modern kid winning a modern chess competition at the time).
There just wasn’t much happening back then. People were pretty lazy, right?
I mean, we’ve been around 300,000 years but haven’t begun industrializing until 100 years ago.
For 299,900 out of the 300,000 years that human beings have been around, people just screwed around all day, every day. They just sat around eating fruit and occasionally throwing sharp sticks at animals.
No, I don’t think we deserve the accolades that we award ourselves—we’re pretty disappointing.
We should be space faring by now, but instead we’ve so far dedicated literally 99.97% of all human existence towards clumsily painting wild animals on the insides of caves using blood and dirt.
Until next time,
Michael J. Erickson, CEO & Co-Founder
