Vacation Insights

I just spent nearly two weeks in Israel and Jordan on a family vacation. We saw amazing sights and met fascinating people. More than with other travel, and maybe due to some recent reading, the trip crystallized three insights for me 

1. Humanity is capable of pulling off incredible projects

2. Humanity’s progress is fragile and large scale reversions happen

3. Religion is a terrible affliction for humanity

I plan to write more about each of these in the coming weeks.
