If Jim said that I think he would have pointed out who said it first. He was a proponent of self education after all.

People on their own usually go for a wrong direction, instead they need helps from others to overcome the problem!

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 😄

Hahaa that’s an unexpected but likely accurate response
The “do you ever notice” jokes probably make your brain do pattern recognition in real life to find those fun things as often as it can
Thanks for sharing that 😄
