Let's start the topic with a meaningful quotation,
“Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost“ - J.R.R Tolkien.

Scary, right?
We all think of ourselves very highly as a species because we are at the top of the food chain in the ecosystem. But what does the world say about it?
The world will move on more than just about fi...
