The World is Just Awesome

You've probably already seen this one... For the Discovery channel.



This is a remarkably hopeful and humanist video.

It celebrates the world. Both the natural world and humanity's achievements. It literally goes from above the sky to the deepest oceans. It covers science, culture, engineering, the arts.

It doesn't just show the natural phenomenon but it has people trying to catalog, observe, understand it and just what humanity will do to get there.

This little commercial celebrates what it means to be human, to build, to learn, to explore.

It's nice to not have guilt laid on about being human, and to have something present just how –well- awesome the world is, and that humanity is the only species that can appreciate it.

Simply put... the world is awesome.

XKCD also did a comic on it today.
