The greatest unexplored landscape is the garden of your mind. A close second for unexplored landscapes is Proxima b and likely in third place are the collective depths of the ocean floor.
But back to the first placeholder. The mind is a wild and complicated place. Partially because in this day and age there are so many layers and theories surrounding how and why we think. Partially because no one truly knows anything about why we think or what exactly thought entails. What if a human’s consciousness is far more magical than anyone ever predicted?
Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and Descartes are a few of the hallmark names of philosophy and often even their great minds came up with more notable inquiries than answers.
They are famous for their unique ability to not only transcend the general day to day mysteries and ask the larger questions about why and how we exist, but also for their ability to describe and translate these profundities into words. With endless debate and trains of thought it is impossible to not become entangled in the idea of thought.
This land where we think, dream, and understand is so magical and surreal. It literally takes an entire life and the mind never becomes stagnant. This endless opportunity for wondering and wandering and internal fantasy makes the mind hold on to the number one spot no matter what.
Thinking about thought and dreams and consciousness gets me twisted in the same way that contemplating the stars and otherworldly possibilities that exist on a planet only 4.25 light years away. Proxima b is the closest to a real life occurrence to a parallel universe.
That's insanity. Worlds wars and a whole new way of thinking about how life works. It's another infinity. The possibility of extraterrestrials or simply a extra place to prove that we are not truly alone.
Then there's the depths of ocean. How can we attempt to look inward or out of our world without first discovering what is to be found in the water that takes up a majority of the surface of the Earth.
There are simply (literally and theoretically) infinite pathways to wander down. It's debatable whether as humans we are ready to explore these great wildernesses. But one thing is for sure there is no way that we know anywhere near everything, maybe even anything.
