It never ended, and who knows if it ever will. You always hear the euphemism "born too late to explore the world, too early to explore space" parroted by the masses. The reality is that many of the world's extreme regions are still unexplored on foot. I was looking up some maps and statistics yesterday, and I noticed a misunderstanding about mapped vs. explored. Satellite digital mapping has allowed humanity to allegedly (discussion for another time) map nearly 100% of the surface of the earth. But just because it's mapped does not mean it's been explored. Along the lines of 90% of the Alaskan wilderness and 80% of the Canadian wilderness have not been officially touched by human foot. There are entire mountain ranges, volcanoes, valleys, canyons, and countless terrain features that are basically untouched and unnamed (like Alaska's "Hidden Mountains" and Katmai National Park's unnamed volcanoes) due to utter remoteness, perilous threats, and nearly impassible terrain.
This is even more true in the countless equatorial jungles and rainforests scattered throughout Latin/South America, central Africa, and east Asia. Jungles so dense, water-logged, and remote that it's virtually unthinkable for 99.99% of normal people to ever set foot there. There are undoubtedly (and even officially suspected) lost civilizations and archeology, untouched tribes, and undiscovered species in all of these areas.
Unfortunately I don't know if this really matters. Most people can't even drag them out of their front doors to explore their immediate 50 miles without checking their phone's GPS programmed with perfectly tailored routes and destinations. Good luck even tearing them away from a gaming console on a Saturday night. I think for most people , the Faustian spirit is dead. They really don't care to do much with their days, they only like the thought of doing so. They don't want actual adventure; they just want digitized adventure as an escapism. The "age of adventures is dead" mantra is more or less just a pop culture thing for people to say because they have nothing better to say.
many a sworde, clutched firm in hande, a speare-wound bare upon bloodied breast! The humble polearm ben the true Meister of the carrione-fielde, nix the sworde!"
Yet upon coming into wealthe, a shyninge sworde they purchase with haste!
Curious!
i have an unsusal sense of humor, i used to like r/schizoposters because they used to allow really edgy memes but they got banned. Does anyone know of a replacement?
