It's profound because it's a reframing - we lose assumptions by viewing the Earth from Space.

- nhebb 16y agoThe author looked at a night photo of one part of the world and made a wispy proclamation on par with a John Lennon song. Nice idea when you're stoned, but he doesn't really expound on the thought to any depth. It's not profound. One of my favorite shows is The Sons of Anarchy, a modern day take on Hamlet with a motorcycle club as the back drop. The club was established on the principles of anarchist writer Emma Goldman, and it's interesting how they portray the world of anarchy. As a biker gang, they reject the laws of the world at large, but they seek order at a tribal level, with a president and VP of the club. They want to maintain peace in their hometown, but their quests are geared toward survival and prosperity. It's just a TV show, though. It's not profound. But as a microscopic view of what a borderless world might look like, it's a better starting point that a night photo of the Nile.
