Will We Learn To Stand on the Shoulders of Giants?

Use your Wernicke’s area if not the shoulders…

One can only grasp the grandeur of the world when standing on the shoulder of giants

Why are so many youngsters… 
obsessed with height?
or other physical might?

Mighty chad
Bloated chest
Attracting stares like magnets
Can they ever match the sublime Everest?

Insta follower
Burj Khalifa
Quantifying brilliance with numbers
Can their numbers ever match Euler’s?

Why not listen to Newton…
to climb the ladder?
onto a giant’s shoulder?

Karat gold
Fashion show
No one cares after thirty years old
Can we stop setting records of new lows?

Genius idea
Genuine laughter
These are the things that truly matter
Can we finally achieve eudaimonia…together?
