Where Are We? The Vertigo of Place
Do we ultimately know where we are?
Just as the speaker says "...I had thought in terms of man's own limited dimension, I had presumed upon nature, that existence begins and ends is man's conception, not nature's". In our early school age years, we have been taught our location by means of a globe, maps, and books as well as mankind's perception of "where we are", but ultimately, no, we do not know where we are.
Much like the video describes, we live in a city within a state that lies on a country which is part of a planet that sits in this immense universe, but there is no clear and true answer as to where we really are. What does our universe sit on? Is there ever a concrete end and explanation to our location? That has yet to be discovered.
