I've just begun listening to the Netflix series by Latif Nasser called Connections. Watching it reminds me of the feeling I had watching another documentary series on the same platform a few years ago. Information is all neat and organized and bite-size. I’m happy to see other people at work in other parts of the world; a woman who specializes in pre-historic human feces, a man who collects weevils in nets, out in the forest with his yellow notebook.
I feel inspired by these people who have carved for themselves a little space and brought something to our attention.
On the reverse of this awe, is also despair. Look how we are just beginning to understand the connections between the actions we take and their effects on nature. Nature! Our small human endeavours uncover facets and phenomena while climate change is happening and things feel irretrievable. What have we not already missed?
