He wasn’t going to keep those 27 years anyway, and climbing the career ladder, having a few kids and steadily paying off a mortgage must have somehow not seemed like a compelling alternative

This is amazing but I genuinely wonder if he’ll regret doing it once he’s done. Thats a huge chunk of your life to devote to one thing.
Cant deny he’ll be making history though.

He’s already made the Fellowship of the Ring look like lightweights

He sits down in his old local pub and catches up with old mates after finally completing his journey. His mate Dave points out that he completely missed Africa. Off he goes again.

Monks devote their lives to one thing. Many craftsmen devote their lives to one thing. Activists, philosophers, doctors, diplomats, bakers. Devoting your life to a specific thing can be enriching.

I mean… Isn’t that how humanity rolls? Historically speaking anyways, 99 out of 100 people live and die close to where they were born, while the oddball goes and does a Leif Erikson for his whole life and then we get Iceland. His psychology compels him to do this.

I love Senku’s speech in Doctor Stone where he tells Tsukasa that his plan to hold back humanity’s technology forever was doomed from the start. Because some human beings are insane and will spend their entire lives trying to do something that nobody else thought of. And over enough thousands of years, this process will inevitably result in someone walking on the moon. Science is madness and it’s built in to humanity.
