I still remember thinking as a young person (now 50+) that it was stupid leaving all these lights on at night, particularly corporate logos on buildings.

I've moved out of the city and can see most of the stars still, although my eyesight is now failing and I can't see stars I used to...

We are becoming inwardly and selfishly focused as a species and disconnected to the world the alone the rest of the solar system/universe.
