I just spent nearly two weeks in Israel and Jordan on a family vacation. We saw amazing sights and met fascinating people. More than with other travel, and [maybe due to some recent reading](https://continuations.com/post/185025131305/blogging-break), the trip crystallized three insights for me 

1\. Humanity is capable of pulling off incredible projects  

2\. Humanity’s progress is fragile and large scale reversions happen

3\. Religion is a terrible affliction for humanity

I plan to write more about each of these in the coming weeks.
