Read the book "One hundred years of solitude" by Marquez.

It may seem that the world in infinitely complex, but when you get older, you will start to foresee things. Instead of "new and interesting" you will think "just as expected". At least this is how my perception of the world evolved, and apparently Marquez also experienced this and wrote a book. About it? Maybe...

Anyway, the history of civilizations repeats itself, art is subjective, science is just an exceptionally large heap of ordinary facts (and theoretical science is handwaving), etc...
