We inhabit a planet in the universe that is brimming with strange and incredible things, like a real-life Wonderland.
But over time the excitement of discovery tends to fade, and the miraculous becomes mundane.
discover.earth is a place to rediscover the wonder that has always been out there – in nature, space, and our modern world – and it’s often more spectacular, complex, and beautiful than we could have ever imagined.
Our Story
Hey, my name is Ben McCarthy and Iβm the founder of discover.earth and author of The Big Ideas Network.
A few years ago I had my first psychedelic experience which was one of the most influential moments in my life.
Every leaf became a miracle, coordinating millions of cells in a delicate chemical mechanism more complex than anything weβve ever engineered, despite being made out of just dirt and air.
