I'll never understand the "born too late to explore Earth" line, given how much of the modern world is opaque to the average Terminally Online Person.
Its shocking to see how many people are unfamiliar with their own home cities. Relatively few people take the time to explore their states or countries to any serious degree.
Don't believe these lies. Take a fucking road trip down I-10 or up I-35 or the 101. Go backpack through Europe for a season. Save up for a year and go bike the Great Wall. Go climb Machu Pichu before you develop Plantar fasciitis or bad knees. Find a gig that puts you on the road and spend a few years doing contract work in India or Tunisia or Johannesburg. Its not too late. It was never too late. There's so much of the world you'll never see until you go there yourself.
I think the meme is about a semantic difference between traveling and exploring.
now is a better time to explore earth than ever before, you can actually travel to Amazon and not die, face an animal and shoot it dead instead of dying, and even document it and go back home in a matter of a day
The implication being exploring means discovering unknown things. (Aware of the Colonialism implications)
Traveling (especially with the safety of the modern day) is comparatively just tourism.
