ALMA...femme fatale?...muse?...inspiration?...composer...
the advertisement is from a 1959 science fiction magazine with some very good writing
the baby horned lizard almost made me want to "rescue" it but I figured I would let nature take its course
I watched some very good YouTube presentations over the last couple of weeks..."Lone star pork; Texas hog Meateater (21 min)... and "I can't believe that this really happened"(22 min) ..Sabine Hossenfelder...yep she got booted from her university position for being a heresiarch...called too many ideas "bullshit"...certainly the funniest physicist since R. Feynman...and also in the funny category is "Nina Conti's swearing monkey puppet"..the ventriloquist...rather than go to bed with negative thoughts i look at comedy and music in the evening ( I usually turn in about 8 PM) ...jimmy Carr is pretty hilarious...and very quick...the colt clark family band has several hundred tunes picked by the best dad ever who has created a good group of musicians from what was initially a novelty act...also I found a wonderfully uplifting presentation with 4 year old Claire Ryan and dad singing "You've got a friend in me" I think a randy Newman tune...she has many presentations as her latest one has her as a 12 year old vocalist...then there are the PsycHacks of dr Orion Taraban presentations...he posted one recently which I found quite startling..."AI relationships..."the future of dating"...his advice is that it is better to have a mediocre relationship with a computer program than a bad relationship with a person....how about a relationship with nature...Dr. A. Huberman in his great interview with dr David deSteno "Science of God and Faith" (2:24:18) says his relationship with God makes him never lonely...sounds good to me...in contrast to the obsidian edged tools there is another way to make edged tools as seen in "Most Amazing process of making skinner knife" (22 min.)...quite complex actually...as I see more and more energy being used to hurdle humanity into a dubious future of uncontrolable complexity I am glad to have been fortunate enough to have sidestepped machinery beyond my control...wheelbarrow and shovel served me well...just bought another solar cooker ( I have 3 now) which can cook a potato in 25 minutes....and bakes bread too...more simpler is more better maybe...
