icy tales, random museums


Incredible journey:
Pink and Abby brave the elements in this compelling tale of two kittens who cross an icy, post apocalyptic landscape in search of the human who once gave them tuna.







the happy ending has them snoozing, and dreaming of past struggles and triumphs on the ice, a la Island MacKenzie











Humans were not built for too many choices. Marketing is a very very recent phenomena. our ancestors couldn't possibly imagine having a choice in what they ate or wore or did. Choice disturbs our limbic brain. It causes anxiety and cancers. Nothing was ever accomplished by anyone who had a choice. go ahead. prove me wrong.

But, choice is here to stay. so we need to evolve new brain circuits to handle it. Perhaps we can recruit some other organs such as the liver, or heart, to process choices. Perhaps new senses are in order. New implants. Borg technology, or AI interfaces. I, for one, am fully, FULLY prepared to embrace the new transhuman paradigms. Sign me up. Right away, please, there's not much time.
