Congratulations on the well deserved blue
There is still someone who gave you a 1, how rude and unfair.

Very disturbing image Christophe~ Looking forward to reading the notes. I'm trying to work out what a jug of water and sink-hole drains embedded in one's forehead are picturing, I'm sure with your wild imagination you will come up with something that either makes sense to you, and no one else.

Sometimes I think you're an alien. Where the hell you find all that inspiration to each time come with such a great concept. A 9 from me.

One individual who opened himself up for nourishment. I'm sure there is more here than my eye can unscramble right now.

Oh I didn't realize that! You mean when young?

As always, Christophe, an exceptional image!

As regards your philosophical musings, consider investigating "Holarchy" in contrast and distinction to "Hierarchy." It's a relational distinction/shift to what is an otherwise vertically-oriented hierarchal system. Holarchy deals more with what is both a horizontal and vertical relationship -- the whole supports the parts as the parts support the whole.

At a deeper level, our world is based and premised on a Dualistic mind and mentality: either/or; subject/object, separation/division (both within and between). Consider exploring Non-Dual philosophy and what is the essential non-dual nature (Oneness) that underlies the perceived Dualistic conception/perception/experience upon which our world and all of its systems and structures are based.

Hi Christophe, congratulations on the Blue.

I think the distracting element is the white streetlights. Or maybe the white edge of the feather boa at her shoulder.

In answer to your philosophical question: this planet is a wonderfully diverse place. Each species has diversified as much as it can. The research you mention is already ongoing, with the best minds the human race has to offer hard at work on it. The best minds at other things are hard at work on those too. Humans are hard at work at everything we can think of. If I could, I would do something to change the way our children are educated, to maximize whatever each child has to offer.

For most of the life forms on this planet, life has little more to offer than staying alive long enough to reproduce. That is true of some humans, too, but not all.
