YOU'LL BELIEVE IN ANYTHING



balance is the art of continuously falling
(YOU'LL BELIEVE IN ANYTHING)
a trip down future memory lane
(just believe in everything)

Things that are just not so special anymore:

the earth, not the center of the solar system;

humans, cognitively, not the only animal to use tools and pass the mirror test;

humans, genetically, share 90% of our genes with a cat.

So, also, there's not a whole lot of difference between dreaming, fantasy, and rational thought.

You can construct your own island of insanity in a sea of junk science!

This is the dream we all dream of (oh, please!  oh, the jelly matrix!) 


(i spent most of 2020 working on just 5 pieces, most of which were started years ago, and this one is the first one of those that I'm posting.  more to come; i'm wrapping this all up before moving to a new special mode of working.)
