That was a good one.

Thanks. Conferences… not my thing.

You might have been nervous, but you don’t

know how insanely hard it is to get

something not a placebo.

I can imagine, though.

Don’t. That cancer thing was from Julianne,

wasn’t it?

Sorry about that.

No. It’s good. Awareness is the start for

everything. The rest is up to them. We

can only hope they don’t feign ignorance.

Guess who now have a loooot of plants now?

Like so much they don’t know what to do with it

It’s getting hard to move around here.

Wow, calm down.

Hard to do that. We don’t have much time left. I’m

not the sort to talk about redemption, but when it’s

like this

Well, at least we tried?

A good question here I would like to address:

The old poems talks of nature a lot. How can we analyze them when we don’t know what it speaks of?

Well, stick to the textbook, kids. Read them, you might get an answer or two.

   Hey, I’ve been doing the research you asked. Don’t sweat it. It’s just my adorable little spiders crawling into the dusty cellars of the web—its home, let’s just say. And man, aren’t the 2000’s logs dusty.

   Biodiversity is a way for the ecosystem to survive all sorts of disasters. When one species dies, at least there are some other variations or something to that effect. Not to mention biodiversity is also that very neat thing that gives us all the nice things we eat. I’m now very pro-biodiversity.

   From the bottom of the old food chain, diverse plants mean more food for herbivores. From the top, having carnivores helps maintain a balance so there’s enough grass to go around. It’s a delicate thing. Topple the scales and things go crazy. I think it already is, by now.

   According to the logs, we had something like several millions species and now we’re down to… Well, pretty low. I don’t think many have the records nowadays. Not a lot of biologists are into that field now. Everyone’s making synthetic meat. It’s weird how decades ago, synthetic meat is like the grossest thing since orange juice after brushing your teeth.

   So love whatever we have now! They might look a bit weird, but we do need them. Metals don’t maintain balance. It’s gonna slap us in the face sometime in the future, I could tell.

   Metals and holograph projections don’t really feel as magical as nature itself. But yes, all the details you could possibly want is in that zipped file. Hope you have 1 gigabyte to spare for that.

PS. I added something about ozone. I mean, we both know Erne. We both know he’s dying from skin cancer. Thought you might want to add that or something.

It’s a touchy subject, but… There’s no avoiding truth.

     “If the doors of perception were cleansed.”

When you consider only this part of the quote, William Blake made a rather interesting point. What would happen if the doors of perception were cleansed?

     I suppose it would be for the better. I love humanity, really. I try, at least. They make it hard sometime. We never learn. We’re like a kid with minus 8 glasses that’s never cleansed.

     With the technology these days, I really wonder if glasses even need manual cleansing anymore. Everything is mechanical and fast. The only surviving minority that would dirty their hands is the artists. Bless them. Not even Biologists go down to the field anymore. I’ve heard they used to actually jump down to jungles, like Borneo, and sit for days to wait for a new species to pass by. Then again, that part of history is told only through books. I don’t even know if it’s true. It’s kind of sad.

     Losing my train of thought here. Well, if we cleansed the doors of perception, perhaps we’ll find the infinity we have searched for so long. The abstraction comes from nature, and why wouldn’t we find it there?

     The more important part is the cleansing, though. How do one clean perception when you don’t know it’s dirty? I’m already grasping at straws here. Maybe one day we’ll find out. Hopefully we’ll still be alive by then.
