🧠 Have you been musing over the Neuralink breakthroughs? The first patient was able to play one of his favourite games, chess, using just his mind with the implanted device [link inside].
🤖 A lot of focus is placed on the action half of the nervous system: movement; I am equally fascinated by what the other half, sensation, holds in store for our future selves. Crystal clear full spectrum vision? Customisable sensory sets that perhaps create species of their own - the UV people, the miniature people, the fliers, the deep ocean breathers... 🤿
📸 But while I'm still in mine, and committed to making the most of it, and having promised you the new season of upgraded photography with my new eyes, attitude, feeling, and camera (that one helps!), here we go [pictures inside].
Some species (mosses!) just like to keep things simple. And to circle back to Neuralink co-founder Elon Musk, one of the nice things he said, just as some people lump him in with history's greats, was that all good work is equally good, no matter its perceived level or importance.
We don't necessarily have to aspire to being like certain people, we can just enjoy being amongst them, and them amongst us.
And, finally, the flowering plants. The more evolved strategy of separating parts, only to then watch them go to the ends of the Earth to reach each other again.
A cruel strategy, one might say. A tease. Torture. And, yet, a very successful little game. 🎲
So, whether you want to throw yourself into the throes of sexual reproduction, pop in a Neuralink to transcend biology, or sit like a moss atop the world, watching it go by, there's probably a life with your name on it.
The world will be happy to have you, regardless of anything, just like the dandelions are happy to be yellow to me and blue to the bee. 🐝
