COUNTER CURRENTS: Some thoughts about extinction IMAGE: A segmented fish and watery reflections and a disjointed conversation. Jules: What I like most about this art is that it requires no thinking. Ellesha: The best way to think is to take a vacation from thinking for a while – turn off the intellect for ah period, then switch it back whun needed. Philyra: The problem is that too many people are in permanent non-thinking mode. Their intellects seldom switch on. Soo: On the other hand, too much intellect with too little conscience – isn't dat a recipe fer disaster? Andrei: There are many recipes for disaster. In fact, nearly everything we say amounts to nonsense if carried out to its logical conclusion. ===================================================================================== from _Let the waters be my witness: Messages about our watery world_ by T Newfields SUMMARY: graphic poem and conversation about some dystopian scenarios for tomorrow.
