“There is another type of fiction which we create all the time to glorify ourselves and denounce others. We backbite more and praise less. We project ourselves as smarter than what we actually are and discredit the smartness of others. We cover our follies and believe that we are great, good and virtuous and brand others as evil and vicious.”

My greatest hope is that humans create a self-sustaining city on Mars, In the vast universe, human civilization is like a faint little candle, like a little shimmering light in the void. When the sun expands one day and the Earth is no longer habitable, we can fly to a new home in a spaceship. If humans can inhabit other planets, it means that they have passed one of the conditions of the great screening of the universe, then we will become interplanetary citizens, and human civilization will be able to continue.

Bridging both lower and higher realms, the hero points in both
directions, yet he focuses his vision upward, aligned with the light in
his heart. First symbolized in alchemical engravings, the Monochord is a
single strand strung from Heaven to Earth. We are that string and God
tunes us.

White cube
Refers to a certain gallery aesthetic characterised by its square or oblong shape, white walls and a light source usually from the ceiling
The aesthetic was introduced in the early twentieth century in response to the increasing abstraction of modern art. With an emphasis on colour and light, artists from groups like De Stijl and the Bauhaus preferred to exhibit their works against white walls in order to minimise distraction. The white walls were also thought to act as a frame, rather like the borders of a photograph. A parallel evolution in architecture and design provided the right environment for the art.
In 1976 Brian O’Doherty wrote a series of essays for Artforum magazine, later turned into a book called Inside the White Cube, in which he confronted the modernist obsession with the white cube arguing that every object became almost sacred inside it, making the reading of art problematic.

Avoidable human misery is more often caused not so much by stupidity as by ignorance, particularly our ignorance about ourselves.
