What if yesterday you read an essay you really liked about the traditional misunderstanding of the story of the Tower of Babel and, intrigued by its description of Pieter Bruegel’s 1563 painting ‘The Tower of Babel’ searched for a photo of the painting on your computer and looked at it for a while and thought for a while.
….. And what if today a friend visiting the city brought you a book they “thought you would like“ from a second-hand book shop and the book was a book on Pieter Bruegel the Elder … who you had become aware of only the day before but had spoken about this to no one ⊹˚. ♡.𖥔 ݁ ˖

I sincerely believe that in every room, on every street, in every book or movie, no matter how banal, there is something that can help you think about the world in a new way.

when walking in the world and you see a place that makes you think: What goes on in there!?

just sitting on a bench, holding a book you haven't read in the last twenty minutes and watching all the people walk by. thinking all sorts of things. where are they headed to? what are their dreams? you will never know these people but isn't it incredible that you are both alive in this very moment, in this very park, in this world?
just two pebbles brushing past each other in an ever-flowing stream.

It’s funny being alive in the early rubbish days of AI.
Listened to my Wrapped Ai podcast on Spotify and got to experience my artificially-generated bodyless soulless ‘host’ chuckle and say ‘I can just imagine you strutting down the street listening to the BRAT album’
