Inventing something in my lifetime to better the world?
Inventions don't better the world, human consciousness betters the world. I don't care how [long] I live; I don't care when I live; I just want to know that I lived and lived with people who take life for what it is and bring me on that trip. Why take this world for anything more than it reveals? (Dispelling both the religious and scientific.) Write a book of poetry, live forever in a particular dualism; that will do one more good than living an additional ten years with a new heart valve or whatever and producing nothing. (This suggesting applies exclusively to those who want immortality; those who recognize their indifference need produce nothing.)
However, I would like to invent the C.B. Irvine Sea Turtle Refuge for future generations to admired the noble sea turtle. I think I've mentioned this is a previous blog, so I'll elaborate no further.
However, explaining why I love sea turtles, possibly more than humans, may be nice. Shell living is no picnic, and shell living is how I've lived my entire life. Nervous, afraid, self-protective, inhibited in every respect. I've chosen to break my own mold; I've chosen to live in a way befitting my indifference. Simply, I've chosen to live in a way that I'm utterly content with. I won't elaborate any further on the subject, but I do imagine this is how a sea turtle feels in refuge. Although he can never physically abandon his shell, allowing him to abandon his shell metaphorically, living without cruel predators or inhibitions, living to do whatever he wishes whenever he wishes, works well enough, in my opinion.
Well....
