Peacock Armor
that's a lot of feathers just to get laid.

Survival of the individual is inconsequential, according to the latest in evolutionary thought. Perpetuation of the genes is paramount.

Look no further than the peacock. If you saw one for the first time in a painting, you might well presume the thing to be merely a figment of the artist's imagination. Whatever delights to the eye, the imaginary bird's tail feathers would obviously attract the attention of predators. In the wild, no bird so heavily laden would even be able to fly.

Ah, but the peacock has his tail feathers because peahens like them.

I got to feel sorry for them

Intelligent design

this all running threw me like a current
all the tiny pieces at my command
and when they slip away
each atom still entangled up in one

it has been fun
this thing called life
I mean my life
my life as a peacock

autopoietic
I think I will learn how to spell that word. I need the mental challenge to stay awake. oie, Henry Miller too fucking good, I picked up Love In The Ruins again read ten pages it was too good, had to put it down, I picked up God Bless You Mr Rosewater again. almost through it but it is too good so I only read a page or two at a time.

Here is one with an article about Camus that is probably too good to read too.

Sitting on a million dollar lotto wining ticket in my pocket I am going to sign up for a subscription to every obscure scholarly journal I can find From Modern Judaica to Analecta Husserliana

for the relief of man's estate
what good does it do
just for laughs
even god sits in his heaven and laughs

Autopoiesis
The term was introduced in 1972 by Chilean biologists Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela:


Autopoiesis (from Greek αυτό (auto), meaning "self", and ποίησις (poiesis), meaning "creation, production") literally means "self-creation",
