  1. see. We have this pic now.

    I await your first piece written and posted in exile.

    I like that interesting thought about cave paintings, though I don't agree. I'm more of the belief that it was just a human need to explain / express / discuss (without words) / represent / attempt to make sense of that which surrounds - hence why artistic pursuits are eternal. This has always been the way.

  2. i think because the cave paintings were the first instance of such a thing, and the guy came up with a nice explanation. It is nice enough to think about, his little idea, that it doesn't need agreeing with.

  3. No. I meant more what my thinking of these developments were.
    I have a book on these development style thinkings that I plan to read.
    The Third Chimpanzee.

  4. A book "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" by a Julian Jaynes locates the emergence of self-consciousness in between the Aenid and the Odyssey, I think. Might be an interesting companion to the book you plan to read. And "The Inheritors" by William Golding.

    I am writing a new little book now. Don't know how to go about poetry things yet.

  5. I believe I meant the "Iliad". What is the "Aenid"?

    Probably a really compelling story-arc of hollyoaks.

    Human consciousness developed between two Hollyoak's omnibuses.

  6. Fantastic.

    Isn't Aenid a name? That old ladies have. Particularly old ladies in Liverpool and other Northern-ness.

    Sounds like an interesting book.
