Very interesting, but I’d like artist Theo Jansen never use terms such as evolution/life/surviving for his creations.

Richard Feynman Quote
“I have a friend who’s an artist and has sometimes taken a view which I don’t agree with very well. He’ll hold up a flower and say “look how beautiful it is,” and I’ll agree. Then he says “I as an artist can see how beautiful this is but you as a scientist take this all apart and it becomes a dull thing,” and I think that he’s kind of nutty. First of all, the beauty that he sees is available to other people and to me too, I believe. Although I may not be quite as refined aesthetically as he is … I can appreciate the beauty of a flower. At the same time, I see much more about the flower than he sees. I could imagine the cells in there, the complicated actions inside, which also have a beauty. I mean it’s not just beauty at this dimension, at one centimeter; there’s also beauty at smaller dimensions, the inner structure, also the processes. The fact that the colors in the flower evolved in order to attract insects to pollinate it is interesting; it means that insects can see the color. It adds a question: does this aesthetic sense also exist in the lower forms? Why is it aesthetic? All kinds of interesting questions which the science knowledge only adds to the excitement, the mystery and the awe of a flower. It only adds. I don’t understand how it subtracts.”
The marriage of science and art can be even more lovely.

Ho trovato questa scritta durante un’incantevole passeggiata serale per le viuzze di Trastevere. Non ho potuto che frenare il tacco, ed immortalarne la bellezza.

mutualassureddistraction asked: 13: On the state? I'm dubious: I do admire social achievements (mass education, scientific research, public healthcare, facilities) gained in the last centuries thanks to a great instrument such as the centralized State but, at the same time, I abhor the ominous consequences (genocides, ethnocides, ecocide, etc.) of such a great powerful machine. Sometimes Anarchism appears to me a good answer but how to deal with a world inhabitated wit 9 billions people or more? (Thanks)
