Ahh! With your synopsis and conclusions that you extract from it and apply to real-life, it now makes good sense. Especially with regard to inflation and the price of cheese. Your droll, adroit sense of humor always has a way of brightening things for me.
And yes to the notion that the flap of a butterfly's wings can be profound.
That video of the moon in the telescope captures humanity in its most beautiful, curious, astonished way. Thanks for that. (I've always had a thing for the moon five my surname).
We could skip rock from one astonishing revelation to the next, I'm sure... Look at
