I asked gemini to edit an image. I didn't know it was a perfectionist. 😂
The loop never ended, I had to stop it.
I never got my "perfect" image.

Japanese word of the day.
Yūgen
A subtle, unseen depth—felt rather than shown—where mystery lingers just beyond perception and moves the heart beyond words.
幽玄
“Yugen” is an old Japanese word that represents profound beauty and mystery. It suggests true beauty lies in what is unseen and unfathomable. Yugen encourages us to find wonder in the unknown and embrace the mysteries of existence.

🚨 By the 2030s, all major eye diseases — even forms of blindness — may become fully curable.
And this week, something extraordinary happened:
A 76-year-old Israeli woman had her vision restored using the world’s first 3D-printed cornea.
No donor.
No waiting list.
Just science, courage, and light.
Using a tiny sample of human corneal cells, researchers bioprinted a full, functional cornea — a living implant created entirely in a lab.
One small donor sample can produce hundreds of corneas. This single innovation could end the global shortage of donor tissue forever.
And then came the moment no one will ever forget:
Doctors placed the lab-grown cornea in her eye…
She blinked…
And saw the world again.
A physician at the center of the breakthrough said it best:
“This transplant is a moment of real hope for millions.
It’s the first time a lab-made cornea from human source cells has restored sight in a human being.
This isn’t just scientific progress — it’s historic.”
Imagine what this means:
📌 People waiting years for a cornea — healed in days.
📌 The end of preventable blindness worldwide.
📌 A future where losing your vision isn’t a life sentence… but a solvable problem.
The future of medicine is not coming.
It’s here.
And it’s restoring sight — one miracle at a time.

I asked AI to describe the experience of being a human being in a superspecies perespective.
It took a nudge or two to get it, but eventually it spat out this:

ELON MUSK: “Douglas Adams' book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, is actually a deep book on philosophy disguised as humor. And the point he was trying to make in that book was that the questions are really the hard part. The answer is the universe.”
"When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say".
