How much do you flinch?
Last night I wanted to watch a nature show, and I found this one: ‘Galapagos: Realm of Giant Sharks’
It starts like this (see Photo One):
A remote island in the Pacific Ocean.
This is planet Earth, nothing is remote on Earth. If it were on Mars, now that would be remote.
Then it goes (see Photo Two):
A place forgotten by time…
Time forgets things? What would that be called? Time amnesia? Long-term, short-term? “Hey, Time, where’s that Galapagos island?” Time: “I don’t know, let me ask Gravity.” Should we start addressing this Time Amnesia? I mean, if Time starts forgetting places, people, etc. then we’ll have a problem. Actually, if you think about it, some people today sound a little like they’ve been forgotten by Time.
Then it says:
How can it be that we know more about mice and ants than we do about the whale shark?
Well, let’s see… Have you seen mice? Yes!!! Have you seen ants? Yes!!! Do you see whale sharks every day? No!!!!!
Then later in this show, some guys stab a whale shark to attach a tracking tag so they can track her. And a person says about the whale shark: “She barely flinched.” Hello???? You know what ‘barely flinched’ means? That the whale shark flinched a little. That’s what Google is going to start doing to us soon, if we won’t be forgotten by Time, and then Google will say: “That woman barely flinched when we stabbed her to attach the Google tracker.”
See you,
