Cool. It behooves man to contemplate his significance relative to the universe. Observing our spatial and temporal unimportance thus, we’re afforded humility more edifying than any we may gain from all our anthropocentric models.
Well, maybe four minutes. Watched it straight two times, then third time slowed down speed to watch frame by frame to see all the info packed into the clip. Interesting to see one person’s idea of 1.7 billion years compressed into 1 minute.
#RuPaul had the unfortunate task of competing with me for audience last night since my @KITP_UCSB public talk coincided with his Santa Barbara appearance! On balance, I think we both probably did ok, audience-wise. Here’s a recording of my appearance.
T’was a brief but good trip to #nyc. Managed to accomplish everything I had planned (except for getting a replacement mudguard @bromptonjunctionny) and there were many wonderful unplanned moments too (such as sublime solos from #jeremypelt and #SullivanFortner at Small’s).
Made a tasty lemon-coconut tart offering as a last minute addition to the Easter dinner menu. Wasn’t too bad! (A better photo would have shown more of the rich yellow interior.) #foodanddrink

Oh, no, I meant the one person who put together the clip shown here.
It is a creative mini-compilation of our evolution, condensed into one minute!
By “one person’s idea” do you perhaps mean “the firmly established knowledge of many years of scientific research by many biologists”…?
