Russ W. said: ""We've put them on the big screen at the local theater, and last night they were projected, to dramatic effect, on a big rock promontory at the 'Art in the Canyon' festival. We've also included your 'Muthzoom13.wmv' viddie in the program at these events, and the response has been enthusiastic. Can you go a few light years deeper? We'll have to hook up off-list to discuss this in more depth."" Why Muthzoom viddie? It's cool but not at all the best thing there. Been to my site lately? Try Chrysalis, Tesselations, Cathedral of Chaos, Crown of Creation, Eye of Hell, Psychotomimetic. Not to mention YOUR formula viddies on the extension page (link at the top). Those should go over well with any tripped out California crowd. A few lite-years deeper? Muthzoom is only E+19. Check out the Universe viddies. How does E+89 grab ya!? And #5 goes to E+38, I think it is the best one. Now clones. A few humble thoughts. The greatest danger with a cloned population is the lack of genetic diversity, which in turn creates an exceptional sensitivity to adverse environmental stimuli, such as chemical toxin, pollution, disease vectors, and predators. An entire system can be wiped out, whereas a natural "wild" population will always have enough diversity to adapt, evolve and survive. Farm animals and plants are not strictly clones, but have low genetic diversity thru selective breeding and development over centuries. See how easy and often it happens that these populations are devastated by hostile microorganisms, environmental toxins, insects, etc. A significantly large cloned human population is highly unlikely even after the technology is perfected. Why do it? I think people would just want to clone relatives that met an untimely demise. No it wouldn't be the same exact person, but close ... And why are there moral objections to cloning, which if nothing else is the creation of life, and yet abortion, which is the unjust taking of life, is ok - even a sacred constitutional right? go figure. Are FRACTALS clones? Do they not clone themselves inside out as you zoom in or around? Self-Similarity ... Stay Amazed JoTz
