People Evolve

----
Brian Boyd rehearses the history of the rapid growth in hominin brain size over the past couple of million years, showing that with the development of the neocortex we’ve been endowed with all kinds of cleverness to compensate for the fact that we’re slow, weak, flat-toothed and clawless. We are thoroughly social creatures, and when we work together we can be formidable predators; accordingly, we’ve evolved various attributes that enable mutualism, such as shared attention, mirror neurons and theory of mind. The latter allows us access to something no other animal seems aware of, namely, the notion that other members of our species might have false beliefs. The survival value of art, then, is that it hones and enhances those functions of mind that in turn enhance our capacity for social interaction and exploration: “Art develops in us habits of imaginative exploration, so that we take the world as not closed and given, but open and to be shaped on our own terms.”"

You won't be needing this fail-switch. I am pardoned because I neck
To neck the whaling ships that are not different from our past.

To differ from paper, I do not know. Be that be they won't be all.

This Camera

Shutters abide by the half-lit cam
if it were the only clip your scene can attach.

Shutters feed from hidden numbers, you know that.
Shutters' real reel are like toes unmatched.

Shutters make itself against its other self.
Shutters paint this pain green.

Shutters' shudders' shake like shivering mono-sheeps:
when it closes and opens it scripts a clean blank screen.
