  Wow! What a deep topic, for sure. I’ve always said that the second we have the ability to regenerate nerve tissue it will be the biggest revolution not only in medical history, but human history itself. It will make this so-called ‘AI revolution’ look cartoonish.
  
  Love the ABBA Italian quatrains you used to structure your work, and the technical diction you employ (e.g. telomeres) adds to the poem’s sophistication.
  
  Excellent work as usual. You never, NEVER select topics that are commonplace—a virtue in your writings that I always have admired. more »

    Thanks for the praise and your observations.
    
    On this subject, l was actually doing some reading about cosmology, quantum theories, and the computational dynamics’ view that the universe is basically one big computer processor compiling data. My thinking is, that data can logically be manipulated and so the phenomenon of reversing the aging process was always achievable. It's Interesting that you mention revolutions: it seems that every successive human revolution has interfaced, arisen, and been born out of the previous ones as the progressing technology and discoveries provide a continuing foundation. And this notion that the universe is a computer has been around for over a century now, so it stands to reason that set the groundwork for the advancements we’re seeing now (like my poem’s topic and AI, as you pointed out).
    
    I am pondering submitting something a little more ‘down to earth’ though, because honestly, l knew this had no shot to place. I do like to gravitate beyond the laymen realms! I’m noticing there is always a genuine, humanity-esque aspect to the winning poems or a poetic-gimmick that sets it apart and collectively wins them over. I’m starting to think I have to get more creative or else just sit back and continue to spectate in these contests. I continue to enjoy being a part of them though and the temptation and curiosity to see if someone may respond to my style remains. Thanks for being a sounding-board among folks who maybe aren’t overly fascinated with ‘fringe’ topics. Incidentally, my Mother is having some health issues so my participation in forthcoming ones may not be a forgone conclusion.
    I thought ‘Candy Land’ was unique and certainly possessed that IT FACTOR that I’m speaking to.
    Catch you around ~ more »
