I had a dream once that I was an owl, vampire bat or an eagle flying through the night sky. It wasn't real but it was one the best dreams I've ever had.

what i wrote was fiction.

the idea behind the paragraph is that one of the first living entities on earth was a para hyper savant (a genius (beyond genius (beyond genius))) bacterium, and it solved the holy grail of all human endeavor (the "elixir of youth") in the first few hours of it's life that was supposed to last just one day.

the bacteria is still alive today because it got it right, and it has decided it has seen enough, but it is unable to commit suicide because it is physically incapable of doing so, and so it is therefore condemned to life after all other life has gone from earth, and will see the the death of the sun.

another sub thought about that is "alive somewhere on earth at this very minute, there is known the recipe for eternal youth. it is known by one single bacterium who solved it over 2 billion years ago, and who would gladly share the secret if it could".



it was a strange post i know and has inaccuracies (bacteria are not simple singled celled animals as i thought when i was a child, and bacteria can not see).

Again,

is it P?

is it P?

is it R?

Why are we even here?

But because I can be interested I will respond:

A nonquantifiable fraction of me is a creaky flabby aging primate.

My totem is the Raven - but there is a lot of Hermit Crab in me.

But yes - most of the weasel clan are.
