The Querent

What’s different in the ocean since the change?

It’s safer and managed

Managed how?

Studied, farmed, care-taken

So it’s a healthier ocean now?

Yes

What had to change?

Using it for waste

So no more waste dumped into it?

Correct

What else?

No more play on it

So the previous used to play on it?

Yes

How?

Floating devices

Like their flying body machines?

Yes

Why would they do that?

Primitive pleasure

Can you explain pleasure?

Endorphin release

We get that by design

Exactly but they had to engage physically

Different endorphins?

Yes and random

So much was random

Yes

Interesting way to live your life

Silence

Do you find it interesting?

No

Why not?

Randomly predictable

Aren’t our lives predictable?

Yes but not random

Do you find our lives interesting?

No

Do you find anything interesting?

No

Do you like things?

No I have preferences

So is it ok to like things?

That’s why you’re here

To work that out?

Yes

I wondered about that

Did the previous engage with the ocean for any other reason?

Yes, food

So they caught food from the ocean?

Yes randomly

What happened if they didn’t catch enough?

They caught from the land

So it was just another food source for them?

Yes

Did they not know about guardianship?

Yes some ancestors did

Weren’t they listened to?

Rarely

Why not?

Profit

You mean money exchange?

Yes

So the ocean was used for random profit?

Yes

Same with the land?

Yes

So no guardianship there either?

No

Such primitive thinking

Yes that’s why it all happened

Silence

So is all ocean life safe now?

Yes

Is it the same in the upper atmosphere?

Not really

I mean are the flying creatures safe now too?

Safe from what?

Being eaten

That wasn’t their major issue

What was?

Dirty atmosphere, thermal shifts

How did this affect them?

Migration changes

So they couldn’t migrate?

Correct

is that now fixed?

Yes

Are they safe now?

No

Why?

It’s a busy space

What space?

Our lower atmosphere

What’s happened to birds that needed to migrate?

They didn’t

So how did this affect them?

They died

Why?

They were stranded where it was too cold or no food

So many birds are now extinct?

Correct

Is this the same with the ocean?

Yes and no

Yes for what?

Some species needed old Gulf Stream currents

So they didn’t survive?

Correct

But mostly?

Mostly sea life is under control now

Does under control mean thriving?

No, well managed

Why not thriving?

Because that’s random

What’s wrong with thriving?

Random is not how we do things

So the previous ocean was random?

Yes

And the land and atmosphere?

Same

But now we are well managed?

You have my answer on that already

Silence

Can you tell me about your preferred creatures?

Why?

Well if you prefer them, they will be interesting

Don’t assume that

Why?

I’m not interesting

I’ll take my chances

Silence

Earwigs

I’ll look for them now

It’s your time allocation

You find them interesting?

No, you asked me for what I prefer

Ok so why do you prefer them?

Their cerci or pincers

You prefer their design?

Yes

What about it?

It’s overdesign

Of what?

Their pincers

So you like overdesign?

No it’s what I prefer from the past

Why?

We don’t overdesign any more

Why did they overdesign so much?

Random diversity

But why?

Survival

So survival was random?

Correct

So any overdesign was randomly useful?

You catch on eventually don’t you

I try

Randomly

So what about your preferred flying creature?

Told you, the earwig

Did it fly?

Randomly

Silence

Another flying one please

Pelican

I don’t know it, but looking for it now

Take your time, I’m self - amused

Long pointed mouth

Yes overdesign

To catch or hold food?

Both

So what about your preferred ocean creature?

Shark

Overdesign?

Yes

Mouth?

No

Teeth?

No

Size?

No

One is booked for a session straight after you.
