Dear Roger,

I agree with what you are saying about the eventuality of
discovering non carbon-based life forms, and as you will recall,
Leonardo itself published my short article on that very topic
(
https://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/abs/10.1162/leon_a_01222?journalCode=leon
).

But in the meantime, good people are dying from drugs and
suicide, and partly out of despair at the once high-paying
manufacturing jobs that have been lost to automation.

So here's a radical idea: what if some concerted efforts were
made to include "the man in the street" in that wonderful
world of high-tech creativity which we Yasminers share?

And as I've proposed elsewhere, could that not include an
online exhibition of citizen arts and crafts?

Glenn
