Arnside Everglades.

Fortunately there are no Alligators.

Baker’s Dozen Discussion Group this morning. Our member who chose the subject began by playing a DVD of the American singer Peggy Lee performing her hit song of the 1960s “ Is that all there is ?”  He went on to explain that the origin of the phrase could be traced to the writings of the German novelist Thomas Mann.
Our discussion went on the explore the nature and limits of the uniquely human qualities of intellectual curiosity. My view was that we are capable of discovering much more about nature, disease and ourselves. But I find it frustrating that we are unable to understand the purpose of the Universe and its origins. The recent discoveries of the James Webb Space Space Telescope   show that we are still capable of extending our knowledge and understanding.
