I just published Waking Up In Hospital Get to this story before Visiting Hours are closed. Don't bring flowers. I can't smell them and I can't see much. Yet I am reciting in my mind and in silence the Dhammapada to brush up my Pali. And when I am finished with it, I just try to visualize in my mind the meditating sandstone disk that is turning in my inner vision, self hypnotizing myself with it, till I can finally see the sky through the window.

DANGEROUS GenAI? TRUE OR DEEP FAKE? YES OR NO?
Bernard Marr just published Generative AI in Practice (1), which brings together the matter he has been dealing with on his blogs: Artificial Intelligence from the simple practical point of view of a user along with a systematic question about what can the consequences be for the various jobs these users have? But the book is always schematic when it shows the negative consequences will not compare with the positive consequences, though bad or good, they will require a lot of changes in the way we work, the jobs available, and the mindset of the users.
Bernard Marr does not insist so much on the negative sides of GenAI, but he does list them, particularly all sorts of cheating by using GenAI to replace one’s own writing work, all types of misuse of the intellectual property of such mechanical production of text, images, videos or any other copyrightable product that the user presents as his/her own.
But he does not enter the details, and thus he remains superficial. The problems of misinformation, hallucination, and bias are a lot less important, even with deep fakes, though Bernard Marr remains superficial on such dangers. He considers these GenAI products more like patentable or trademark problems, which they are but that’s the only side or point of view of the businesses using this technology.
At the present moment, lawsuits are emerging on the Intellectual Property front with people getting ready to go to court for unauthorized use of protected data and items within LLMs, or the use of voices, slightly synthesized (hence plagiarism and plain theft) as commercial products sold with an unshared profit. I will concentrate, in the second part, on chapter 10 on education to enter some details I know from the practice of self-learning at many levels of the educational system. (2)
URBAN TREK AFTER ARTS – CLERMONT-FERRAND, FRANCE
Les Arts en Balade in Clermont-Ferrand this month of May 2024 were a success because they expanded to two cities outside Clermont conurbation, Thiers and Vic-Le-Comte, there were many people everywhere, there were 240+ artists or groups in about the same number of places: public spaces dedicated for such events, supportive professional institutions like the Order of Lawyers and the Order of Architects, many stores of all sorts opening their businesses to one or two artists, and also many apartments in the city transformed into workshops where artists could present their work. They were also a success because they lasted four days and were just as dense on Friday, May 17 as on the three following days up to Monday, May 20. Note the case of Michelin who opened their conference rooms and galleries in their Headquarters to three artists with a very good service guiding the visitors and making feel, equally at ease, the audience and the works of art, even from some green challenge declared to be ecological. Thank God we are not in the Orsay Museum of Le Louvre
This complete covering of the event I was able to work on, plus some suggestions for further development and opening to other arts than only plastic arts inside exhibition rooms or halls and on portable media. The opinions and tips are just mine of course, not those of an Artificial Intelligence requested to caress the wild artistic animals of this event smoothly and avoid ruffling their hairs. I apologize if some find it slightly rough at times. Arts are often harsh, and thus critics have to be harsh too. To critically cover an art exhibition is a love affair, and as they say in French, we could pretend that good lovers are also good at chastising those they love.
Les Arts en Balade à Clermont-Ferrand ce mois de mai 2024 ont été un succès car ils se sont étendus à deux villes hors agglomération clermontoise, Thiers et Vic-Le-Comte, il y avait beaucoup de monde partout, il y avait plus de 240 artistes ou groupes dans environ le même nombre de lieux : des espaces publics dédiés à de tels événements, des institutions professionnelles exprimant ainsi leur soutien comme l'Ordre des Avocats et l'Ordre des Architectes, de nombreux magasins en tout genre ouvrant leurs commerces à un ou deux artistes, mais aussi de nombreux appartements en ville transformés en ateliers. où les artistes pouvaient présenter leur travail. Ils furent également une réussite car ils durèrent quatre jours et furent tout aussi denses le vendredi 17 mai que les trois jours suivants jusqu'au lundi 20 mai. A noter le cas de Michelin qui a ouvert ses salles de conférence et d’exposition à son siège social à trois artistes avec un très bon service guidant les visiteurs et faisant sentir, également à l'aise, le public et les œuvres d'art, même de quelque défi vert déclaré écologique. Dieu merci, nous ne sommes pas au Musée d'Orsay ou du Louvre

THE DRAVIDIAN EMPIRE AND THEIR EPIC FAILURE
A novel of political fiction that does not reach science-fiction but wants to tell us a lot about the modern world and what the choices are for us in this decaying future. The pattern, the Gestalt of this book seems to be that no matter what humans try to do, good or bad, progressive or reactionary, democratic or dictatorial, there is no hope and no future for those initiatives. Any attempt at changing the decaying world we live in is doomed to be a failure.
What is history? The production of what happens in our world, in fact, in the cosmos, and no human individual, no human crowd, no human anything can control or change the course of such events. If by any chance we want to understand what makes history, we have to consider billions, maybe trillions of parameters in the cosmos and we, the human dwarves we are, do not even control half a dozen of them and our vanity makes us believe we can command the cosmos because we want to be gods. In the old days and in other civilizations than the Western denied Bible, they were humble enough to give this power to a God that was not of the human species.
Here Salman Rushdie follows a witch bewitched by a goddess who pretends she can create a whole empire from a bag, or rather a sack of seeds, and this leads to a total and pitiful defeat and absolute termination of the attempt, but it means Salman Rushdie is predicting that all the positive elements his witch tries, religious tolerance, education for boys and girls equally, women’s rights, gender-friendly policies, peace and coexistence, and finally freedom of expression are all doomed to fail and crumble as soon as they reach some height. In other words, his novel and his vision are the rewriting of the Babel Tower myth.
Sorry boys and girls, no future for any progressive dream, just as much as for any regressive nightmare. Life and history are neither a dream nor a nightmare. They are nothing but cosmic determinism governed by the cosmos itself, and we can be happy with the fact our world is not in a black hole. But after all, maybe that’s the destiny and fate of humanity, to end up in a bottomless black hole.
CRIME AND FAMILY DYSTUNCTIONING IN WALES
This series is very well done, suspenseful, at least as much as possible, twisted and distorted like any crime series should be but unluckily it is biased. It states to anyone who wants to listen that crime has roots in only one thing: family dysfunctioning and nothing else. The fact that society leads some people who do not fit in the standard mold to rebellion, frustration and violence by being biased against them and bullying them all the time and if they want to have contacts with people, they have to go down on their knees and beg for a favor.
That’s too bad because the cases in this rural north Wales area deserve a lot better, and probably, a more open vision of crime in this community.

LA CHAISE-DIEU MÉDIÉVALE & LA RÉVOLUTION BÉNÉDICTINE--MEDIEVAL LA CHAISE-DIEU...Editions La Dondaine
On July 13, 2024, at La Chaise-Dieu, the European Network of Casadean Sites will present a public conference on the topic of the Benedictine Revolution in Livradois-Forez, led by the La Chaise-Dieu Abbaye, starting a bit earlier with the religious reform brought up by Charlemagne in the 9th century. The Abbaye was founded less than 200 years later. The conference will focus the discussion – and it has to be a discussion – on the consequences of the Carolingian religious reform, the agricultural revolution with the invention of the horse collar and the management of the land, the rotation of crops, cultivation, and fertilization. Then the proto-industrial revolution that will bring five types of watermills for grain, oil, tan, hemp (fiber and cloth), and slightly later paper. This will make Livradois-Forez an essential region producing hemp cables and hemp cloth for ships. The first result was 75 days without any work in the year, no work before and after morning and evening angelus, and a pause with midday angelus. The second result was better food and demographical expansion, up to the end of the 13th century.
Then things became darker. Overpopulation brought unrest and all sorts of contests and conflicts at the religious level itself (Crusades in the Middle East, but also against the Cathars in France. Then in 1346, the Black Death, a pandemic in Europe of the bubonic plague, caused a tremendous level of deaths. Then, the One Hundred Years War started in 1337. The resilience of the population enabled Europe in general to go through, and around 1450 the printing press was developed by Gutenberg enabling the printing of books for the highly-needed university training of great numbers of people to bring Europe back on its feet. The Renaissance was the result of this period, a tremendously positive and creative period, and at the same time, a highly-disturbed era with The Reformation, and the religious wars that concerned all countries at a time when nationalism was emerging.
Two speakers-debaters will present the five or six centuries concerned as fast as possible to let the audience debate questions like:
1- The influence and impact of Charlemagne’s religious reform.
2- The feudal system: land ownership and serfdom.
3- The role of technology to produce energy, replace human work, and develop new products.
4- Religious tensions with Avignon and Rome conformist Popes.
5- The role of The Inquisition and religious justice.
6- The fate of the cable industry when Omerin In Ambert is number one in Europe or the world for various high-security and high-technicity cables.
7- The culture: architecture, music, painting, carving, theater, oratorio and opera, literature.
It will take place at LA CHAISE-DIEU – AUDITORIUM GEORGES CZIFFRA
SAMEDI 13 JUILLET 2024 – 14-17 HEURES 30.
The two main speakers so far are Dr Jacques COULARDEAU (Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne) and PhD Graduate Student Clément GOMY (Université Clermont AuvergneTHE INDO-EUROPEAN BIG BANG: The Big Bang Illusion
Xavier Rouard searches and researches the linguistic world, scientific research of course, for the origin, the cradle, the homeland, or the motherland, of Indo-European. He is not the only one in the world, but he goes against practically all the others by positioning this linguistic nursery in Central Asia based on a Eurasian or trans-Eurasian language or languages. But precisely Eurasian languages only came into existence from the moment when syntactic-analytic Indo-Iranian languages left the Iranian plateau where they had stationed themselves when they arrived from Black Africa, some 40,000 years ago, or BCE, not much difference here. They had to go through the Ice Age first and finally get on the move after this climate event probably around 15,000 BCE, some east to the southern Asian continent, with Pakistan and India, others west down into Mesopotamia and from there to Europe. These people, on both side, encountered people who spoke other languages, Turkic agglutinative languages, and isolating Sino-Tibetan languages, mostly. These languages had integrated the Denisovans and their own language(s). Thes encountered people were hybrid Homo Sapiens with a varying proportion of Denisovan DNA in Central Asia, and the same in Mesopotamia with a varying proportion od Neanderthalensis DNA. When they reached Europe, the population was essentially of Turkic language and origin with a varying level of hybridization with European Homo Neanderthalensis. It is such encounters that generated or engendered the various Indo-European or Indo-Aryan languages
My approach is phylogenetic and thus it is absolutely impossible for me not to take into consideration the migrations and geographic, hence social, cultural and linguistic movements of these populations. That’s the basic principle of Joseph Greenberg who considered that all these migrations had only one matrix or melting pot that produced the emergence of human articulated language on the basis of what these emerging Homo Sapiens inherited from the other Hominins from which they were descending.
But Joseph Greenberg and his disciples encountered a problem: in all language you should find a certain number of words whose “roots” are universal and stable in meaning. These are the roots coming from Black Africa before any migration out of Black Africa. The problem is then that it does not enable any topology of languages. So, they, Greenberg and his disciples, tried to introduce “grammatical” or “syntactic” words, but even so it does go that far.
To get somewhere you have to ask the question about the phylogeny of articulated language(s), and there you only find three articulations in a precise order: root-languages (by the way vastly ignored by Xavier Rouard), Isolating character languages, and agglutinative as well as synthetic-analytic languages according to the migrations out of Black Africa. If you do not consider this phylogeny, then you put all sorts of languages together in the melting pot [...}
CRIME OVERALL & POLICE ROUTINE, FOLLOW THE WIND
Three crime series in one entry.
First, The Brokenwood Mysteries; seasons 1 to 3.
Second, The Coroner, Complete Series.
Third, The Unforgotten, Series 1 to 4, Complete Series.
Police series, detective stories, criminal mysteries, and many other options in the field of crime and delinquency have been explored by the English from the first moment they started existing, a very long time ago.
Shakespeare and he was not the first author in the field, loved those stories of crimes and criminals, having people assassinated, or mutilated, or tortured on the stage from Titus Andronicus to Romeo and Juliet.
Dickens was a good one too in that field, but Shakespeare looked at crime from the outside, from some ethical point of view. Dickens looked at it from inside, from the point of view of the criminals themselves forced to commit crimes in order to simply survive.
Then you had Mary Shelley and her Frankenstein and then later on Dracula came into the picture, and many others trill we came across Conan Doyle who edicted the proper form of a crime story or detective story, hence an investigation of a crime we can only see from outside, and the investigation is to get into it to see how it got developed and who was the criminal.
Since then, with the radio at first, the cinema next, and finally television leading directly to streaming and the Internet, those police adventures have just become adventures, and the extreme form is what they call action films where violence is no longer criminal since it has been transformed into the ultimate survival if not the final renascence before the apocalypse.
Enjoy these series.
Let the Mayas Speak In their old Glyphs
The Mayas are more a cultural and historical mystery than a vast field of knowledge. We know less than we can even imagine about them. Where did they come from? What language did they speak before coming to Mesoamerica? What were their beliefs before arriving in Yucatan? They brought with them cacao, chocolate, writing, mathematics, extremely advanced calendars, phenomenal knowledge about stars, planets and the cosmos. They even brought with them a vigesimal counting system with the mathematics going along with it, including the equivalent of our zero (that we borrowed from the Arabs in the 17th century) that enabled them to count up to the infinite.
The most remarkable achievement is that they managed to merge phenomenal art with the glyphic writing system of theirs. We know the glyphs were works of art, for one, and a syllabary phonetic writing system, for two. For a very long time the second aspect was rejected, particularly by Sir Eric Thompson. Luckily this untruth was rejected after his death, with a little bit of disregard before his death. The glyphs were not flat symbolic of items and purely artistic, like some kind of secondary if not superfluous decoration. The colonizing Spaniards considered that decoration as diabolical and they burned and destroyed all the books and artifacts that carried such artistic representations of Maya reality and such glyphs that could only be the language of the devil.
Imagine how surprised I was when I discovered this catalogue of an exhibition at the MET Museum of Art in New York. They provide some images of the glyphs, and even some sentences written with them. But they systematically ignore the glyphs, transliterate the sentences and words into Latin-transliterated Maya, and simply work and speculate on these transliterations and their translations into English. They lose all the richness of meaning and beauty of the glyphs. In other words, they terminate, bring to a final end the destructive work of the Spaniards, the culturicide of the Mayas and the Maya culture and civilization. My full study (about 15,000 words, only in English) is available

The 3 Literacies of Modern Age, the Trikirion of Communication
Review of the Trikirion of Communication:
Symboleracy, Numeracy and Techneracy
The starting point is the phylogeny of communication because the educational topic I am going to address cannot even exist if there is no communication. We have to understand that all Hominins were communicating. Probably all Hominins after Homo Erectus included had some command of some articulated language, but only Homo Sapiens reached the comprehensive and sustainable command of the fully-articulated language, probably around 200,000 BCE.
The next great stage Is the development of representational and symbolic Inscriptions and paintings or engravings on all durable media available, rockface in caves, stone, bone, ivory, and tusks. This symbolic transcription of stories and experience, maybe some spiritual language accompanying some rituals, is the first form of writing seen as symbolic transcription and going back to 300,000 BCE with Homo Naledi, 100,000 BCE with Homo Neanderthalensis, and 50,000 with Homo Sapiens.
Syllabic and alphabetical writing only came around 3,500 BCE for Homo Sapiens. There might have been older cases, but archaeology has not yet covered the whole world for all types of symbolic inscriptions that could have led to symbolic phonetic writing. The next stage was the printing press which enabled mass education and mass communication.
SQUEEZED BETWEEN AI & SCREENS, THEATER IS TRULY STRUGGLING
ENTRE IA & LES ÉCRANS LE THÉÄTRE EST EN QUESTION
The Journal “Théâtres du Monde” has just published its 34th issue. I have two articles published in that journal. So here is first of all the table of contents of the 2024 issue, and I added to these three pages all the preparatory work I have done to write the two articles that deal with the series HUNTERS and the author Lorraine HANSBERRY. These reviews and critiques are all bilingual, English for some and French for the others.
I do feel like a raisin the sun. I also added some documents on the recent question brought up about race in the USA where some states are restricting the teaching of slavery and Black history in the USA because it may, might, would, and I think SHOULD traumatize the poor white darlings who really need some traumatization about their imperialistic ideological terrorism.
ACTION FILMS = FILMS MONGERING MENTAL ALIENATION
Four films or series.
1- John Woo’s Silent Night (2023),
2- Doug Liman’s Road House (2024),
3- Albert Hughes’s The Continental (2023),
4- Marcela Saïd and Julien Despaux’s Ourika (2024),
all seen on Amazon’s Prime Video, hence distributed by Amazon Prime Video, all dealing with violence in our societies and all claiming that violence is justified top answer and respond to a violent society, a violence coming from outside our community, and that outside can introduce anti-immigrant accusations or plainly racist claims, both anti-white and anti-any-ethnicity.
Does it help us understand this violence ? Does these films enable us to devise a proper response to prevent and solve such violence? Both times, a resounding NO. But in both cases, it plays in the hands of the most extreme forces on the nationalist side of life, the side that refuses to consider those who are not pure according to their definitions as the cause of all our problems, and not only those people but also all products that may come from the countries concerned by these ethnic groups. This is true in the USA, in Canada, with Mexico playing the wide-open gate to the previous two, and all over Europe.
What game are these streaming services playing? Preparing coming elections! But it might go the wrong way for them. Now what is the wrong way? Good question. No answer because the ballot boxes will be the only valid answer. First stop, the European Elections in June 2024.
IS BUDDHIST NIBBANA WORTH A BOY-TO-BOY’S KISS?
Mo Xiang’s third volume of the saga on The Blessing of a Heaven Official is there in front of me and this saga is emanating with so much force that no one can resist the tanha that tells them “Go For It! There is pleasure in it all!” I am sure you want to discover the pleasure there is in these volumes, but remember the authoress is a woman and as such she develops a sweet, soft, and catching psychology that will turn you completely berserk if you do not keep your feet well anchored in the earth.
The King Ghost Hua Cheng from Ghost City is behind every move the ascended Xie Lian is inspiring or is inspired by and for. His meeting this Xie Lian after 800 years of supernatural and surreal life in our vast cosmos was so mind-stirring, intelligence-moving, and body-inspiring that the pure ascetic Buddhist he is supposed to be, nearly fell into the cauldron of eroticism. He managed not to fall, but that was very close this time since he was unconscious and Hua Cheng took advantage of the situation and pretended that he had to save his “friend” before he drowned, though Hua Cheng knew perfectly well Xie Lian could not drown, hence cannot die. But, well, Hua Cheng kissed Xie Lian unconscious as he was, I mean in his unconscious mind, because Xie Lian was unconscious, and thus he could kiss him since he could not protest. What a twisted and I guess tortured mind he is. He should try Buddhist meditation to hypnotize himself into plain decent abstinence.
But sure enough, the encounter with the Venerable of Empty Words promises to be a fair adventure in which Xie Lian’s mind and body will be chastised, abused, and even probably raped. There will be quite a lot of repair work to do on the psyche and the conscious rightfulness of our Xie Lian. I guess Hua Cheng will take advantage of such situations to steal a couple more kisses. Never trust a ghost because they have no soul anymore and they have no honor either. So, lying, pretending, and even impersonating what they are not to seduce their gullible victims is some kind of sport for these fuzzy beings, if they can really BE.
OPPENHEIMER, WHEN THE US STARTED TO LOSE THEIR ETHICS
Oppenheimer is an essential character in US history. He is the left-leaning Jew who provided the USA with the Atom Bomb that enabled the US to defeat Japan faster than the planned standard land and air attack by the Soviets and the Chinese Communists, officially endorsed in the Yalta Conference ( 4–11 February 1945) by Churchill, Truman, and Stalin. Truman did not have the atomic bomb yet and will only have it in July 1945. So, he bluffed and agreed with the Soviet plan because he had no alternative … yet. He reneged his agreement in July-August 1945, and he dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945. The victory over Germany was a joint effort. The victory over Japan was a self-centered and egotistic solitary procedure not even negotiated with the allies of the US. The United Kingdom might have been informed, maybe. But the USSR was not. The Americans were already and had been for nearly two centuries, on the “America First” and “Make America Great Forever” lines that we have known all along and directly since 1918.
And within 9 years Oppenheimer will be ostracized because he was leaning to the left and there were Communists around him. He submitted and disappeared in some sideline university job. He had nowhere to go, as opposed to Charlie Chaplin who went back to England. As a Jew, he could have gone to Israel, but that was not a real optimistic solution at the time. He might even have gone to the USSR with his communist wife. But he stayed put in the USA, in his closet-university-job. The film does not really explore this dilemma: hide away in the USA, go to the Jewish Israel, or go to the USSR. On one hand, it was his old depressive nature that came back. On the other hand, it would have been going back to his faith and his roots, even if it could have looked like treason. On the third hand, on yet another other hand, it would have been plain treason.
THIRD UNDERGROUND HELL’S LOUNGE - WELCOME
THE DESCENT TO HELL IN THREE STAGES – 2003-2015-2019
I brought together three films and series presented here both in English and French in anti-chronological order.
1- The film 7500, 2019.
2- The series Blindspot, 2015-2020.
3- The film The Dreamers, 2003
If you take them in this backward order, you may understand that today’s world is not at all different from the one in 1968 when the Vietnam War was going on full blast, the Chinese Cultural Revolution was in full swing and the West per se was living its first full sexual revolution with the arrival of the baby-boomers to the full unquenchable desire to hormonally and fully enjoy life. Have some interesting reading.
FIRST STAGE – AMAZON STUDIOS – 7500 – 2019
There is little to say about such a film. It is just artificial entertainment that shows nothing and proves nothing. It is all stressing detail to keep the audience glued to the screen.
SECOND STAGE – BLINDSPOT – FULL SERIES – FIVE SEASONS – 2015-2020
A very long series for very little apart from stressed and stressful situations that always end well anyway, meaning leading to a worse situation in the next episode.
THIRD STAGE – BERNARDO BERTOLUCCI – THE DREAMERS – 2003
Paris Spring 1968. We all know what happened then in France. The victory of the unions, the defeat of the left, and the impossibility for the left to understand that any “events” of that sort will always lead to the victory of the right in the next elections, and today we have to update the data and say the victory of the extreme right. It might be slightly more complex, but basically, that’s what it is and when the left wins this social-minded left will become conservative within at the most two years and it might even turn reactionary within these two years, at times even less. They like power so much.
Too Tricky To Be True, don't you feel it
Amazon Prime Video and Blumhouse Productions love dysfunctioning mothers who, in the name of their love for their children, are ready to kill anyone only on their gut feelings that this anyone is guilty of who knows what apart from the devil.
The film is tricky enough to lure and fool the audience, and the horror of the racist and dysfunctional situation can be believed till the end when the trick is revealed. Note this revelation implies that all daughters from divorced or motherless families are by definition, even by principle, liars.
You might also find the father falling in an ice-cold river under a blizzard of some sort funny, and with his winter coat on, and then he goes on parading around outside, in the unheated car, and even in some kind of social situation without changing his freezing clothes. Like at the Oscars yesterday the costume design Oscar was delivered to a costume designer wearing no clothes at all, except a small cardboard sign where sexually necessary for the picture, meaning that costume designers are so badly treated and paid that they cannot even afford to buy underwear.
A little bit more about the context, schools, religion, Islam and girls, divorced parents, single Muslim male parent, etc. would have maybe given some depth to the story and made it less artificial.
NEVER IMAGINABLE WITH WHITE PEOPLE IN THE LEAD
A film that wants to be science-fiction. So, learn the lessons that emerge from it.
1- Let black doctors or scientists get into a hospital “laboratory” and the most unimaginable horrors will take place.
2- Let black people be fully treated in a hospital and they will become guinea pigs, especially in the hands of black doctors.
3- Let a mother treat her son and the worst possible crime will take place under your own nose and in front of your own eyes.
4- Shall I go on?
If this is not pure racism laced with some sexism, I just wonder what would qualify. How can anyone imagine such man-made scientific schizophrenia to be possible in the hands and under the scalpel of a doctor, a scientist? I guess it is urgent to have clear regulations and controls on such activities. Because be sure that wild clandestine medical experiments are happening every day in the world.
EXISTENTIAL DURATION MEASURED BY MAYAN TIME
Duration is all that plants and animals experience. They last as long as either possible or necessary. When the phylogenic target of bringing in the next generation of life is fulfilled, the plant or the animal can die or wither away. Homo Sapiens, and probably most Hominins developed from experience the need to measure this duration, at first in days and nights, and then in clusters of days and nights. Then they can coordinate their observations and notice some cosmic items go through regular existential cycles, first of all, the sun rising or lowering in the sky with shortening or lengthening days and nights. Second, the moon and its phases are numbered as two, four, or three, but systematically waxing and waning. You can easily measure all that in solar days and that is the beginning of time: a human invention quantifying the duration of anything in observable regular elements.
From what we know the Mayas were among the most advanced people for such time-quantification and they developed all sorts of calendars to do this. But they were neither the first one nor the last one. They were not the best either, though they were very good. I will even say that all the lines of dots or check marks or squares or other geometric forms we can find in all the caves in the world in which Hominins and Homo Sapiens lived and that they decorated in many ways are the quantification of various phenomena, though we don’t always know which ones.
This book by Hunbatz Men concentrates on Mayan calendars but in modern language and modern terms, not necessarily in the real Mayan terms at the time, up to 3,000 years ago. It assumes the Mayas were aware of the leap years, though we do not seem to have any real reason to believe so. The author does not work on any serious lunar hypothesis, maybe a calendar. It vaguely mentions but does not explore the Venus cycles as Morning Star and as Evening Star. To work on the Pleiades, why not, yet one question does not concern such a long cycle but the simple working of the ritualistic 260-day Tzolk’in Calendar that is out of sync with the solar calendar, the 365-day Haab Calendar, and even more so if we consider the 360-day Haab Calendar, and how the ritual activities dictated by the Tzolk’in Calendar can be prescribed and predicted and performed when their Tzolk’in dates can fall at any time, in any season in the Haab Calendar. It is hard enough to coordinate the 12-and-a-half moon cycles over a solar calendar, but many civilizations are dealing with it and managing it with cyclical corrections.
That’s why it would have been good to give us some elements on this very same problem with the Tzolk’in calendar when we can compare with the difficult adaptation of the Muslim Lunar ritualistic calendar to the Gregorian calendar. The floating Ramadan is the result of this necessary adaptation. In other words, the present book is slightly short.
NO LOVE NO FUTURE NO PEACE
To bring together South Africa in the days of apartheid and from the point of view of the white Afrikaners with the tremendous career of Queen with Freddie Mercury and after his death without him shows how ahead of their times this band was when they started as a boys’ band and then when they matured into a full-fledged career.
Apartheid and racism bring segregation and discrimination which systematically reject differences. No future for those who do not have the skin color, the religion, the language, the sexuality, the musical affiliation, even as a simple audience, as the dominant, selected, elected, chosen entity that only has god and science over their heads. And their God has chosen these people to be his chosen people, and these people chosen by God believe what God has explained to them that science justifies their elected-ness, selected-ness or chosen-ness. They are the acme of the creation, and all others are just plain rejects that no one has the heart to destroy.
But be sure God will do it some day. Which god since there are many if not even plenty? Who cares. Each God will recognize his own supporters when they are all dead.
But then you may have no supporters at all, dear God or Gods. It does not really matter. We don’t need these supporters to eat, drink and survive. We have all we need in heaven and the sky. In fact, it was a mistake of ours to have created humanity. The planet would be so much better with none of the human parasites.
Meet the Madman Prophet, who is most the time mixed up with the other God Profit who is universal and derails every so many years, not so many as you may think every ten years or so. But with this God there is always a small population that manages to store away what they need to take over when the crisis has come to an end and the dead victims have been buried or cremated.
Poetry Prison Comoro, Railings All Around
An interesting experiment to bring a poetry workshop in a prison For us who have lived in the mythology of Johnny Cash and San Quentin, and all his songs and work about and in prisons there is nothing strange about that But what happens afterward? The inmates get some satisfaction in their work, writing poetry and singing, slam or whatever it may be, but what’s next after their prison term? No reason to reject the experiment but a follow-up action is necessary to know what these men – and it is only men – have become or will become when they get out of the railings, out of the cage. We are not all Johnny Cash, are we?
Since this operation was sponsored by Alliance Française, it would nice to know what kind of follow-up work this Alliance Française is going to perform. The responsibility cannot be the poet’s. But it is interesting to be confirmed one more time that there are many ways for prison inmates to reform. One element is not taken into account. 98% of the population is Sunni Muslims. What is the impact on such an experiment? What does Islam bring to the experiment that would otherwise not be there. Étienne Russias should try to show us this dimension, since, as far as I know, he is a standard young man educated in the Christian traditions, maybe not the religion, but the traditions definitely like being christened, being buried religiously, being married religiously. How did he deal with a 98 percent Muslim group? How many Muslims were taking part, among the inmates and among the workshop workers?
But that’s the beginning of the intelligent globalization we need, a globalization that is founded on differences and not some westernized homogenization.
ACADEMICALLY NEGLECTED, THE INCAS WERE PRODIGY AGRONOMISTS
(No French Translation) The Incas partly inherited and partly developed phenomenal agriculture in the very hard conditions of the Andes: desertic areas, difficult water resources, high altitude, no real draft animal, no wheel, and yet the Andes before and under the Incas produced miraculous results that the Spaniards destroyed in a few years with epidemics and mass killing.
It is easy to say the Incas were barbarians and that covers the genocide, the culturicide, the systematic uprooting and exposing of anything they could have believed or done, based on NO direct contact with them before the “conquest” that must have killed 50% of the population in two or three years with smallpox and other infantile and childhood diseases, plus a few sword killings when there was some resistance.
Unluckily, Gordon McEwan does not really come to a clear vision in his book because he only bases his work on what has been collected by others essentially on the only source of some Spanish colonizers trying to justify the massacre and apocalyptic colonization. The real barbarians were the colonizers, and it is their testimony that is nearly only taken into account. Archaeology is about one century behind what it is in other regions of the world.
Things have slightly changed over the last ten years, but we are still a long way behind what we should have done. That leaves the door open to some like Hunbatz Men pretending the Mayas, Incas and many other Indigenous Native Americans are the descendants of the humanoid people who were established in two continents that have disappeared without leaving any trace of their existence behind them, Mu and Atlantis. And then it is easy to bring in that the inhabitants of these two disappeared continents were extra-humans from some distant civilization who landed on earth and prospered and then found some humanoid animals there and civilized them. We are their descendants, I mean of these extra-humanly civilized humanoid animals from long ago.
Maybe we could simply ask some questions about the origins of the Incas, the Mayas, and many other native American peoples of South and Meso-America. We know the Native Americans of North America and Canada up to Greenland came from Siberia. But that solution is not, feasible for the Native Americans of South and Meso-America. But we are so mentally colonized by North American Protestant Puritans who believe they are the center of the world that research about South America and Mesoamerica has scandalously been neglected. Some mental colonization of this type is also a genocide since it excludes millions of people from what these North American WASPs call the “human race” which is of course white, etc.
EMPATHETICALLY PATHETIC VIVALDI
L’Olimpiade is an opera on a libretto that was extremely popular in the 18th century in Italy and Europe. The plot is in many ways repulsive: cheating in the Olympic Games. Stealing the woman your friend loves and who loves your friend. Getting rid of the first lover you had for a woman you desire but who will never love you since she loves your friend. She knows you are a cheater, a monster in many ways.
But her father, the king of Sicione is even worse. He had had in the past his son exposed to the sea, in other words, thrown into the sea when a newborn for him to drown. Then he turned his daughter into the prize of a sports event, a fight of some type between several champions: the winner can marry the daughter. Obnoxious.
And he discovers the cheater he has just condemned to be sacrificed on the main altar of the city is his son. He does not even beg for pity and forgiveness. He just accepts the situation and decides – like the king he pretends to be – the son will marry the woman he abandoned in Crete and his friend will marry his daughter, I mean the king’s daughter of course.
How can you save such a pathetic plot? In the 18th century, it was already difficult. Think of The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart or Le Marriage de Figaro by Beaumarchais. The main nobleman, a count if I remember well these useless but meaningful details, sees his authority, his privileges rejected and contained by his wife and the servants of the house, Figaro of course first of all. How can we today find it funny to celebrate a cheater, a liar, a vindicative violent person, and it all has to, ought to, and must be excused because of his drastic fate dictated by his own father and a disobedient servant who is the only humane and modern character: A servant does not have to obey an order if it goes against his own ethics.
IFIASA – ROMANIA – CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
I (Dr. Jacques COULARDEAU) have been working with these researchers and this publisher for several, maybe many after all, years rather freely as for the topics and the methods. They understand that there cannot be any discussion if the people who are discussing any issue or topic are not different.
Blindness is absurd when it is in the mind. Color blindness is racism under another name. Religion-blindness, like in France, leads to repression of some religious practices that do not want to be invisible, unseen, blind-struck. Poverty-blindness is a loincloth for the obscene rejection of homeless people, ungraduated individuals, marginal, different, at times autistic human beings.
That’s the first element I find interesting in this research project. It tries to listen to everyone and discuss all points of view from creationism to the vastest conception of the phylogenic evolution of rocks as well as boys, girls, men, and women, without forgetting poetry, films, music, arts, and science, all sciences.
I always remember André Joly’s angry remark against Descartes, one of the French scientists and philosophers best known in the world for open-mindedness, innovation, and logical research methodology, at least as creative as if not more than Socrates and Plato teaching mathematics to a slave boy of 12. Why André Joly’s anger? He had read Descartes’ introductory remarks to some scientific and philosophical book of his where he explained that proving the world is governed by simple scientific rules and laws that are said to be natural, is the best way to prove the existence of God. André Joly considered God should be banned from any intellectual or scientific activity. In one word, he was French. That was in the late 1980s.
Molière will always be the best, even in classic alexandrines (sorry no translation available of the following lines):
“Cachez-moi donc ce dieu d’enfer, de perdition,
Dieu de soufre et d’encens. Ne jamais concevoir
Cette logique horreur qui tue pure raison
Vous enferme l’esprit dans le sang d’un ciboire”
(Molièr’, Scapin, Tartuff’, Acte VI, Scene 3
Mais que diable allait-il faire en cette galère)
IMPERIALISM OF ALL COLORS AND SHADES
Imperialism is the natural vision of the United States of America on the world around them, starting just in front of their doors in their suburban neighborhoods.
Each citizen has the right to impose his own vision and rights onto his community, his neighborhood, his neighbors, his city, his county, his state, the USA, and naturally the whole world. It is Monroe’s Manifest Destiny of the USA. Tragic ! ! ! !
But to believe that ONE BLACK AMERICAN will be able to bring down one of the biggest Mafia families in Sicily is as absurd as planning to land on the sun and have a stroll there. Why don’t Americans mind their own business: Homeland Terrorism, CIA Terrorism, FBI Terrorism, PD Terrorism? And this list is not exhaustive ! ! ! !
What about social media Terrorism, School terrorism, Pedagogical and Didactic Terrorism, and Pharmaceutical Terrorism with opioids and other fatal but legal drugs? And what about the Fourth age (beyond 80) Terrorism with unfair competition from the just-under-the-80-year-old-limit hooligans who brandish all types of HooliGUNS that are as holy and sanitary as a waterless restroom in the middle of the Sahara? The exile Abraham condemned Ishmail and his slave mother to: go and die for the glory of Isaac ! ! ! !
The imperialistic mind in the USA is so strong, that even a Black vigilante cannot resist five minutes to the violent desire to intervene in Italy and defeat a Mafia family, and waste a lot of good wine. That Black vigilante has nothing to do in Italy. Let hjim go back to Nerw York, Chicago or Los Angeles. He is not some OSS 117 secret agent.
STALE CRUMBS UNDER THE LAST SUPPER TABLE
Multiverses are crisscrossing one another in this series, at times within each episode, at times even in the middle of a scene, just for twenty frames. But the passage from A to B, from the human world to the crazy imagined world, is easy. Just drown yourself and off you go and can come back if you are revived within five minutes earthen time. Otherwise, bye bye food, drink , clothing or even family jewels. You will stay on the other side.
This series does not even pretend to explain how 150 million people disappeared in two seconds, including unborn fetuses. I guess explanations are for naïve and senseless, insensitive, non-sensible people who consider if you do not provide them with a sequence A because B since C and therefore D, you are speaking gibberish to the birds of that Italian saint who spoke to birds and fed himself once in a while on one of them he captured and cooked on a campfire.
Enjoy the complete mess & the end will be a good old Hollywoodian happy ending, though not with that many children ever after.
BEAUTY FOR THOSE WHO SERVE – SALVATION FOR THE JUST
I covered the Festival of La Chaise-Dieu nine times from 1996 to 2004 for the local press La Galipote in Vertaizon, Puy de Dôme, and L’Écho de la Haute Loire, Le Puy en Velay.
When you get into this abbey church you cannot come out unchanged. A visit is a real epiphany. I don’t know if you meet God or the Cosmos, but, surely, you meet with a transcendence that goes so far beyond the simple rain outside that you may feel as if a storm of butterflies was falling onto you, and like psychopomps of eternal life, taking you on their wings to the other side of nowhere, that’s somewhere where everything is music, light, colors and dancing.
The Choir Tapestries are also unique and once again you can do what this book does: look at the details, the quotations, and the Biblical characters, or you can do what this book does not do: look at the characters as if they were your direct relatives in the street at rush hour, feel their hearts beating and their minds palpitating and you follow them into another world where war does not exist, where work is divine, where knowledge and science are the real salvation of this universe.
You draw one thread and you let it come to you and along the thread, like a knotted cords of the Incas, Quipus, you communicate and empathetically merge with all the knots’ contain and you start traveling back in the past to know where we are coming from, and into the future to imagine sacred music in 1,000 years. Jacques COULARDEAU, LA CHAISE DIEU, 3015: Les aventures de Loukardill en musique sucrée (Sweet Music, University of Jupiter on Europa), Édition en français, 5 juillet 2014, KDP Edition, Kindle Store on all Amazon sites.
And when you come back from that trip back to the future, you are ready to go back to a trip back to the past again. Dunn North Carolina and Davis California and the discovery of racism as the sin of those who think they are the selected people ignoring what their gods tell them that there is no chosen people, that we all have to strive to prosper and reject fake racist competition to practice meditation and empathy with the suffering of the cosmos and the deep desires of all human beings: to know peace and to love all those who have love to give or need to receive love to learn how to give some in their turn. Jacques COULARDEAU, Black Widow Lover: Amour et Veuves Noires, Édition en français, 19 février 2022, KDP Edition, Kindle Store on all Amazon sites.
That’s the miracle of La Chaise-Dieu and the Choir Tapestries you have to spend at least 13 hours with, one hour per tapestry. But You better get this book and learn it by heart, or take it along, with some kind of a stool, so that you can sit in front of each triptych and discover all the details about them in the book The rest in your mind, your soul, your spirit and you will discover your spirit is as holy as holy can be in our forlorn and abandoned world.
CANNIBALISTIC PARANOID NARCISSISM
This film is probably a masterpiece, but it has all the defects of a provocation. It will have to teach its audience how to step back from their erotic voyeurism in order to see the deep perverse psychological logic in the three main male characters.
They may desire one another two by two or all three at once. They may desire only themselves as males, but also with one or two female disruptions, female entertainments, and female discardable toys. Women are only distractions, as Blaise Pascal would say, from the main divine target of men perverted into enjoying a limitless life in excessive wealth that destroys all possible human and humane perspectives, hence any moral or ethical hesitation before doing anything pleasurable for the man in bliss, even if and maybe especially because it is hurtful to the targets and the suffering beneficiaries of the bullying since it is bullying in the end.
If you are not from that top social class, but from a slightly lower class, and hence only have limited means you have to take care of and economize, then your only hope in this society is to cannibalize one family of the top aristocracy. That’s nothing but a narcissistic project because you are going to do it for the sole love and sake of yourself, and only yourself, not even your soul. At the end of it, you will be the king of the estate, but the king will be naked and the emperor will be standing and strutting in his new clothes. The main character will love it because these new clothes are light and they hide nothing, but only to his own eyes in the mirror in the bathroom he will break with his own fists after enjoying his fluid liberation in the washstand.
POPULAR SUCCESS FOR L’OLIMPIADE
JOSEF MYSLIVEČEK MAKES L’OLIMPIADE MELODRAMATIC
This topic, and its standard timeline and suspense architecture was used vastly on Italian opera stages in the 18th century. Josef Mysliveček is one composer, the latest then, who used the topic, subject, drama, and suspenseful crime story to entertain the vast opera audience in Italy at the time from Naples to Venice and many other cities. The story was used by Vivaldi (1734) and Pergolesi (1735) on a libretto by Pietro Metastasio (1733) before Mysliveček The first composer to deal with the libretto was Antonio Caldara in a production in Vienna, Austria in 1733.
The topic is inspired by ancient Greek stories and is in a way a romantic drama that ends well. It brings together a newborn supposedly exposed to the sea by order of his father, a king of course; a fraudulent public fight in which the official contender appoints a friend of his to fight in his place to make sure he will win the prize; the prize is the daughter of the king who had his son exposed to the sea, quite a gentleman that king, even in Ancient Greece. You can imagine the embroglio in the city when the rigged public fight was revealed, and then when the real identity of the main culprit was revealed by accident just minutes before he was executed for his fraud, standing there in a white robe on Jupiter’s altar, the executing tools already brandished by order of his own real but unknown father. And the gentleman of a king does not even seem polite enough to excuse himself, to say he was sorry for his totally inhumane decisions in his life. Luckily in all the cases I have been able to listen to, the music saves the story.
And imagine the main culprit, the “champion” who asks his friend to fight for him, is thus trying to conquer the daughter of the local king who is in love with his own friend and who is loved by this very friend. He is trying to steal the love of his friend, after having abandoned the woman he loved in his country, Crete, in order to come to Greece to be able to conquer this daughter of a barbaric father. A French Revolution is definitely needed in this opera topic. Luckily, Beaumarchais and Mozart were supposed to come soon and were already there when Mysliveček produced his version of the tale in 1778 since Beaumarchais produced his play “Le Mariage de Figaro” in Paris in 1778. Mozart composed his “Marriage of Figaro” in 1786 in Vienna, Austria, premiere performance on May 1st, announcing, a century before the Chicago massacre, the famous Labor Day of May 1st still celebrated today. Once a Freemason, always a Freemason.
THREE COLORS – FAKE LOVE – TRUE HYPOCRISY
YAM YAM GOOD CATHOLIC PRIEST FLESH
The Gestalt is French, the three colors of the French flag in proper order, blue, white, and red, plus the three mottoes of the French Republic, Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, both patterns being spread onto Europe, France, Switzerland, Poland, and a few others like England that will never be reached. It has little to do with love, but it has all to do with vengeance and maybe some divine natural justice
Blue means epiphany in repairing the damage caused by a dead husband. White means the epiphanic vengeance against a dissatisfied oversexual wife who tried to get rid of her husband to have legal lovers. Red is an epiphanic resurrection of a retired judge lost in spying on his neighbors and is led to repair what he did though no material harm had been caused.
And it all ends up with the intervention of God’s justice from ahigh in the form of a storm that capsizes a ferryboat between Calais and Dover killing hundreds of people and saving seven, all the epiphanic actors of the three films. Kieslowski who, as indicated in his name, likes snowboarding, or skiing, on scabrous and unethical situations, tries to be the Archangel Gabriel though he only is Christopher, to punish the bad ones (1,400 innocent victims who are not innocent since they did not repair the evil they had caused one way or the other) and redeem the epiphanically repentant. I am sure this filmmaker is eating one pound of priest flesh every morning for breakfast.

The 3 Literacies of Modern Age, the Trikirion of Communication
Review of the Trikirion of Communication:
Symboleracy, Numeracy and Techneracy
The starting point is the phylogeny of communication because the educational topic I am going to address cannot even exist if there is no communication. We have to understand that all Hominins were communicating. Probably all Hominins after Homo Erectus included had some command of some articulated language, but only Homo Sapiens reached the comprehensive and sustainable command of the fully-articulated language, probably around 200,000 BCE.
The next great stage Is the development of representational and symbolic Inscriptions and paintings or engravings on all durable media available, rockface in caves, stone, bone, ivory, and tusks. This symbolic transcription of stories and experience, maybe some spiritual language accompanying some rituals, is the first form of writing seen as symbolic transcription and going back to 300,000 BCE with Homo Naledi, 100,000 BCE with Homo Neanderthalensis, and 50,000 with Homo Sapiens.
Syllabic and alphabetical writing only came around 3,500 BCE for Homo Sapiens. There might have been older cases, but archaeology has not yet covered the whole world for all types of symbolic inscriptions that could have led to symbolic phonetic writing. The next stage was the printing press which enabled mass education and mass communication.
SQUEEZED BETWEEN AI & SCREENS, THEATER IS TRULY STRUGGLING
ENTRE IA & LES ÉCRANS LE THÉÄTRE EST EN QUESTION
The Journal “Théâtres du Monde” has just published its 34th issue. I have two articles published in that journal. So here is first of all the table of contents of the 2024 issue, and I added to these three pages all the preparatory work I have done to write the two articles that deal with the series HUNTERS and the author Lorraine HANSBERRY. These reviews and critiques are all bilingual, English for some and French for the others.
I do feel like a raisin the sun. I also added some documents on the recent question brought up about race in the USA where some states are restricting the teaching of slavery and Black history in the USA because it may, might, would, and I think SHOULD traumatize the poor white darlings who really need some traumatization about their imperialistic ideological terrorism.
ACTION FILMS = FILMS MONGERING MENTAL ALIENATION
Four films or series.
1- John Woo’s Silent Night (2023),
2- Doug Liman’s Road House (2024),
3- Albert Hughes’s The Continental (2023),
4- Marcela Saïd and Julien Despaux’s Ourika (2024),
all seen on Amazon’s Prime Video, hence distributed by Amazon Prime Video, all dealing with violence in our societies and all claiming that violence is justified top answer and respond to a violent society, a violence coming from outside our community, and that outside can introduce anti-immigrant accusations or plainly racist claims, both anti-white and anti-any-ethnicity.
Does it help us understand this violence ? Does these films enable us to devise a proper response to prevent and solve such violence? Both times, a resounding NO. But in both cases, it plays in the hands of the most extreme forces on the nationalist side of life, the side that refuses to consider those who are not pure according to their definitions as the cause of all our problems, and not only those people but also all products that may come from the countries concerned by these ethnic groups. This is true in the USA, in Canada, with Mexico playing the wide-open gate to the previous two, and all over Europe.
What game are these streaming services playing? Preparing coming elections! But it might go the wrong way for them. Now what is the wrong way? Good question. No answer because the ballot boxes will be the only valid answer. First stop, the European Elections in June 2024.
IS BUDDHIST NIBBANA WORTH A BOY-TO-BOY’S KISS?
Mo Xiang’s third volume of the saga on The Blessing of a Heaven Official is there in front of me and this saga is emanating with so much force that no one can resist the tanha that tells them “Go For It! There is pleasure in it all!” I am sure you want to discover the pleasure there is in these volumes, but remember the authoress is a woman and as such she develops a sweet, soft, and catching psychology that will turn you completely berserk if you do not keep your feet well anchored in the earth.
The King Ghost Hua Cheng from Ghost City is behind every move the ascended Xie Lian is inspiring or is inspired by and for. His meeting this Xie Lian after 800 years of supernatural and surreal life in our vast cosmos was so mind-stirring, intelligence-moving, and body-inspiring that the pure ascetic Buddhist he is supposed to be, nearly fell into the cauldron of eroticism. He managed not to fall, but that was very close this time since he was unconscious and Hua Cheng took advantage of the situation and pretended that he had to save his “friend” before he drowned, though Hua Cheng knew perfectly well Xie Lian could not drown, hence cannot die. But, well, Hua Cheng kissed Xie Lian unconscious as he was, I mean in his unconscious mind, because Xie Lian was unconscious, and thus he could kiss him since he could not protest. What a twisted and I guess tortured mind he is. He should try Buddhist meditation to hypnotize himself into plain decent abstinence.
But sure enough, the encounter with the Venerable of Empty Words promises to be a fair adventure in which Xie Lian’s mind and body will be chastised, abused, and even probably raped. There will be quite a lot of repair work to do on the psyche and the conscious rightfulness of our Xie Lian. I guess Hua Cheng will take advantage of such situations to steal a couple more kisses. Never trust a ghost because they have no soul anymore and they have no honor either. So, lying, pretending, and even impersonating what they are not to seduce their gullible victims is some kind of sport for these fuzzy beings, if they can really BE.
OPPENHEIMER, WHEN THE US STARTED TO LOSE THEIR ETHICS
Oppenheimer is an essential character in US history. He is the left-leaning Jew who provided the USA with the Atom Bomb that enabled the US to defeat Japan faster than the planned standard land and air attack by the Soviets and the Chinese Communists, officially endorsed in the Yalta Conference ( 4–11 February 1945) by Churchill, Truman, and Stalin. Truman did not have the atomic bomb yet and will only have it in July 1945. So, he bluffed and agreed with the Soviet plan because he had no alternative … yet. He reneged his agreement in July-August 1945, and he dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on August 6 and 9, 1945. The victory over Germany was a joint effort. The victory over Japan was a self-centered and egotistic solitary procedure not even negotiated with the allies of the US. The United Kingdom might have been informed, maybe. But the USSR was not. The Americans were already and had been for nearly two centuries, on the “America First” and “Make America Great Forever” lines that we have known all along and directly since 1918.
And within 9 years Oppenheimer will be ostracized because he was leaning to the left and there were Communists around him. He submitted and disappeared in some sideline university job. He had nowhere to go, as opposed to Charlie Chaplin who went back to England. As a Jew, he could have gone to Israel, but that was not a real optimistic solution at the time. He might even have gone to the USSR with his communist wife. But he stayed put in the USA, in his closet-university-job. The film does not really explore this dilemma: hide away in the USA, go to the Jewish Israel, or go to the USSR. On one hand, it was his old depressive nature that came back. On the other hand, it would have been going back to his faith and his roots, even if it could have looked like treason. On the third hand, on yet another other hand, it would have been plain treason.
THIRD UNDERGROUND HELL’S LOUNGE - WELCOME
THE DESCENT TO HELL IN THREE STAGES – 2003-2015-2019
I brought together three films and series presented here both in English and French in anti-chronological order.
1- The film 7500, 2019.
2- The series Blindspot, 2015-2020.
3- The film The Dreamers, 2003
If you take them in this backward order, you may understand that today’s world is not at all different from the one in 1968 when the Vietnam War was going on full blast, the Chinese Cultural Revolution was in full swing and the West per se was living its first full sexual revolution with the arrival of the baby-boomers to the full unquenchable desire to hormonally and fully enjoy life. Have some interesting reading.
FIRST STAGE – AMAZON STUDIOS – 7500 – 2019
There is little to say about such a film. It is just artificial entertainment that shows nothing and proves nothing. It is all stressing detail to keep the audience glued to the screen.
SECOND STAGE – BLINDSPOT – FULL SERIES – FIVE SEASONS – 2015-2020
A very long series for very little apart from stressed and stressful situations that always end well anyway, meaning leading to a worse situation in the next episode.
THIRD STAGE – BERNARDO BERTOLUCCI – THE DREAMERS – 2003
Paris Spring 1968. We all know what happened then in France. The victory of the unions, the defeat of the left, and the impossibility for the left to understand that any “events” of that sort will always lead to the victory of the right in the next elections, and today we have to update the data and say the victory of the extreme right. It might be slightly more complex, but basically, that’s what it is and when the left wins this social-minded left will become conservative within at the most two years and it might even turn reactionary within these two years, at times even less. They like power so much.
Too Tricky To Be True, don't you feel it
Amazon Prime Video and Blumhouse Productions love dysfunctioning mothers who, in the name of their love for their children, are ready to kill anyone only on their gut feelings that this anyone is guilty of who knows what apart from the devil.
The film is tricky enough to lure and fool the audience, and the horror of the racist and dysfunctional situation can be believed till the end when the trick is revealed. Note this revelation implies that all daughters from divorced or motherless families are by definition, even by principle, liars.
You might also find the father falling in an ice-cold river under a blizzard of some sort funny, and with his winter coat on, and then he goes on parading around outside, in the unheated car, and even in some kind of social situation without changing his freezing clothes. Like at the Oscars yesterday the costume design Oscar was delivered to a costume designer wearing no clothes at all, except a small cardboard sign where sexually necessary for the picture, meaning that costume designers are so badly treated and paid that they cannot even afford to buy underwear.
A little bit more about the context, schools, religion, Islam and girls, divorced parents, single Muslim male parent, etc. would have maybe given some depth to the story and made it less artificial.
NEVER IMAGINABLE WITH WHITE PEOPLE IN THE LEAD
A film that wants to be science-fiction. So, learn the lessons that emerge from it.
1- Let black doctors or scientists get into a hospital “laboratory” and the most unimaginable horrors will take place.
2- Let black people be fully treated in a hospital and they will become guinea pigs, especially in the hands of black doctors.
3- Let a mother treat her son and the worst possible crime will take place under your own nose and in front of your own eyes.
4- Shall I go on?
If this is not pure racism laced with some sexism, I just wonder what would qualify. How can anyone imagine such man-made scientific schizophrenia to be possible in the hands and under the scalpel of a doctor, a scientist? I guess it is urgent to have clear regulations and controls on such activities. Because be sure that wild clandestine medical experiments are happening every day in the world.
EXISTENTIAL DURATION MEASURED BY MAYAN TIME
Duration is all that plants and animals experience. They last as long as either possible or necessary. When the phylogenic target of bringing in the next generation of life is fulfilled, the plant or the animal can die or wither away. Homo Sapiens, and probably most Hominins developed from experience the need to measure this duration, at first in days and nights, and then in clusters of days and nights. Then they can coordinate their observations and notice some cosmic items go through regular existential cycles, first of all, the sun rising or lowering in the sky with shortening or lengthening days and nights. Second, the moon and its phases are numbered as two, four, or three, but systematically waxing and waning. You can easily measure all that in solar days and that is the beginning of time: a human invention quantifying the duration of anything in observable regular elements.
From what we know the Mayas were among the most advanced people for such time-quantification and they developed all sorts of calendars to do this. But they were neither the first one nor the last one. They were not the best either, though they were very good. I will even say that all the lines of dots or check marks or squares or other geometric forms we can find in all the caves in the world in which Hominins and Homo Sapiens lived and that they decorated in many ways are the quantification of various phenomena, though we don’t always know which ones.
This book by Hunbatz Men concentrates on Mayan calendars but in modern language and modern terms, not necessarily in the real Mayan terms at the time, up to 3,000 years ago. It assumes the Mayas were aware of the leap years, though we do not seem to have any real reason to believe so. The author does not work on any serious lunar hypothesis, maybe a calendar. It vaguely mentions but does not explore the Venus cycles as Morning Star and as Evening Star. To work on the Pleiades, why not, yet one question does not concern such a long cycle but the simple working of the ritualistic 260-day Tzolk’in Calendar that is out of sync with the solar calendar, the 365-day Haab Calendar, and even more so if we consider the 360-day Haab Calendar, and how the ritual activities dictated by the Tzolk’in Calendar can be prescribed and predicted and performed when their Tzolk’in dates can fall at any time, in any season in the Haab Calendar. It is hard enough to coordinate the 12-and-a-half moon cycles over a solar calendar, but many civilizations are dealing with it and managing it with cyclical corrections.
That’s why it would have been good to give us some elements on this very same problem with the Tzolk’in calendar when we can compare with the difficult adaptation of the Muslim Lunar ritualistic calendar to the Gregorian calendar. The floating Ramadan is the result of this necessary adaptation. In other words, the present book is slightly short.
NO LOVE NO FUTURE NO PEACE
To bring together South Africa in the days of apartheid and from the point of view of the white Afrikaners with the tremendous career of Queen with Freddie Mercury and after his death without him shows how ahead of their times this band was when they started as a boys’ band and then when they matured into a full-fledged career.
Apartheid and racism bring segregation and discrimination which systematically reject differences. No future for those who do not have the skin color, the religion, the language, the sexuality, the musical affiliation, even as a simple audience, as the dominant, selected, elected, chosen entity that only has god and science over their heads. And their God has chosen these people to be his chosen people, and these people chosen by God believe what God has explained to them that science justifies their elected-ness, selected-ness or chosen-ness. They are the acme of the creation, and all others are just plain rejects that no one has the heart to destroy.
But be sure God will do it some day. Which god since there are many if not even plenty? Who cares. Each God will recognize his own supporters when they are all dead.
But then you may have no supporters at all, dear God or Gods. It does not really matter. We don’t need these supporters to eat, drink and survive. We have all we need in heaven and the sky. In fact, it was a mistake of ours to have created humanity. The planet would be so much better with none of the human parasites.
Meet the Madman Prophet, who is most the time mixed up with the other God Profit who is universal and derails every so many years, not so many as you may think every ten years or so. But with this God there is always a small population that manages to store away what they need to take over when the crisis has come to an end and the dead victims have been buried or cremated.
Poetry Prison Comoro, Railings All Around
An interesting experiment to bring a poetry workshop in a prison For us who have lived in the mythology of Johnny Cash and San Quentin, and all his songs and work about and in prisons there is nothing strange about that But what happens afterward? The inmates get some satisfaction in their work, writing poetry and singing, slam or whatever it may be, but what’s next after their prison term? No reason to reject the experiment but a follow-up action is necessary to know what these men – and it is only men – have become or will become when they get out of the railings, out of the cage. We are not all Johnny Cash, are we?
Since this operation was sponsored by Alliance Française, it would nice to know what kind of follow-up work this Alliance Française is going to perform. The responsibility cannot be the poet’s. But it is interesting to be confirmed one more time that there are many ways for prison inmates to reform. One element is not taken into account. 98% of the population is Sunni Muslims. What is the impact on such an experiment? What does Islam bring to the experiment that would otherwise not be there. Étienne Russias should try to show us this dimension, since, as far as I know, he is a standard young man educated in the Christian traditions, maybe not the religion, but the traditions definitely like being christened, being buried religiously, being married religiously. How did he deal with a 98 percent Muslim group? How many Muslims were taking part, among the inmates and among the workshop workers?
But that’s the beginning of the intelligent globalization we need, a globalization that is founded on differences and not some westernized homogenization.
ACADEMICALLY NEGLECTED, THE INCAS WERE PRODIGY AGRONOMISTS
(No French Translation) The Incas partly inherited and partly developed phenomenal agriculture in the very hard conditions of the Andes: desertic areas, difficult water resources, high altitude, no real draft animal, no wheel, and yet the Andes before and under the Incas produced miraculous results that the Spaniards destroyed in a few years with epidemics and mass killing.
It is easy to say the Incas were barbarians and that covers the genocide, the culturicide, the systematic uprooting and exposing of anything they could have believed or done, based on NO direct contact with them before the “conquest” that must have killed 50% of the population in two or three years with smallpox and other infantile and childhood diseases, plus a few sword killings when there was some resistance.
Unluckily, Gordon McEwan does not really come to a clear vision in his book because he only bases his work on what has been collected by others essentially on the only source of some Spanish colonizers trying to justify the massacre and apocalyptic colonization. The real barbarians were the colonizers, and it is their testimony that is nearly only taken into account. Archaeology is about one century behind what it is in other regions of the world.
Things have slightly changed over the last ten years, but we are still a long way behind what we should have done. That leaves the door open to some like Hunbatz Men pretending the Mayas, Incas and many other Indigenous Native Americans are the descendants of the humanoid people who were established in two continents that have disappeared without leaving any trace of their existence behind them, Mu and Atlantis. And then it is easy to bring in that the inhabitants of these two disappeared continents were extra-humans from some distant civilization who landed on earth and prospered and then found some humanoid animals there and civilized them. We are their descendants, I mean of these extra-humanly civilized humanoid animals from long ago.
Maybe we could simply ask some questions about the origins of the Incas, the Mayas, and many other native American peoples of South and Meso-America. We know the Native Americans of North America and Canada up to Greenland came from Siberia. But that solution is not, feasible for the Native Americans of South and Meso-America. But we are so mentally colonized by North American Protestant Puritans who believe they are the center of the world that research about South America and Mesoamerica has scandalously been neglected. Some mental colonization of this type is also a genocide since it excludes millions of people from what these North American WASPs call the “human race” which is of course white, etc.
EMPATHETICALLY PATHETIC VIVALDI
L’Olimpiade is an opera on a libretto that was extremely popular in the 18th century in Italy and Europe. The plot is in many ways repulsive: cheating in the Olympic Games. Stealing the woman your friend loves and who loves your friend. Getting rid of the first lover you had for a woman you desire but who will never love you since she loves your friend. She knows you are a cheater, a monster in many ways.
But her father, the king of Sicione is even worse. He had had in the past his son exposed to the sea, in other words, thrown into the sea when a newborn for him to drown. Then he turned his daughter into the prize of a sports event, a fight of some type between several champions: the winner can marry the daughter. Obnoxious.
And he discovers the cheater he has just condemned to be sacrificed on the main altar of the city is his son. He does not even beg for pity and forgiveness. He just accepts the situation and decides – like the king he pretends to be – the son will marry the woman he abandoned in Crete and his friend will marry his daughter, I mean the king’s daughter of course.
How can you save such a pathetic plot? In the 18th century, it was already difficult. Think of The Marriage of Figaro by Mozart or Le Marriage de Figaro by Beaumarchais. The main nobleman, a count if I remember well these useless but meaningful details, sees his authority, his privileges rejected and contained by his wife and the servants of the house, Figaro of course first of all. How can we today find it funny to celebrate a cheater, a liar, a vindicative violent person, and it all has to, ought to, and must be excused because of his drastic fate dictated by his own father and a disobedient servant who is the only humane and modern character: A servant does not have to obey an order if it goes against his own ethics.
IFIASA – ROMANIA – CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
I (Dr. Jacques COULARDEAU) have been working with these researchers and this publisher for several, maybe many after all, years rather freely as for the topics and the methods. They understand that there cannot be any discussion if the people who are discussing any issue or topic are not different.
Blindness is absurd when it is in the mind. Color blindness is racism under another name. Religion-blindness, like in France, leads to repression of some religious practices that do not want to be invisible, unseen, blind-struck. Poverty-blindness is a loincloth for the obscene rejection of homeless people, ungraduated individuals, marginal, different, at times autistic human beings.
That’s the first element I find interesting in this research project. It tries to listen to everyone and discuss all points of view from creationism to the vastest conception of the phylogenic evolution of rocks as well as boys, girls, men, and women, without forgetting poetry, films, music, arts, and science, all sciences.
I always remember André Joly’s angry remark against Descartes, one of the French scientists and philosophers best known in the world for open-mindedness, innovation, and logical research methodology, at least as creative as if not more than Socrates and Plato teaching mathematics to a slave boy of 12. Why André Joly’s anger? He had read Descartes’ introductory remarks to some scientific and philosophical book of his where he explained that proving the world is governed by simple scientific rules and laws that are said to be natural, is the best way to prove the existence of God. André Joly considered God should be banned from any intellectual or scientific activity. In one word, he was French. That was in the late 1980s.
Molière will always be the best, even in classic alexandrines (sorry no translation available of the following lines):
“Cachez-moi donc ce dieu d’enfer, de perdition,
Dieu de soufre et d’encens. Ne jamais concevoir
Cette logique horreur qui tue pure raison
Vous enferme l’esprit dans le sang d’un ciboire”
(Molièr’, Scapin, Tartuff’, Acte VI, Scene 3
Mais que diable allait-il faire en cette galère)
IMPERIALISM OF ALL COLORS AND SHADES
Imperialism is the natural vision of the United States of America on the world around them, starting just in front of their doors in their suburban neighborhoods.
Each citizen has the right to impose his own vision and rights onto his community, his neighborhood, his neighbors, his city, his county, his state, the USA, and naturally the whole world. It is Monroe’s Manifest Destiny of the USA. Tragic ! ! ! !
But to believe that ONE BLACK AMERICAN will be able to bring down one of the biggest Mafia families in Sicily is as absurd as planning to land on the sun and have a stroll there. Why don’t Americans mind their own business: Homeland Terrorism, CIA Terrorism, FBI Terrorism, PD Terrorism? And this list is not exhaustive ! ! ! !
What about social media Terrorism, School terrorism, Pedagogical and Didactic Terrorism, and Pharmaceutical Terrorism with opioids and other fatal but legal drugs? And what about the Fourth age (beyond 80) Terrorism with unfair competition from the just-under-the-80-year-old-limit hooligans who brandish all types of HooliGUNS that are as holy and sanitary as a waterless restroom in the middle of the Sahara? The exile Abraham condemned Ishmail and his slave mother to: go and die for the glory of Isaac ! ! ! !
The imperialistic mind in the USA is so strong, that even a Black vigilante cannot resist five minutes to the violent desire to intervene in Italy and defeat a Mafia family, and waste a lot of good wine. That Black vigilante has nothing to do in Italy. Let hjim go back to Nerw York, Chicago or Los Angeles. He is not some OSS 117 secret agent.
STALE CRUMBS UNDER THE LAST SUPPER TABLE
Multiverses are crisscrossing one another in this series, at times within each episode, at times even in the middle of a scene, just for twenty frames. But the passage from A to B, from the human world to the crazy imagined world, is easy. Just drown yourself and off you go and can come back if you are revived within five minutes earthen time. Otherwise, bye bye food, drink , clothing or even family jewels. You will stay on the other side.
This series does not even pretend to explain how 150 million people disappeared in two seconds, including unborn fetuses. I guess explanations are for naïve and senseless, insensitive, non-sensible people who consider if you do not provide them with a sequence A because B since C and therefore D, you are speaking gibberish to the birds of that Italian saint who spoke to birds and fed himself once in a while on one of them he captured and cooked on a campfire.
Enjoy the complete mess & the end will be a good old Hollywoodian happy ending, though not with that many children ever after.
BEAUTY FOR THOSE WHO SERVE – SALVATION FOR THE JUST
I covered the Festival of La Chaise-Dieu nine times from 1996 to 2004 for the local press La Galipote in Vertaizon, Puy de Dôme, and L’Écho de la Haute Loire, Le Puy en Velay.
When you get into this abbey church you cannot come out unchanged. A visit is a real epiphany. I don’t know if you meet God or the Cosmos, but, surely, you meet with a transcendence that goes so far beyond the simple rain outside that you may feel as if a storm of butterflies was falling onto you, and like psychopomps of eternal life, taking you on their wings to the other side of nowhere, that’s somewhere where everything is music, light, colors and dancing.
The Choir Tapestries are also unique and once again you can do what this book does: look at the details, the quotations, and the Biblical characters, or you can do what this book does not do: look at the characters as if they were your direct relatives in the street at rush hour, feel their hearts beating and their minds palpitating and you follow them into another world where war does not exist, where work is divine, where knowledge and science are the real salvation of this universe.
You draw one thread and you let it come to you and along the thread, like a knotted cords of the Incas, Quipus, you communicate and empathetically merge with all the knots’ contain and you start traveling back in the past to know where we are coming from, and into the future to imagine sacred music in 1,000 years. Jacques COULARDEAU, LA CHAISE DIEU, 3015: Les aventures de Loukardill en musique sucrée (Sweet Music, University of Jupiter on Europa), Édition en français, 5 juillet 2014, KDP Edition, Kindle Store on all Amazon sites.
And when you come back from that trip back to the future, you are ready to go back to a trip back to the past again. Dunn North Carolina and Davis California and the discovery of racism as the sin of those who think they are the selected people ignoring what their gods tell them that there is no chosen people, that we all have to strive to prosper and reject fake racist competition to practice meditation and empathy with the suffering of the cosmos and the deep desires of all human beings: to know peace and to love all those who have love to give or need to receive love to learn how to give some in their turn. Jacques COULARDEAU, Black Widow Lover: Amour et Veuves Noires, Édition en français, 19 février 2022, KDP Edition, Kindle Store on all Amazon sites.
That’s the miracle of La Chaise-Dieu and the Choir Tapestries you have to spend at least 13 hours with, one hour per tapestry. But You better get this book and learn it by heart, or take it along, with some kind of a stool, so that you can sit in front of each triptych and discover all the details about them in the book The rest in your mind, your soul, your spirit and you will discover your spirit is as holy as holy can be in our forlorn and abandoned world.
CANNIBALISTIC PARANOID NARCISSISM
This film is probably a masterpiece, but it has all the defects of a provocation. It will have to teach its audience how to step back from their erotic voyeurism in order to see the deep perverse psychological logic in the three main male characters.
They may desire one another two by two or all three at once. They may desire only themselves as males, but also with one or two female disruptions, female entertainments, and female discardable toys. Women are only distractions, as Blaise Pascal would say, from the main divine target of men perverted into enjoying a limitless life in excessive wealth that destroys all possible human and humane perspectives, hence any moral or ethical hesitation before doing anything pleasurable for the man in bliss, even if and maybe especially because it is hurtful to the targets and the suffering beneficiaries of the bullying since it is bullying in the end.
If you are not from that top social class, but from a slightly lower class, and hence only have limited means you have to take care of and economize, then your only hope in this society is to cannibalize one family of the top aristocracy. That’s nothing but a narcissistic project because you are going to do it for the sole love and sake of yourself, and only yourself, not even your soul. At the end of it, you will be the king of the estate, but the king will be naked and the emperor will be standing and strutting in his new clothes. The main character will love it because these new clothes are light and they hide nothing, but only to his own eyes in the mirror in the bathroom he will break with his own fists after enjoying his fluid liberation in the washstand.
POPULAR SUCCESS FOR L’OLIMPIADE
JOSEF MYSLIVEČEK MAKES L’OLIMPIADE MELODRAMATIC
This topic, and its standard timeline and suspense architecture was used vastly on Italian opera stages in the 18th century. Josef Mysliveček is one composer, the latest then, who used the topic, subject, drama, and suspenseful crime story to entertain the vast opera audience in Italy at the time from Naples to Venice and many other cities. The story was used by Vivaldi (1734) and Pergolesi (1735) on a libretto by Pietro Metastasio (1733) before Mysliveček The first composer to deal with the libretto was Antonio Caldara in a production in Vienna, Austria in 1733.
The topic is inspired by ancient Greek stories and is in a way a romantic drama that ends well. It brings together a newborn supposedly exposed to the sea by order of his father, a king of course; a fraudulent public fight in which the official contender appoints a friend of his to fight in his place to make sure he will win the prize; the prize is the daughter of the king who had his son exposed to the sea, quite a gentleman that king, even in Ancient Greece. You can imagine the embroglio in the city when the rigged public fight was revealed, and then when the real identity of the main culprit was revealed by accident just minutes before he was executed for his fraud, standing there in a white robe on Jupiter’s altar, the executing tools already brandished by order of his own real but unknown father. And the gentleman of a king does not even seem polite enough to excuse himself, to say he was sorry for his totally inhumane decisions in his life. Luckily in all the cases I have been able to listen to, the music saves the story.
And imagine the main culprit, the “champion” who asks his friend to fight for him, is thus trying to conquer the daughter of the local king who is in love with his own friend and who is loved by this very friend. He is trying to steal the love of his friend, after having abandoned the woman he loved in his country, Crete, in order to come to Greece to be able to conquer this daughter of a barbaric father. A French Revolution is definitely needed in this opera topic. Luckily, Beaumarchais and Mozart were supposed to come soon and were already there when Mysliveček produced his version of the tale in 1778 since Beaumarchais produced his play “Le Mariage de Figaro” in Paris in 1778. Mozart composed his “Marriage of Figaro” in 1786 in Vienna, Austria, premiere performance on May 1st, announcing, a century before the Chicago massacre, the famous Labor Day of May 1st still celebrated today. Once a Freemason, always a Freemason.
THREE COLORS – FAKE LOVE – TRUE HYPOCRISY
YAM YAM GOOD CATHOLIC PRIEST FLESH
The Gestalt is French, the three colors of the French flag in proper order, blue, white, and red, plus the three mottoes of the French Republic, Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, both patterns being spread onto Europe, France, Switzerland, Poland, and a few others like England that will never be reached. It has little to do with love, but it has all to do with vengeance and maybe some divine natural justice
Blue means epiphany in repairing the damage caused by a dead husband. White means the epiphanic vengeance against a dissatisfied oversexual wife who tried to get rid of her husband to have legal lovers. Red is an epiphanic resurrection of a retired judge lost in spying on his neighbors and is led to repair what he did though no material harm had been caused.
And it all ends up with the intervention of God’s justice from ahigh in the form of a storm that capsizes a ferryboat between Calais and Dover killing hundreds of people and saving seven, all the epiphanic actors of the three films. Kieslowski who, as indicated in his name, likes snowboarding, or skiing, on scabrous and unethical situations, tries to be the Archangel Gabriel though he only is Christopher, to punish the bad ones (1,400 innocent victims who are not innocent since they did not repair the evil they had caused one way or the other) and redeem the epiphanically repentant. I am sure this filmmaker is eating one pound of priest flesh every morning for breakfast.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Waking Up In Hospital
- 2. Vacationing in a Hospital https://jacquescoulardeau.medium.com/vacationing-in-a- hospital-ed2823b565c8 The unnamed character in this long poem is trying to follow what is happening in his mind after the accident, after he fell to the ground unconscious when trying to get back up after tying up his shoe. He is entirely locked up in his own self and he is even seeing himself from outside himself, he is the watcher, and the watchee is there lying on the sidewalk and then later on suffering on a hospital bed.
