@mariapopova If anyone can talk about science and maths and art and life and words as being different facets of the same natural thing, it is her.


She’s the very embodiment of Syntopica.


for e.g. What do relentless persistence, witchcraft, astronomy, mathematics, science fiction, the moon landing and an undying parental love, have in common? Johannes Kepler.

When I first began reading Brain Pickings—eons ago—I would skip her commentary in the “margins” and go straight to the quotes, because that is what I wanted.
Now a days the quotes pale into insignificance as I rush to read what she has to day. If ever there was a case of the frame being more beautiful than the art it contains, it is the Marginalian’s (@mariapopova)

ur still an artist if u don’t release ur work.
ur still a writer if u don’t publish a piece.
art is still art even in private.

We don’t need Al to make art.
We need Al to write emails and clean the house and deliver the groceries so humans can make more art.
