It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.””<br/><br/> - <em><strong>Buckminster Fuller</strong> <br/>(via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://tobia.tumblr.com/">tobia</a>)</em>http://luminousinsect.tumblr.com/post/51089093363http://luminousinsect.tumblr.com/post/51089093363Wed, 22 May 2013 12:56:04 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/94133103341c28f5062bcd23bdbc1ea4/tumblr_mlblibB8eZ1r1knwfo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://animals-animals-animals.tumblr.com/post/48310713804/sea-anemone-larva-cerianthus-sp-by">animals-animals-animals</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Sea Anemone Larva (Cerianthus sp.) | <a href="http://danibarchana.deviantart.com/art/U-F-O-353321957">DaniBarchana</a></p> </blockquote>http://luminousinsect.tumblr.com/post/51089071686http://luminousinsect.tumblr.com/post/51089071686Wed, 22 May 2013 12:55:47 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a9f9be17330d376781981f1c1b423f58/tumblr_mjruajaKd91rpq8j1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://onlyartists.tumblr.com/post/50284122783/spanishbaroqueart-tomas-yepes-virgin-of-the">onlyartists</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://spanishbaroqueart.tumblr.com/post/50152096533/tomas-yepes-virgin-of-the-forsaken-1644">spanishbaroqueart</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Tomás Yepes</p> <p><strong>Virgin of the Forsaken </strong>(1644)</p> <p><small>Monasterio de las Descalzas Reales, Madrid, Spain</small></p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgen_de_los_desamparados"><strong>Our Lady of the Forsaken</strong></a>, known as ‘<em>Virgen de los Desamparados’ </em>(Valencian: ‘<em>Mare de Déu dels Desamparats</em>’), is the patroness of Valencia (Spain). The feast of Our Lady of the Forsaken is held on the <strong>second Sunday of May</strong>.
