about

A tongue-in-cheek riff on Modernity and the myth of Progress...while attempting to take the point of view of the Universe....and from the humble perspective of my short career as a research associate with Cornell University (in tropical avian ecology). Underlying question: Can Science, Technology & Reason pave the way to a better, more moral humanity, as Steven Pinker and Peter Singer argue? Or are they inherently corrupt and non-sustainable (acc. Vandana Shiva & Chris Hedges...)?

lyrics

What went down as a Mona Lisa? Ornithology...
What went down as Maccu Piccu? Ornithology...
What went down as elevation? Ornithology...
What went down as history? Ornithology...
What was down as always?
What went down at sea?
What went down was half of you and me...
What went down was mathematic... Ornithology...
What went down to the landfill? Ornithology...
What went down as freedom? Ornithology...
What went down was so romantic...Ornithology...
What went down as gravitas?
What went down the hole?
What went south was no accident,
What went down was a landslide victory...
What went down as progress?
What went down as rare and pretty ?
What went down as sweet success?
What went down was futile...
What went down as gold...
What went down got fossilized...
What went down was some ancient centerfold...
