I must confess that I have not been diligent with regards this form of communication recently. I have been much preoccupied in these higher regions of space/time existence with discourse amongst my fellow explorers from every sphere of science and every era concerning the way the universe is unfolding, which proves to be an endlessly fascinating topic. In truth the petty problems of planet earth seem so irrelevant when compared to such larger matters, and, as my dear wife and my good friend Alfred Wallace have so often reiterated, nothing much seems to change there for the better. Humanity is still absorbed in its primitive struggles and its foolish dogmas, and if I am honest I grow weary of observing such naive goings on. The present preoccupations there seem to concern the endlessly futile clash of east and west ideologies, and also vociferous discussion about so-called climate change. I’m not sure which of those matters is the more pointless. To be sure there is vague relevance in both subjects, but if only humanity was able to foresee the much vaster developments ahead of it, which are going to obliterate all need to worry about either, then a great deal of time and hot air (of every kind) would be saved!

Ah well I must leave this now. I have a fascinating meeting scheduled with Aristotle, Wittgenstein, Albert Camus, and Nelson Mandela (newly arrived amongst us) concerning the definition of perfection. It promises to be quite heated!
