"Thom the World poet, is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Tom's poetry tapes and guest appearences with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied with in seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not? why not indeed!!"

WHEN DISSECTING THE BRAIN OF EINSTEIN/LENIN/ABORIGINES
Theories were advanced to explain their
prominence/divergences
"Extra
layer of brain cells" "Far larger than a 'normal' "brain"
Inductive
reasoning dilutes science. Victorians used phrenology
to
theorize shape of head with criminal tendencies. It would be good
if
life was biologically determined by blood type and genes -
background
checks and criminal trials could factor in heritage and origins
for
diluted responsibility and a sympathy vote. Same for politicians-
brain
scans and blood tests could determine leadership skills/
much
as we do for immigrants and criminals. "Pre-crime",
Phillip
K Dick's pre-policing criteria might forestall school massacres
Far
better than metal detectors are mental detectors (psychologists or
psychics
who
seek signs of aberrant behavior via behavior patterning.
Prediction
is all! Science samples Auschwitz to Pol Pot's Killing Fields.
Casting
spells to diminish us destroys authority and credibility
Words
can heal and kill. Songs can seduce and abandon.
All
magic works both ways, Janus!
