..recently is, according to our quick survey, for the world champions of rights, reason, peace and free association  (and their Liberal less abuse/more rights allies) unsurprisingly the pensive threnody Cosmogony by the great (and derided) singer-philosopher Bjork, who uses advanced technology (and is using the attached graphic system as a tool to get kids thinking in schools ) to craft this song on how conceptions change but the seeds of  philosophy –which Socrates said began in  love of wonder– endures…and is inspiring people to craft an amazing array of versions…imagine this as a protest song:

Heaven, heaven’s bodies
Whirl around me make me wonder …
And they say: Back then our universe was an empty sea
Until a silver fox until a silver fox and her cunning mate
Began to sing a song that became the world we know

Heaven, heaven’s bodies
Whirl  around me make me wonder …
And they say: Back then our universe was a coal black egg…

Until the god inside burst out and from its shattered shell

He made what became the world we know

Heaven, heaven’s bodies
Whirl around me make me wonder …
And they say: Back then our universe was an endless land
Until our ancestors woke up and before they went back to sleep….

They carved it upl into the world we know

Heaven, heaven’s bodies
Whirl  around me make me wonder …
And they say: Back then our universe wasn’t even there
Until a sudden bang and then there was light, was sound, was matter
And it all became the world we know

Heaven, heaven’s bodies
Whirl  around me dance eternal…
