My goodness, what a fascinating piece. I'm no scientist and have never really thought about what a stem cell is: this concept of pluripotency, and how it's applied more widely, is slightly mind-blowing. It did strike me as amusing in a way that the "source" wanted to see itself reflected in gazillions of mirrors - that's some Ego and maybe we should be more understanding about our own ๐ - but I appreciate the clarification that "creation" is more about an "overflowing". Maybe, at a micro level, anyone creating, whether through writing, other forms of art or engineering a machine or form of technology, knows that feeling of fullness spilling out when inspiration hits.

Lovely.
