Science is a good tool, gathering data is understandably valuable for a generic, middling picture of life. However it is the unique, the irrepressible vibrant energy of the individual ,acting and emoting via experiences, stories, beliefs etc...that adds the diversifying richness that keeps the life spark glowing! As diversity is health in ecosystems and our bodies (and minds?) are ecosystems ..then dah!!!!! Until we leap past the fear of challenging the "always has been" (nonsense...never true) we are as trapped and that is never really a safe place to be. So this nice list is comforting and do-able but as it conforms to some standard tropes.....it is but a flower in a vase, in a trap!
