"Horton Hears a Who" is a lot more profound than people realize. Perhaps our entire universe exists on a speck of dust that itself exists within an entire other universe, which in turn is on another speck. And what if the atoms that make up our universe in turn contain their own entire universes. Reality is both infinitely large and infinitely small. It extends infinitely in all directions and dimensions.

It's a troublesome #world. All the #people who're in it/are troubled with troubles almost every minute./You ought to be thankful, a whole heaping lot,/for the places and people you're not.
------
E' un mondo insidioso. Tutte le persone che lo abitano/sono tormentate da problemi quasi ogni minuto./Dovresti essere grato, e anche parecchio,/di non trovarti in certi posti e nei panni di qualcun altro.

So, I asked #ChatGPT to write #Genesis Chapter 1 in the style of #DoctorSeuss.

------

In the start, when the earth was new
God looked and said, "I'll make a zoo!"
First, he made the sky so blue
And then the earth, all green and new.

But a dark and empty earth? Oh, my!
God said, "I need light, and that's no lie!"
And with a flash and a bang and a big, fat boom
Light appeared, filling up the room!

------

... and on it goes. I gotta say, it's a delight, all the way through.
