Scientists and artists

What’s improved my life? The Internet (scientists), digital technologies (scientists), photography (scientists and artists), planes for travel (scientists), Apple devices (scientists and artists).

What makes life worth living? Art! All musicians as artists. The joy listening to Kanye and JAY Z gives me (art). The joy I get from making my own artwork. My joy of reading poetry (art). Also my joy from philosophy (philosophy and art).

What does it mean to improve life?

Increase physical strength and well-being. Increase optimism and hope for a brighter future.

Increased vigor, joyfulness, and increased ability and audacity to attempt greeter feats!
