What We Are Up Against | One BIGG Island in Space

Posted on August 16, 2022

Everything that is good (or bad) that humans do in the world started out as an idea. Baseball was an idea. Music was an idea. I am awfully impressed (and grateful) that someone long ago had the idea to cook an egg or eat an oyster.
