And so the big difference between dinosaurs and cockroaches is adaptability: one is able to adjust, while the other, apparently, couldn't...

And "observed thing" could include remembered thing, fantasized thing, fictionalized thing, recorded thing, trans-altered thing.

I think animation is a very truthful way to express your thoughts, because the process is very direct. That's what I've always liked about animation, particularly abstract animation.
