" a deeply spiritual concept was now being given a biological explanation " ... like the deeply human tendendy (some would say need) to find patterns in chaos and presume that the implausible explanations previous generations imaginitively came up with are based upon more than imagination just because we were told them at a young enough age and with enough seriousness? Life and the universe are beyond our (current or previous) level of understanding: must be a sky wizard.

Swan Solo is a terrible pun. If "Han" were pronounced to rhyme with swan then it'd be passable, but who'd recognise "Honn Solo" or call a swan a "swanne"?

That's it, when I get into the astronaut program and into space (it's bound to happen sometime soon, they've had decades to ask me, can't be long now!) I'll take that bullet and gladly consume some up there, from my own weight allowance. Gotta make it right for all the kids!

Incidetally, blockchain is just the idea of giving everybody who uses an app the database instead of having it centrally (or on a few servers, cloud etc). The issue with it (and a huuuuge one) comes from the security processes being provided (for bitcoin and etherium and all the big ones) by 'proof of work'. Meaning that all transactions are authenticated by someone proving they have "done the work" of mining for new coin, which gets harder each time. So many trillions of computations are now done just to allow bitcoin to continue operating (and NFT uses the same system). For example a single bitcoin transaction used enough power at the start of the year to power the average British home for 2 months. A single VISA transaction uses 0.2 watts. Here is an interesting article on NFT (which is literally just bidding for the right to say you own - and not exclusively - a link that anybody can access, and the continuity of is determinant upon the longevity of whoever hosts/runs it) https://memoakten.medium.com/the-unreasonable-ecological-cost-of-cryptoart-2221d3eb2053

The IT Crowd has a thing about a fire where someone emails in about it :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EBfxjSFAxQ

Reminds me of this music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MejbOFk7H6c (anybody who hasn't seen the other music videos of this band - OK Go - should watch them, awesome stuff. Especially the electric unicycle and umbrella one and the freefall/zero g one :)

.. a nice idea, but perhaps they instead need a breakup app for ships/shores? "Is your relationship all washed up? Feeling beached in the seas of love? There's plenty more ships in the suez!"

"I dare you to spend hundreds of millions (or more) on taking me somewhere I am probably very poorly trained and suited for to then physically assault you in a way you are very poorly trained and suited for". Doesn't seem likely. Mind you, Musk is a bit nuts.

Your title is misleading. It implies communication is possible between two dreamers. You mean something like "communication between a lucid dreamer and someone awake in their presence is sometimes possible". Which is far from amazing, just a different level of awakeness/response to stimuli leaking through.
