Wow, I’m not sure a dark cave-like space is my idea of being most restful, I tend to rest when I’m in flow, rather than doing nothing, but I can understand why others would seek it out. My mountain is actually just a large hill. Everything’s on a smaller scale in the UK. I think I made the animation from an image I made… struggling to remember now. My book is called The Bitcoin Singularity, and you can find it on Amazon and Apple Books and Barnes & Noble, etc. I self-published as I figured that would be the quickest route to market, which was important as it’s about AI and Bitcoin, and so the story will quickly become out of date. It is set in the near future of 2026.
This is a good place. You can feel it from the moment you step in can’t you…quite a different vibe from everywhere else on the internet. I made my walking song into a song and video… because this is the sort of frivolously playful activity I like to do of a weekend. Hope you enjoy! I sang the song, then got my son to sing it as he has a nice singing voice, and then fed that into Suno which turned it into a full song. It is J R R Tolkien’s lyrics. The Road Goes Ever On And On.

the darkroom chamber is just a continuation of sleeping with eyes closed and the rest that brings. The biology relates to the pineal gland involved in the circadian rhythms secreting seratonin and melatonin to induce sleep and the dream state from the darkness of closing our eyes, aided by the darkness of the night, which is further aided by shelter, shutters and being under blankets. If the conditions of total darkness are extended past the day/night cycle then the pineal gland keeps secreting the seratonin and melanin until the body is saturated at which point it naturally synthesises another molecule to the equation which makes it into pinoline which is a chemical that our pineal gland is flooding our body with while we are in the womb (and stops as soon as we are born) and also at the moment of death. It only takes about 2-3 days of total darkness for the first tiny traces of pinoline to appear. Pinoline is the precursor to the precursor of DMT which slowly synthesises from extending time in the dark.
ok I just watched the video from beginning to end on a computer screen and enjoyed the images in their fullness and the story presented. Well Done! I see what you mean by hobbity houses and understand your attraction to them. I can see that the Tolkien reality draws heavily on the ancient reality of earthen masonry shelter.
