San dot paintings

San paintings - Matopo hills of Zimbabwe. Dot patterns - cave art. San people were among the first humans - the oldest people in the world?

Dots are part of a complex system of markings that represent life force - potency. An attempt to represent the spiritual dimension - a mistrust of appearance. Religious iconography.

Also they used a long red line through their paintings on the cave wall - to divide the human from the spirit worlds? Arrrgh can’t remember.

What happened to the hot badge?

“And if you are the partying type, all you have to do is don your `Hot Badge’ which has electronic information about your taste in food, music, hobbies programmed in it. When you enter a social gathering, it automatically takes you to other like-minded pe ople who are wearing similar badges!”
