Unlock the secrets of longevity with a surprising twist – raw eggs, chocolate, and olive oil! 🍳🍫Imagine crafting a chocolate moose, a delightful artistic endeavour that can lead you on a wild adventure – a moose hunt. But this isn’t just about art; it’s about rekindling our primal instincts and keeping our minds young through challenges and creativity. And it’s all inspired by the amazing moose, an environmental hero that prevents ponds from disappearing, ensuring a thriving ecosystem. Dive into the enigmatic world of ancient cave paintings, where art and nature blend to inspire the reintroduction of species and the preservation of our planet. In a nutshell, savour some mousse for longevity, introduce moose to the landscape, and embark on a creative journey with a purpose!🎨🌿🦌

Before we talk about the Moose as a Keystone Species, first we’re going to look at mousse. This isn’t just an elaboration upon a pun. I have for some time been toying with the concept of the Chocolope – a mythical antelope crafted from chocolate, a concept used in visualisation to stimulate the reward system to enter the hardwired Celebration Response. And like totemic myths of first game animals painted into being using rock art with a paint you mix from ochre powder and fat, this is a mythical game animal painted into being using chock art from a powder you mix together from cocoa powder and fat.

The moose / mousse thing then grew out of that when I realised Chocolate Moose was a better name than Chocolope. As an extension of this, I realised how it dovetailed with something I had going on in parallel: considering the benefits that moose have on the landscape as ecosystem engineers as the next in my series of Keystone Creations. A choc art chocolate moose could be the next in my series of paintings. At the time of writing, other than a few test sketches, I’ve only done this in the virtual world of AI, but plan to do more. And from considering the eco benefits of moose, it was natural to consider the benefits that the right kind of chocolate mousse could have on our health, given how the ingredients match with the daily food intake of the longest ever lived people on the planet. And so the punning analogy continued to expands.

Here’s the YouTube video I made as a result. Or read on below.

Here’s a simple and effective technique for preparing a delicious chocolate mousse that offers numerous advantages.

Meet Emma Morano, the extraordinary lady who lived to the ripe age of 117. Her secret? She savored two raw eggs every morning! And then there’s Jeanne Calment, who broke records by living to a jaw-dropping 122 years. Her daily routine included indulging in olive oil and chocolate. Yes, you heard it right – raw eggs, chocolate, and olive oil. It’s a trio of tantalizing longevity!

We cannot make any guarantees that these ingredients possess the elixir of eternal youth, but they may play a significant role in the overall equation. Envision this scenario: armed with just these three remarkable components, you possess the ability to craft something undeniably delectable. It’s been suggested that having a purpose to rise from one’s slumber is of utmost importance, and a culinary creation as delightful as this may serve as the very impetus needed to greet the day with genuine delight.

Creating traditional chocolate mousse can be quite labor-intensive, requiring careful preparation and attention to detail. However, there is an alternative approach to making this delectable dessert that is both efficient and time-saving. In just a minute, you can whip up a delicious chocolate mousse without the hassle.

Prepare a delectable treat by gently melting some high-quality dark chocolate. To achieve a silky texture, incorporate a small amount of milk. For individuals who prefer dairy-free alternatives, select a brand that does not contain seed oils. Opt for ones made with ingredients like oats, water, and a touch of sea salt, or oats and hemp seeds. Once the chocolate is smooth and well-blended, remove it from the heat and carefully mix in a splash of extra virgin olive oil from a reputable source.

Next, add two vibrant egg yolks obtained from responsibly raised chickens. Thoroughly combine all the ingredients, and voilà! You can savor this delightful concoction while it’s still warm, or refrigerate it for later enjoyment.

Although the dish is delicious, one might argue that it lacks the characteristic lightness and fluffiness traditionally associated with a mousse. As a result, the question arises as to whether it can truly be classified as such.

Another important aspect to consider is the concept of finding a meaningful motivation to start our day, as briefly mentioned above. In truth, this goes beyond simply indulging in a delicious breakfast and delves into the realm of purpose and drive.

So let’s solve both these issues by taking this to the next level.

Here’s how to use this magical mixture to make a moose.

Grab a paintbrush, dip it in the delightful mixture, and let your artistic talents bring a moose to life. So there you go: now you have made a moose from this mixture, and you’ve also been creative.

Now you can go on a moose hunt. Our ancient ancestors were hunters. We’re hardwired for it. You can take turns with a friend to hide your moose painting and then leave a trail of clues. Rather than going straight to gratification, you get the extra fulfilment of earning it by successfully completing a challenge. And using your mind to solve the clues will help to keep your mind young. And if you additionally set a time limit, it could motivate movement and exercise, which also helps keep you young.

That’s not the only reason I’m steering this towards the animal rather than the dessert.

The moose is a keystone species, and here’s why.

You may be familiar with the idea of vegetative succession. Left to its own devices, grassland will scrub up, and left to it’s own devices, scrubland will eventually become closed canopy forest.

But just as in a city you want different areas performing different functions, for an optimal ecosystem, you want a mix of habits in different areas. You have natural processes – animal impacts – which will halt succession at various stages in different places. Some areas may stay as grassland, other may scrub up into bush, and at the borders between the plain and the bush, biodiversity thrives. And then in other areas you’ll get taller trees and in some you’ll get closed canopy forest, and it’s this mosaic of different habits that you’re after.

Of the many types of habitat important for biodiversity, one is ponds. And these have their own process of vegetive succession. Water plants grow in the ponds, particularly those in woodland. Succession causes these ponds to fill up more and more, becoming grown over and eventually disappearing altogether, which is a problem for all the wildlife that needs these ponds, such as amphibians, insects, waterfowl and fish.

This is where the moose comes in. Moose come to the rescue, wading into the water and munching on plants, keeping ponds open for various wildlife. They’re nature’s engineers, much like beavers. So when we talk about the “insane benefits” of moose, we mean it – they’re environmental heroes!

A theory on the ancient cave paintings that will continnue to cycle in and out of favour is that they were created for purposes of sympathetic magic. Paint the fauna into being on the rock walls, and it will cause it to appear magically in the landscape.

There is a certain way in which this could be true: art has always been a great way to enhance and amplify certain feelings and values, changing hearts and minds. The re-introduction of species depends on people wanting it to happen. Helping people value a species is a great way to help with this.

Anyway, in short, what have we said?

1: introduce mousse to your diet.

2: introduce moose to the landscape.
