In search of nectar, or deliberate haste.

In search of nectar, or deliberate haste.

I don't know if you've ever seen a hawk moth collecting nectar from flowers, but it's a very interesting sight.

And it's interesting for many reasons.

Firstly, this butterfly is often confused with a hummingbird; they are indeed similar, both in appearance and behavior.

They hover over a flower like a tiny helicopter, lowering their proboscis or beak into the flower's heart and slowly savoring the sweet nectar. Although for them, it probably happens very slowly, for those watching, it's simultaneously slow and lightning fast.

At any moment, a butterfly or bird can change its flight path and head in the direction we most desire.

In some of my endeavors, I'd like to approach this level of control over my actions, where I do everything precisely, deliberately, and at the same time quickly.

For example, this would be useful when cutting fish, when you don't want it exposed to air for long periods.

This kind of precision is achieved through frequent practice, and it's common among tuna cutters, as tuna spoils very quickly during defrosting, and the fish is expensive, so spoiling it would be very costly.

I've personally worked with other types of fish, but this would be useful in various fields.

One area where automation probably isn't possible is when writing your posts, because you need time to think through your words :)
