So to avoid talking about something going on in the background right now over here, let's switch over to some more benign topics that no one can get into trouble with.
I made mention recently just as an aside in the caption to one of the pics, that the traditional 'Ferrari red' paint look comes from quite a unique process.
Luca Turin is not the only one who has pointed out how this all comes to be on the cars and which seems to make them look fast - and that's despite that there is some considerable psychology research into the fact that people do see the color 'red' as suggestive in their neural processing as indicative of something moving quickly.

It is an action-suggestive thing.
The traditional Ferrari paint job involves a minimum of three color-layering processes: firstly silver is painted on (this is not just raw metal, but an actual silver color pigment that is used), next one of the suite of reds Ferrari likes to typically use, and finally pink varnish is coated over the cured red paintwork.
Somehow there is a dynamic that makes the underlying red really jump out.
It's probably not that well known that all of the big brands that produce fragrances be it for women's cosmetics and perfumes as well as men's aftershaves and colognes - all use a German-made technology which detects each individual molecule in any airborne compound whatsoever; and so they know exactly down to the complete precise molecular structure of each and every one of their competitors' work.
However, internally, they are not allowed access to any of the compounds their own 'House' technicians and creators are working on either at the given time they compose them or even at any later time after they have had their work released to the public!
But in any case, these molecules are all industrially-synthesized. None of them at all in any of the major mainstream producers (other than Maurer & Wirtz of Germany and Florence, and Santa Maria Novella of Florence), use 'naturals' or mature their liquids in casks anymore.
So this German machine which is able to classify each compound, analyze and deconstruct them and then reformulate whole entire 'new' compositions - is able to formulate 'new' compounds basically by 'cutting and pasting' whatever elements the companies' internal designers want to arrange (re-arrange) from cheating on whatever their opposition already has out there.
Which is why so many brand lines these days more-or-less smell all the same or at least broadly too similar to really stand out as actually different.
When someone such as a Luca Turin or a Serge Lutin says things like 'the fragrance is translucent' - what they mean is that there is a layering process that has happened, in which something solid as a base has been 'laid-down' first, and then the powerful heart and also top notes have been installed next, but then something else has happened too...
Some almost-clear olfactory varnish, as it were, has been painted over the top through which light shines in both directions, creating energy and bouncing back information.
And when they say the thing has been 'orchestrated' they mean that each component when placed together tells an olfactory musical narrative: theme, dynamic tension, unfolding, harmony, crescendo, resolution.
These are not things that can happen with synthetics only.
There's no 'time in the cask;' no 'time in the dark and mysterious cellar.'
Why people keep supposing 'God' is a simple thing or understanding it a simple matter, I will never understand.
Humans are fruit ripening on a vine - despite politicians everywhere wanting to make them all synthetic objects only to be used, exploited, used up, and cast away.

| The story, the composition, the light, the dark... |
Politicians, just like the Jaguar Car Company and all commercial-industrial branded perfume manufacturers - fail to understand and certainly not accept, that once a human being's spirit is raised to the right formulation and composition...
...they become translucent and powerful and very very deadly.
Some are even red like Ferrari cars.
This is just Nature except not many people throughout the whole of human history have ever understood it.
Most people just see life and then old age and death.
Humans should be a musical composition.
Sometimes sure, they are a player extemporizing, improvising in a certain situation or context - but even so, as a musical score they can be played again and again.
The good songs you keep.
Most people say they don't really know who they are, or what they are doing here - what their ultimate purpose in life is, or even if there actually is one in the numinous sense of things.
But you've just been told and your life will never be the same again.
Sure you just want to see the Romulan Bird-of-Prey at fifty thousand feet above your head with a clear audible message: 'yes, we're here and we'll come and get you when you're ready.'
'...And the Wise Men returned to their country by a different route' because they knew Herod was not planning good things for them or for the kid.
Don't imagine your governments (aka all the 'Herods') are going to appreciate you learning stuff that actually counts.
