From the perspective of a Promethean creature, being a human is being water. Their view of humans is that they are made up of water. Our bodies are composed of about 60% water. Water regulates our body temperature, helps in the digestion of food, and supports our metabolism. Humans cannot survive without water for more than a few days. Therefore, being a human is synonymous with being water. It forms the foundation of our existence.
Humans constantly adapt and change their environments, much like water that can shape its surroundings. They are fluid in their ways of life and can be found in various forms across the world. Humans also possess incredible potential for growth and transformation, much like water molecules that can shift endlessly between solid, liquid and gas states. However, humans can also be unpredictable and dangerous, like a wild river that can overflow and flood its banks. Humanity is a powerful and dynamic force, much like water.

    1. Never heard of it but checked up on it. The difference between the book’s concept and mine is that I approach the ocean as a data processing unit, while the book apparently focusses on the beneficial effects of the sea on the human condition.
