Mind – the final frontier

It is a simple question but not an easy one to answer. What is mind? Think about it – you’re using your mind to read this. Some would argue that they’re using their brain. Okay – I dare you to switch off the mind. Some argue that it is the brain that thinks. To avoid ...

On the path to re-programming

When you are deprogrammed you can open your mind to new experiences and enjoy far more of what life has to offer. This post is inspired by a single response from one of my associates who has been sacked, who shall remain nameless and unidentifiable. No  – the individual was not sacked for one silly ...

Dishonesty under the microscope

Apparently – everybody knows that dishonesty is lying, right? Okay – so if you don’t want to dig deeper or you have Netflix calling out to you, or your dog is whining for a bath, move on swiftly! Dishonesty is a complex concept that can manifest in various forms. Trust depends on honesty. Business relationships ...

Jiddu Krishnamurti – the pathless land.

[ez-toc]I often go back and view materials (text and video) on Jiddu JK (JK). See my other post from 2020 – JK the reluctant messiah where unfortunately YouTube has pulled most of the videos. This post is something of a review and update. Just to be clear, I do not see JK as my spiritual ...

Leadership and management

Apparently – everybody believes they know all about leadership and management. This morning I encountered some fool on a forum going, “How strange. What does “power” and “authority” have to do with effective leadership and management? If you think that is how you get a team to deliver the goods when the individuals in it ...

FRIENDAHOLIC

Right – today I am declaring that I am ahead of my time! Those who would bawl “Arrogant!!” are told to STFU. Why? Because yet again I see the world catching up with me! As some will know, if they’ve not been sleeping under a rock for some years, ‘friends’ and ‘friendships’ have been one ...

Given the chop!

Well, in solidarity with everybody who is struggling with energy and food bills, I decided to give English Heritage the chop – thus saving £66/yr. Some will not understand. I should attempt some mind reading, of those who would judge me. I’ll call for help! Here comes ‘help’. Stupid: Oh come off it! You can ...

Ethical sluttery aka Polyamory

I knew nothing of this until today. I’m not like ‘OMG’, because nothing much surprises me these days about human nature. The link to the full story will only be live for about 24 hours, so tough if you’re late. The excerpt from The Times is below (full credits to them). Those who need to ...

Present bias

If you’re looking for a tutorial depart now and save yourself time and bother. Instead head to Pure bias at Wikepedia and you’ll get your tutorial there. But if you stay on to read this post, you are warned as always that you’ll be putting up with my own thoughts about the concept (and the ...

The Belmarsh Tribunal

No – it is not a Tribunal at HMP Belmarsh, in the UK. It is about what’s going on against one person at HMP Belmarsh. The Tribunal is at Washington DC.  DC? Democratic Capital – and you ought to focus on the meaning of ‘democratic’ and ‘democracy’. Now would be a good time to discover ...

Suspend mode

“What now?“- you may wonder. “What’s he on about this time?” – I’m no mind reader but I may have heard you think it. Well – it is been playing on my mind – in the back of my consciousness – that the humans have a ‘suspend mode‘. Oh yes – I’ve been observing for ...

What is love?

At this post Word are cheap in October 2021, I was meant to explore ‘What is love?‘ Of course, I got distracted by so many things along the way. But tonight the question suddenly hit me, when I accidentally came across a discussion on YouTube. Well, I’ll leave that video for lower down this post. ...

Sackings – to make each second count

As some may not know, everybody has roughly (on average) 27,375 days here on earth.   An average person of age 50 will have 9,125 days left to live. If 65 then they have 3,650 days left to live. My time is running out! I want to spend my time doing what I find meaningful. Idiots ...

In five words

Apparently – people are now so busy that they are unable to view videos I send them via YouTube links. I recently sent the following video interview to several following on the post ‘Why I am proud to be a conspiracy theorist‘. Whoops – that’s approximately 2 hours long  – TERRIBLE for those who have ...

The arrogance of mathematics and Chaos Theory

Ooops! How can Mathematics and Chaos Theory (M&CT) be arrogant – at all? Hmmm.. first one has to think about what ‘arrogance‘ means. Off you pop to the dictionary meaning. Yikes! It means, “an attitude of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions.” Mathematics and Chaos Theory can do all that, except make ...

Time may be running out

The result of MRI scan has shown something that ‘may’ be a cancer. That’s brought me closer to my mortality. And – I nauseatingly re-iterate that ‘time is our most precious asset’. Hence, I have and will continue until the very end, to deal short shrift to idiots who intend to waste seconds or hours ...

Musk threatens to go thermonuclear!

Wow! I’m just loving Musk for what he is doing with Twitter. It is world changing! See what the WSJ says (link may not survive forever). Of course not everybody will understand or appreciate. My bias has always been for freedom of expression. I nor Musk never said unrestricted free speech! FFS! So what happened? ...

Your mind has been hacked and you couldn’t care less!

Yes – and you (meaning most people) are unaware that their minds have been hacked. As always – I start with describing what I mean by certain keywords. Hacked and hacking The concept is of course borrowed from the world of computing, where devious infiltrations of computerised systems cause chaos. These are usually ‘viruses’ of ...

The Encyclopaedia of Stupidity

As I continue my sojourn through life, I discover so much that I did not know or appreciate. There are not enough hours in my day. I’ve cut back on sleep as much as I can. It would be funny if it wasn’t so serious, that human stupidity accounts for so many serious disasters, yet ...
