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 theRead More

Jiddu Krishnamurti – the pathless land.

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 notRead More

Big media and marketing manipulation of minds

This follows up on my post on manipulation. In case some don’t know, an infographic is not meant to provide hard evidence. It shows the flow – the process. Who said that that below is right? No one!      

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.Read More

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 forRead More

The big uproar: where’s your popcorn?

Where is fact in relation to position?

Again this exploration is motivated by what I see on social media platforms. I often read or hear, “The fact is… (blah blah)..”. But what does that mean? What does fact mean? What do people mean when they refer to ‘fact‘? Of course I’ve not been able to directly quizRead More

Two great minds meet

Penrose and Peterson met for an amazing exploration of the human mind in relation to physics. Obviously, most people will bawl, “I’m not a physicist nor a psychologist! It’s too airy fairy! I’ve got dogs to feed. Sorry.” Did I say that everybody must take 1 hr and 40 minRead More

Intellectualisation – a psychological defence mechanism

Some say the ‘human mind’ is a wonderful thing. I’m not so sure about that. Lots of wonderful things have not so wonderful things about them. Those who look only at the brighter side of things will be more certain than me. I look at both sides and I considerRead More

Arrogant again

Oh well, here we go again. Another social media conversation ending with me being called arrogant. The outline is below. So it made me wonder again what is the definition of ‘arrogant’ – and by extension condescending. There’s a wide open information superhighway where anyone can find the dictionary meaning.Read More
