Does The Universe Conspire to Fulfill Our Wishes?
An Alternative to the Big Bang
The criminal justice system uses a range of risk assessment tools to identify the level of risk and treatment targets for offenders. Bonta (1996) describes…
When I think back on Kahneman’s 400+ page tome, without fail there’s one idea that comes to mind before any other. I’ll quote the passage here, because it offers a fascinating…
Hi Drake. Thanks for that great article on perfectionism. I am an experiential psychotherapist who helps people heal from childhood wounds and perfectionism is something i love helping people overcome. There are few things more wonderful than the relief associated with being able to accept ourselves with all our flaws and know we are still lovable…
I still feel trapped by my life.
These things I thought I wanted — DO want, most of the time — are the same anchors that…
If I said “this community doesn’t find black skin sexually stimulating,” what would you think?
What if I said “telling that community ‘skin color is arbitrary’ would get you into a fair amount of trouble ”? The form of you comment is essentially the same, yet, as you can see, that community not only looks super racist, but…

The Avoidance
When I was 25, my life was spiraling. I was spinning in response to the intensity of my first quarter at the university, an intensity…

Why do people believe crazy things even when there’s plenty of evidence to the contrary?
Interesting timing, Zat, since I just published “Learn From Your Mistakes, Never Regret Them.” Our posts cover different ground but they do form an adjunct to each other. Nice piece. Good advice. Thanks.
Psychological. What do you think when you see that term? Be honest with yourself, what’s going through your head right now? When you think about the word psychological or the phrase ‘psychological…
The ultimate parent is the president. So when our archetypal father figure engages in bullying, verbal abuse, threats, paranoia, and sexual abuse, the result is traumatic.
“If you can’t clean your room, don’t try to change the world.” This quote is from the amazing Dr. Jordan Peterson, a clinical psychologist and teacher of psychology at University of Toronto.
Vacationing is the best way to find out if you would like to live somewhere. Of all the places I’ve travelled around the world, I discovered the the places I thought I’d like I didn’t like and the the place I thought I’d hate I actually fell madly in love with the people.
The relationship between mind and body has always been a fascination of mine. Something about the interaction of the tangible/intangible is so intriguing; I think because the human mind is still such a mystery. There’s still so much that we can’t explain or understand exactly…
Working in the Pacific for a while now and looking back at that experience I’ve realised that a lot of the organisations I’ve worked for don’t have mechanisms in place in which to ensure cognitive biases don’t pollute the decision…
The tires of the bus screech loudly as it rolls to a stop. I awake from my deep slumber, rubbing my eyes… I blink, staring through the window, but the streetlights only reflects back a dimly lit park in the dark night.I tilted my head up to view the digital clock above the passageway “00:10” it…
Interesting how once again, perception is key. The unstable relationships all carry in common the belief that the alternative is better. If it’s in your mind, then it’s reality.
I feel an urge to get clear about this word: stupid. It is overused as invective, and uninteresting in that way.
But it needs to have a meaning. Right now I see it as stuck in a small room. Stuck might sound as if you could get out; perhaps you cannot. Perhaps your stupid…
“Why seventeen?”
“Numbers are powerful and symbolic. It adds up to 8, which is an enclosure. It protects”.
“Protect from what?”

Am not sure will ever understand “the normal part” but I am happy you did the deed, so to speak, and treated yourself because, it has been far too long. I an on my phone at the moment, so have a very small space to see your minerals but they are quite striking, I love deep rustic, oranges and reds and the white has quite the shimmer, much like your…
Addicts making rational economic decisions
Sworn in on 2 June 1965, and with one month to start the historic civil rights law enforcement agency from scratch, Roosevelt excused himself for a week of yachting. Two months later, “when Congress was considering the next fiscal year’s budget for the EEOC…

So, if everyone has a second birth into ego, doesn’t that make it real? As real as the first birth? I’ve always been confused about the idea of ego or the reality all around us being “illusions.” Maybe I can understand the concept of “consensus reality,” but then when did we, did I, consent? If these things are in fact illusions for everyone then the…
