Backgammon is a peculiar game, it has been around for centuries, its ancestries include most of the ancient games, all the way up until the 1920’s, when an unknown “genius” in New York City created what is known today as the “Doubling Cube”. That particular invention…

Lions and sheep
The life of a sheep is easier than a Lion’s.
Sheep are given food freely by their shepherd, and are protected from predators by shelters they did not build. They fatten themselves on the shepherd’s food, thriving into a multitude that outnumbers the lions.

Torniamo a bomba: perché, innanzitutto, il de cuius a un tratto sparisce? Andava tutto bene vi sembrava. Eravate state attente pure a non essere soffocanti, troppo presenti, assillanti. Vi siete pure guardate bene dal non eccedere in quelle “smancerie” che fanno scappare a gambe levate molti uomini…
The waves rolled in softly. A gentle breeze lifted the fronds of nearby palm trees. It felt perfect.
I was reflecting, as I was washing my dishes and staring blankly out the window this evening, on my childhood television-viewing experience. Yeah, it’s weird. Just go here with me for a minute.
It’s always something. Easy to avoid conflict. Active ignoring.
There is a space — before words and concepts, before our intellects take over— where all the magic happens.
I am fascinated at how passion fuels our work. This helps me understand how I’m controlled by my two brains. I can’t help but think of them like Seuse’s Thing 1 & Thing 2 running around messing with my progress.
“This also explains why people talk about passion when it comes to success.” — Zat Rana

The issue of bias in media is certainly an interesting one. In the 19th century, when newspapers had just begun, it was implicit that most publications would have a political orientation. Socialists would read the socialist newspaper, Christians the christian one and so on…
A wonderful response, and I agree with all of it. Something I didn’t fully articulate in my blog was that I see a huge amount of value in neuroscientific knowledge for its own sake. In particular, neuroscience is the explanatory bridge between evolution and behaviour. This is fundamentally important for understanding the human condition. I wish…

My bipolar diagnosis — 2 years later
I’m living my worst fear. There are days I can’t trust my mind, and sometimes I don’t know which days those are. It’s like my logic does not match up.
Really it’s just giving a name to the rage I experienced as a kid, the cutting in high school, and the erratic…

Last year I was challenged by a friend to name a specific constant or inalienable right that the West has achieved and currently practices. Upon thought my response was free speech. This was met with derision. The invective that…

Ancient Betrayal
I've got something to talk about, but I am just a little afraid. An itch where I cannot reach is bothering me. When I try to gently rub it, it leaves me unsatisfied and a little bitter. It dispels the worst for a minute or two, then flares brighter, hotter.
The forgiveness can only ever benefit the ‘forgiver’ as a severe alienator will not care if they are forgiven or not.
Mine too! Independence cuts both ways. Learning when to become a little DEPENDENT is such a fine line. But a powerful breakthrough.
This is such a powerful article. You speak with great authority on this topic. Great job.

Why My Weapons Are Words
I am concerned about the future of this planet Earth. Although there are many people who believe in catastrophic climate change, there are many others who don’t. In our current U.S. government, we have politicians in prominent roles who not only deny the reality of climate change, but who seem to…
More likely then you think!
All things considered, how satisfied are you with your life as a whole these days?
Bonnitta Roy : I think well executed poetry can be an effective entry point for paradoxical reasoning, as per my poem above which is a response to a transhumanist essay on A.I. Or at least I perceive this is the case. I’m never quite sure that I’m “getting it” when it comes to paradoxical reasoning — I’m always wondering if I’m stuck in a dialectic…
“Shatter Proof; Meth versus Gremlin”

The title of this article says it all. Spot on.
I’m going through the same. Your statement that you are reapplying for a job you already have is spot on. I have had a much earned day off today. However I have spent the whole day filling out forms justifying how and when I intend to parent my children. Bit I’m being denied contact that no one is challenging. The world is simply mad sometimes.

Zero and one is circumference and diameter, literally and figuratively. Why everyone is half-the-time stubborn. Half-the-time. Not-so-much.
