Word-cages… The means of keeping you powerless

I woke up at 3 am today. Shall I get up? I asked myself. Yes…. said something…

And then I asked, what part of me that wants me to get up.

My body, my intellect,

My psychology…

What is Psychology? Feeling science… right?

I want to be proud of myself. Continue reading “Word-cages… The means of keeping you powerless”

You don’t like me? Want only positive guidance?

I am reading many books, many articles.

They all say that my life could be better, would be better if I just looked at the bright side of things.

But that… looking at only the bright side of things, actually leads to a boring, inauthentic life.

What makes good good is the contrast… No bad? Not looking at it? there suddenly isn’t good either… only boring, dull, dead. And you can’t sleep… Continue reading “You don’t like me? Want only positive guidance?”

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

When it comes to making buying decisions, what do I pay attention to?

I pay attention to how many different problems a product is trying to solve… claims to solve…

Because they are trying too hard.

Now, most things, most problems, admittedly, cannot be solved with one skill, one tool, one push of effort. You need a set of tools, a set of skills, and efforts invested in the right amount and in the right order.

But… tell me, can you tell a first grader to fix the leaky toilet, or to cook a three course meal?

You wouldn’t dare… Continue reading “If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

By nature, men are nearly alike ~ Confucius

By nature, men are nearly alike; by practice/culture, they get to be wide apart. ~ Confucius

or by another great Chinese philosopher, Mengzi:

…if the people ‘are full of food, have warm clothes, and live in comfort but are without instruction, then they come close to being animals‘

Who, what is responsible for your health or the lack of it?

A few comments and observations that have arisen from my offer to muscletest your health measurements for free.

If you think that past sins can be erased: you are probably mistaken about that.

Drink
Sex

All self-medications are harmful, because they cement the notion that how it is is wrong. Continue reading “Til you yank the roots of your misery, you can’t get better”

The key to the evolution of the human species discovered…
Can evolution be triggered? Caused? Midwifed?

In a lot of ways this has been a question, I think, for a long time. People who were ahead of their time asked this question, in one way or another.

So far there haven’t been any successful attempts at causing mass evolution. Maybe an individual, but not a group, or a species.

There are fairy tales of some incidents, but muscletest shows that they are just that: fairy tales.

One of them is the story of the Hundredth Monkey. Continue reading “The key to the evolution of the human species discovered…”
