Many a superstition, belief system, worldview, and dogma has taken root from dreamlike stages of a brain – an influential brain – somebody convinced strongly enough of the illusion and able to convince others of its truth by pure assertion. I can conjecture two natural causes for this phenomenon: one, the cerebral-cortex-involved entanglement that happensContinue reading “Otherbrainly.”

Zeitgeist – The Spirit of the Times
I have always felt its vector. Have had a subtle sensation of its singular yet collective tug. I rely on it for my daily confidence in society (law makers, bureaucrats, movie makers, newspaper editors, writers, judges, politicians, artists, directors, editors, producers, bloggers, scientists, teachers) but fear for it too! I recognize how fragile it is.Continue reading “Zeitgeist – The Spirit of the Times”
Can’t be bothered…
My aversion of theistic or atheistic labels affixed to myself is based on a desire to go through life’s situations using logic/reason as opposed to faith-based leaps as much as possible (the ‘as-much-as-possible’ could be considered a cop-out because I don’t claim to possibly have enough data/information to make every real-life impromptu decision logically.) UnlikeContinue reading “Can’t be bothered…”

Originally recorded 2019-09-10 14:07:10 PM Memory is coming up again and again in my recent thoughts as I journey towards coloring more and more areas of my ‘color-the-shapes’ existence. We humans are our memory. If it wasn’t for the accumulated data and interplay of these data-points built up over a lifetime, we would be helplessContinue reading “Memories..”
I am…
”I’ am not a noun, I am a verb! The layers that make me are in flux, like smoke billowing into and out of existence. These layers give the perception of me – to myself and to others – when I register into existence. I’m kind, I’m vicious; I’m intelligent, I’m dense; I’m quick-witted, I’mContinue reading “I am…”
The Bleerbet…
Science, pseudoscience and irrationality compete for a chunk of our worldview at a memetic level. There is a sociological Darwinian utility for irrationality because its inherent quirkiness allows for profligate variations of genetic options. If behavior was binary, based on true logic, then there is a limited outcome of inter- and intraspecies dynamics. The downer,Continue reading “The Bleerbet…”
