When I went outside on my weekly foraging run to CVS, I didn't have my head sock on quite snugly enough, the hawk got in on my glasses, face, and unnaturally elongated forehead, and it felt like somebody had driven a frozen spike through my sinuses and into my brain pan. That "polar vortex" is no joke, gonna be some casualties from this, and I don't expect it to be any better in the office today.CNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-12876407582057200652014-01-06T22:37:24.007-06:002014-01-06T22:37:24.007-06:00Off topic, save maybe I should get a Darwin Award,...Off topic, save maybe I should get a Darwin Award, but I just went outside, barefoot, t-shirt and jeans.

I thought about it at the time in the context of a god that was omniscient. I was never able to make sense of it. My peers thought I was a little slow at the time because I was so focused internally. I knew I couldn't talk to them about that sort of thing at the time. I wish I had known about Liebniz back then. The problems never went away. It's a tension I've learned to tolerate. <br /><br />There is progress in philosophy even though it seems like one is going in circles. I don't know how many times I threw an idea away just to pick it back up later.Vic78noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-84304637478773828702014-01-06T16:47:22.060-06:002014-01-06T16:47:22.060-06:00I think high emotional intelligence is one of my m...I think high emotional intelligence is one of my most valuable skills. I train salespeople. It's true that the implementation of this, and any other power skill, is amoral. Frankly, I find my ability to manipulate others emotionally frightening. I like to do a la Penn & Teller, complete the trick while telling the audience how it's done. Great skill to develop, don't want it in the wrong hands. Since nobody gets to decide who is and isn't worthy of this skill, everyone should work very hard to develop it.DDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-9318898671647342752014-01-06T10:35:16.990-06:002014-01-06T10:35:16.990-06:00Umm..., what means "fractal duality"?Umm..., what means "fractal duality"?CNuhttp://subrealism.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11539837.post-77722431264710950242014-01-06T10:26:05.247-06:002014-01-06T10:26:05.247-06:00All overt or covert activity serves the immediate ...<i> All overt or covert activity serves the immediate function of impelling the organism toward equilibrium</i><br />This fractal duality permeates all facets of this universe.
