6.2 this morning and it's finally Sunday in the land of perpetual isolation. Enjoy the day :)

Two of my favourite authors, their collaboration was superbly funny and I was happy with the tv adaptation of the book. 5.9 this morning and I thought it was Sunday, so now I shall await the tesco man instead :)

That is down to me ;) I can't expect people in a neurotypical environment to comply with my autistic needs in conversations. It's not an issue on autistic forums as we generally are 'wired' in a similar fashion. Certain concepts, even written, can pass me by mentally or be interpreted...

That is not a desirable place to be in, have you tried imagery rehearsal therapy? If you're interested here's a link to get you started https://www.psychologytools.com/professional/techniques/imagery/ there are specific nightmare exposure guides here...

I would accept that science and the concept of a creative principle are a possibility. I dislike religion as defined by holy books, for more reasons than I care to list. Darwin, I believe, was agnostic later in his life and denied being an atheist. I had read somewhere that he thought his...

Faith: a strong belief in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual conviction rather than proof. Faith begins where reason ends. Credulity: a tendency to be too ready to believe that something is real or true. Can be defined in a belief without proof where such proof is easily within...

Not really, I was thinking about the war in the heavens in relation to the Daoist concept of 'becoming' and non-permanence. That went off at a tangent in my head of good and evil needing to exist as proof of the existence of the other. So the drawing was just a reference of never-ending conflict...

Very deliberate Alf, it's how I feel in these covid times that the dark is winning ;)

Thank you, it is the opening verse of the Dao De Jing which is the philosophical thoughts of Lao Tzu (600-400BC). It is probably one of the most recognised verses as it can be adapted to many situations. It forms the genesis of the Five Element universe and the nature of all things. I was...

Spoken like a true Daoist "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao. The name that can be named is not the eternal name. The nameless is the beginning of heaven and earth. The named is the mother of ten thousand things." ~ Lao Tzu

6.2 this morning and quite a warm start to the day. Facetiming with my niece later as they go play in the snow. I checked their forecast this morning and I don't think they had as much snow as she claimed, a bit of teenage reinterpretation maybe. She has already said she wants to make a snow...

Neuroscience is a complex subject matter, I took part in the Bristol University research based upon the subject of the video, my part was less math and more psychology but it was a fascinating time. I included this video on the thread purely because it includes a mathematical conclusion on the...

Personally, I'm grateful that you took the time to do that.

There is a very small number of scientists in the world that I can say I am a big, long term, 'fanboy' of. Today I found out that my personal top two had met up and exchanged ideas, I never knew! The result is fascinating (to me) and some here might enjoy this engagement. Enjoy :)

6.1 this morning and all is well in my imaginary kingdom. No idea what today will bring but I'm sure coffee is involved. Enjoy the day :) Would that have been Captain Morgan?

Thanks but no hugging :););)

Cheers for that. I did notice that I got hugs for that post which surprised me, but then they always surprise me ;) I don't really do things that need hugs although I'm beginning to like them a bit. Maybe I hould have posted my reply and hers following the initial bit because it would have...

For a minute there I thought you'd hacked my Google Photo Cloud account :wideyed: Always a favourite and might help in my mad crush on Galadriel :angelic: I completed the circuit in record time being on my ownsome. The aunties were chuffed to see me (I am a handsome devil) and I received...

Have you travelled to artist valley just up the road? The whisky gang friend we lost lived up there, many a fine time sitting around the fire pit drinking and telling stories. As well as being a physicist he was a great author and poet. Of all the losses in my life, his was the hardest. We met...

Today I will be mostly in a hoody and mask. I've been told it's last years 'thugee' but this years 'sweet thang'. I have resprayed the sleigh in camo-grey in the hope the cameras don't see me :oldman::doctor:
