Ponderings, experiences, moods. I didn't mean to take this photo; it was one of. Those, "oops I took a photo of the floor" ones. To not accept something is to want to change it. A view of acceptance is realizing that we have done all that we can towards what we want. But why stop at all you can do? Could you stop much earlier too, and would it still be OK. or even preferable? Have you ever been told to just accept a situation, but being told this left you feeling frustrated? An analogy with drawing: when...

Ponderings, experiences, moods. A rational reconstruction of democratic thinking. How can we use technology to make democracy better? Can we make quicker and better decisions? The choices are those that we would come to make if we all thought long and deeply and did a lot of research; but they'd happen quicker than they do today. Can we make taking part in democracy a good experience? It should be educative, empowering, and fun for participants. Concept: democracy by entrusting thinkers. Should there be ...

Ponderings, experiences, moods. Costumes; a cornerstone of benevolant democracy. I like costumes. They are a cornerstone of democracy. The capacity to express oneself pseudonymous enables free-expression; it is a way to protect free-expression and allow people to speak out against corruption for example. As such, I see it as a foundation for benevolent democracy. So, time to dress up and support benevolent democracy! Feelings towards, and the object of attention. But here's the real punchline: there are ...

Ponderings, experiences, moods. Flaming cocktails… Last night I dreamt that I was in the garden of a british mansion house where people were having tea and croissants. I was there to fight in a mixed martial arts tournament against a fat lady with an axe. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The n-Category Café (technical). Microwavable Culture of Learning.

Ponderings, experiences, moods. Pride and the greasy yummy snack. On the corner of 145th street, by the ACBD line, is a Caribbean food shop that sells, for $1, three of these snacks which I’ve only ever had in Madagascar before - an oily, sour and slightly sweet treat… a nostalgic taste. Today, from the other side of the US, I ponder pride, which has two such distinct meanings! Spending time looking at this beautiful new york skyline this evening. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Ponderings, experiences, moods. Nostalgic symbol and creature of freedom and power from my childhood, found in perpetual watch of the eater on this plate from 1500 Seville.

iislucas: feelings towards, and the object of attention
http://iislucas.blogspot.com/2014/08/feelings-towards-and-object-of-attention.html
Ponderings, experiences, moods. Feelings towards, and the object of attention. One of the less inspiring window displays in Chelsea. But it makes me smile to see it! I've become enamored with a couple of concepts recently. here's the first: "We have feelings towards the object of our attention". The phrasing itself entices one to ask what is the object of my attention that produces this feeling? It's an attention-feeling fixed point! How cool is that? I noticed this while feeling grumpy one day :). Atten...
