The Doors of Perception

If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite.

Experience, Meaning, Perception, Truth

Will the meek inherit the earth?

For some years I have assumed that far from inheriting the earth, the meek will be trampled underfoot.  I am beginning to wonder whether I am mistaken.

Meekness, Peace, Perception

“Objective truth” is an illusion.

Unqualified objective truth can not exist.  Heavily qualified objective truth probably does.

Truth, Uncertainty

Art as a lens on “reality”.

You may be forgiven for mistaking the image above for photo montage. But it is not: it is the London Mustaba project.

Art, Reality

Art as metaphysics

I have sometimes wondered whether art has any importance, and if so, what? 

Art

Dvorak – Stabat Mater

For many years I had worked on the assumption that anything written east of Berlin was cacophonous and horrible. I have been proved wrong by Dvorak.

Meditation, Music

London as a foreign city.

Portobello Road in London W11 is a most curious mix of home and abroad. 

Art, Change, London, Routine

The Stockmarket as a Complex Adaptive System

I recommend a paper entitled “The Stockmarket as a Complex Adaptive System” by Credit Suisse Director Michael J. Mauboussin.

Algorithm, Emergence

Happiness and Genetic Bingo

We can expect limited success in our endeavours to change but some change is better than none. We may be able to tip the balance in our favour.

Change, Future, Physiology

Was the Noble Savage a Happy Bunny?

It is pleasant to imagine that there was a day in the distant past where people did not live in Grenfell Tower and didn’t have to look at Trump’s haircut in the media.

Violence, War
