All Life Is No More Than A

We Believe We're Seeing The World Just Fine Until It's Called To Our Attention That We're Not.

Knowing Yourself Now Requires The Understanding That The Conscious You Occupies Only A Small Room In The Mansion Of The Brain, And That It Has Little Control Over The Reality Constructed For You.

My Lab And Academic Work Fill My Day From About 9 Am To 7 P.m. Then I Zoom Out The Lens To Work On My Other Writing.

If You Cannot Always Elicit A Straight Answer From The Unconscious Brain, How Can You Access Its Knowledge? Sometimes The Trick Is Merely To Probe What Your Gut Is Telling You. So The Next Time A Friend Laments That She Cannot Decide Between Two Options, Tell Her The Easiest Way To Solve Her Problem: Flip A Coin. She Should Specify Which Option Belongs To Heads And Which To Tails, And Then Let The Coin Fly. The Important Part Is To Assess Her Gut Feeling After The Coin Lands. If She Feels A Subtle Sense Of Relief At Being "told" What To Do By The Coin, That's The Right Choice For Her.

All Life Is No More Than A Match Struck In The Dark And Blown Out Again.
