Hate All, Kill All

For me, the pieces of the puzzle are falling into place; the puzzle being an understanding of how the world works. The picture they are forming may not make much sense to anyone else; and may even seem insane. One major piece of the puzzle is Hatred, which is sometimes so strong in my life [ READ MORE ]

Categories of Mental Illness

I said some good things about Snakes in Suits, but I now want to say some bad things about it. The main writer, Paul Babiak, does a poor job of covering the subject – which is probably covered better in the book Without Conscience: The Disturbing World of the Psychopaths Among Us by the second writer, [ READ MORE ]

Something is Missing in Our Lives

American Institute for Cancer Research This my second posting today about obesity. As usual, I have my own ideas on the subject. I am convinced that people feel there is something important missing in their lives – but they have no idea what it is. Therefore, they eat – like everyone else. They have two [ READ MORE ]

Loss of Virtue

The loss of virtue is the worst loss we can suffer. I believe it is one of the causes of obesity. Scientists will scoff at this connection, but this is one area where science is severely deficient – it will not make values important, when they clearly are. We are plagued with many mysterious illnesses (mental and physical). [ READ MORE ]

The Problem of Being

The biggest challenge any person has is to be - to be themselves. I first noticed this when my ex was going crazy – a very difficult time for both of us. She was eventually diagnosed with Schizophrenia, a diagnosis that did not impress me, since that only meant she was crazy – which anyone could see easily enough. [ READ MORE ]

Pain

It is possible, I believe, to be in deep pain and not feel it. I also believe this a common condition, which has a profound impact on our emotional and physical health. We have discovered numerous ways to anesthetize ourselves individually and socially, since the elimination of pain has been one of our top priorities. We [ READ MORE ]

Modernism in Vienna

Gustav Klimt was part of Modernist Art movement in Vienna at the beginning of the twentieth century. I cannot pose as a art expert here, I got this from the book The  Age of Influence. During this period, artists mingled freely with the staff from the medical schools, and frequently witnessed autopsies – thus the skull [ READ MORE ]

Heart Disease is a Woman’s Problem

TED - Noel Bairey Merz: The single biggest health threat women face More women than men now die of heart disease – about four times as many. More research over a longer period has gone into men’s heart disease, and the results have made a difference. Funding is now going into women’s heart disease – but [ READ MORE ]

Negative Existence

I continue to struggle to understand what is going on – an obsession most people find strange. For them, what is going on is what is going on, simple as that – and trying to make anything more of it is crazy. I don’t believe them for a minute. Anyone can see they are coming [ READ MORE ]

Being is Not a Thing

We have become used to thinking in terms of the market – where every thing can be traded. I remember going to a job fair in Silicon Valley – and marveling why no one else was marveling. There were thousands of highly-paid professionals streaming in from their expensive cars in the huge parking lots – [ READ MORE ]
