Onlinedatingjournal This gal would get a medal as big as a soup-plate, if there was any fairness left in in this world. All I can do is link to her site, and encourage others to read her story. Her writing is not so good, she could have probably made money out of her story by [ READ MORE ]

Something Too Horrible for Words

There is always something we dread more than anything else, something so horrible we don’t have the words to express it – but it is always in the back of our minds, and determines much of our behavior. There are two ways of dealing with this problem, or any other problem: recognize it or deny it. Any [ READ MORE ]

The Courtesan

This is a straight lift from Lewis Mumford’s book The Condition of Man, beginning on page 210. This book has been an education for me. — The transformation of woman from a working partner into a sexual free-lance and from a distantly worshipped ideal into a more tangible divinity, disrobed and ready for play, came [ READ MORE ]

What Computers Mean to People

No one has given much thought to this question – because no one thought to ask the question. But reading Sherry Turkle’s book Alone Together has made me think about it. Originally, computers were just fancy calculators that cranked out numbers and not much else. But people wanted more – they wanted animated scenes that [ READ MORE ]

Cell Phones are Better than Sex

I hope this is just temporary, but this was one thing that happened when the cell phone population exploded in Costa Rica. The adolescents were hardest hit; they became compulsive texters (the girls especially) with their thumbs moving at lightening speed. They were living in a new world they could not resist – their sex life [ 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 ]

The Perfect Ones

I was raised religious; we adored (even worshiped) preachers. My saintly mother made it clear that her body was eager to serve his ministers – and to make them even better. Our religiosity was thick with eroticism. I am now reading Harold Bloom, someone I never heard of before (I was that ignorant). And this morning I was [ READ MORE ]

The Demise of Guys

TED This is a fast-paced talk, full of facts – all of which I could relate to. However, he has a poor grasp of history: the preference of men for other men (the non-sexual kind) goes all the way back to Abraham Lincoln and his time. He doesn’t speak about similar woman-to-woman relationships, but I [ READ MORE ]

Hatred

I keep being amazed by our inability to notice the obvious – and insist they don’t exist, even though they mean the end of us. Hatred is one of those: it is eating us alive – but we are ignoring our own death agonies, and insist they are only minor symptoms. I started another posting: Ignorance [ READ MORE ]

Technology Changes What We Are

I did not say “Technology changes who we are?” but “Technology changes what we are.” It does this in two ways: externally and internally. The external part is obvious: it changes our external world – look around you the next time you are stalled in a traffic jam to see how the automobile has changed [ READ MORE ]
