Reasons To Be Cheerful (1, 2, 3)



I know we're in the cross hairs of a medieval-pandemic with bodies piled so high the putrefaction is awkward to avoid, but there are plenny-of-things that are rewarding and make me and many others happy.

The first, is that my long-held dream since Beijing, of municipal services, transport-electrification of inner cities is happening in my home city of Southampton. You have no idea how happy it makes of me to see an ever expanding cross-section of demographics, adopt the two wheel electric scooter instead of the rotten and decaying stench of 5+ passenger vehicles occupying valuable road real-estate while belching fossils *winky*

Some days when I'm zipping about town on my ridiculously small electric bike, weaving in and out of the scooters, or just just plain hanging on to their slip-stream, I feel like those memories of life in Beijing with electric-bike stories have enabled some kind of manifestation of dream-wishes-come-true, into real life.

I feel blessed, lucky and happy. It really is a dream come true.

Phillip Goff - Non-Compositional Pan-Psychism




Pan-Psychism is the hottest gig in town. I've watched this twice but will need to watch it many times more to pick up the philosophical jargon. It's an extremely interesting subject that ties into quantum physics, the holographic universe and the slow grinding reformation of Cartesian, Newtonian and Einsteinian limits of physics.

What is mind and is mind the best tool to describe it? I'm not sure.
