Slow changes

I have been thinking about a career change, not immediately, but over a period starting soon, I would like to learn and do something else. I’m a computer technician at the moment, but that is just what I do, it is not what I am. I face an uphill battle to continue to do what Continue reading

Keep people as pets?

People are not property, or are they? A person cannot own another person, but they can control another person through processes of coercion or manipulation. In every situation, your choice to participate is based on a negotiation in the form of an offer that meets your wish, a manipulation that meets some need, or in Continue reading

Off culture

People go hill walking to achieve something very distinctive. The goal is to step out of culture space and discover what defines us in nature, where we are a part of, and in tune with, the earth and the sky, and all the animals.

Was this always a tactic?

Ok, so I’m not saying I believe this is going on, but I do wonder, and I do like to speculate. The case is a prominent musical icon who is enjoying a rather purple patch in her career right now. One where it might be almost impossible to avoid her in media. I remember this Continue reading

Let’s play conspiracy theorist…

I don’t buy this stuff 100%, but like you I suspect there must be some truth in it or it wouldn’t convince so many people to act and to also suspect. In this piece I wish to speculate, I suppose that’s not really doing anything different than I do for the rest of my writing, Continue reading

Wrongly aimed sympathy

A farming lad or lass, she grows up in the countryside surrounded by nature, the job is hers for life if she wants it and is willing to work hard, the house to live in is free. Her parents will build a bungalow on the land somewhere, no planning permission required just building regs, and Continue reading
