Zodiac

….. and then there were two ………

Since Valentine's Day, I'm no longer single. The unexpected has happened. I think, feel and believe that I have found my (soul) mate. Before meeting each other, we have been talking for very many hours. The 3-dimensional check - see my 2015 blog The 7 Hurdles - has evidenced what I feel. Her Chinese -Western zodiac and mine are very compatible: "A Dog is a wonderful...

Unexpectedness vs human need for Control

Unexpectedness vs human need for Control

Sometimes, something unexpected happens in your life that shakes your feeling of being and/or having (self) Control. Such changes can either be negative or positive. I suppose that we refer to surprises in case of positive changes. Negative changes have several nicknames (eg, shock). In my view, Change is the default in Life, Nature & the Universe, and its...

Our Base-10 or decimal system "was invented between the...

Free will: no one can predict what you’ll do. Seriously?

People who know me well will claim that they can predict my choices. I think, feel and believe their view is valid. Nevertheless, neuroscientist Stanislas Dehaene claims that ‘Free will is real.

Outsmarting

I have a friend who is clever, smart, and a professional. Nevertheless, I fear for his safety and so does his family. For some months, I have been urging him to relocate and find safer grounds. He agrees there is a risk. He does not act on it. I haven't asked him why. I should do because everything follows Why. I've used many arguments for my plea. He counters these...
