#haiku joy! joy! joy! rapture! / wafting fragrance of incense: / soft skin enfolding
#hailu walls without frames are / reminders of what was home / ghosting grey outlines
#haiku desire corruption / the hot glistening welcome / taboo quarantined
Starvation has definite and defined emotional correlates

Judgement is tenuous and fragile
The most interesting things happen behind your eyes - hack your brain & you won't need anything else
#haiku Combust ATP / BURN BURN BURN! Mighty! Mighty! / Mitochondria
To pareidolia and fibonacci
#haiku Men are principles / women are particulars / wabi and sabi
#haiku Energy stocks flows / attention economy / fictional constraints
#haiku The arrow of time / points both ways. Now and Then Here. / Quantum consciousness.
If consciousness is a cognitive illusion it should be possible to run several streams simultaneously like virtual machines. And so will begin the post-attention economy

My recent realisation that an unjust world is the best of all possible worlds lead further to the realisation that there can be no Ultimate Reckoning, no Judgement Day
I seem inadvertently to be compiling a list of the overrated: being right is overrated...

Today was rather unexceptional at work & I was grateful considering I got no sleep last night
There's so little risk in being honest with strangers we should perhaps have a daily "sit & talk to a stranger"...

Erudition in overrated
Musing on the discipline of pleasure and the pleasure of discipline...
What is the colour of magic? The smell of ecstacy? The taste of anguish? The feel of conviction? The sound of mystery?

Machines take consistency to absurd lengths
Working on autobiographical memory
Searching for the story after the fairy tale ending

It's lack of reflection that leads people to believe in hard/clear/determined margins. Edges tend to be fuzzy however sharp they feel - sense and perception are 2 very different things...
Science verifies or falsifies hypotheses but how do scientists generate hypotheses? Clinical medical diagnostics is essentially hypotheses generation and yet when I ask doctors how they arrive at diagnoses they very often tell me that they take a history or examine the patient. The truth is that histories and examinations do not generate diagnoses....

Anti-emetics

A little note on Cyclizine and Metoclopramide

It is surprising and sometimes annoying when people state categorically and definitively that cyclizine and metoclopramide antagonise each other. Cyclizine acts centrally on H1, M1, M2 and M3 receptors and Metoclopramide acts both centrally and peripherally on D2 and M1 receptors. Theoretically, there may be competitive inhibition of the one or other at M1 receptors without clinical effect.

These antiemetics do not "block each other" or "cancel each other out".
Act in haste repent at leisure - Why is the repenting always so EXPENSIVE!
protein... fibre... resveratrol....

In celebration of commitment devices & mental accounts - Yay! Tversky! ;-)

I do not know the shape of my soul - & I think that I should.
Prayers complete; why do I pray? It's self management in the same way as meditation....
Can you imagine: doctors used to touch paitents!? They called it an examination!
Can you imagine: operations were done under inebriation!?
learnt tonite that manual evacuation of a rectum is verboten without an anaesthetic (?GA) = abuse....
