“What we can know, and what we can understand, is so influenced by our location in time that it is impossible for us to disentangle that influence and get a clear look at it.”

News from nowhere, A Blink of an Eye: "The average human blinks between 15 and 20 times each minute. Each blink lasts around 300 milliseconds, which means you spend almost one-tenth of your waking hours in darkness."

"It seems that Erving Goffman was not a nice man. He liked to ruffle feathers and watch the fallout. [One] time he started shouting at his colleagues in a crowded restaurant, seemingly with no aim other than to see what would happen. He got kicked out" https://t.co/DjSLjhmG3a

[Geri Seiberling @geriwithetc]

“Woe to him who saw no more sense in his life, no aim, no purpose, and therefore no point in carrying on. He was soon lost. The typical reply with which such a man rejected all encouraging arguments was, “I have nothing to expect from life any more.” What sort of answer can one give to that? What was really needed was a fundamental change in our attitude toward life. We had to learn ourselves and, furthermore, we had to teach the despairing men, that it did not really matter what we expected from life, but RATHER WHAT LIFE EXPECTED FROM US. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist, not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfil the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual.”

~ Viktor Frankl, Man’s Search for Meaning

"When we ask people how they are, we are, in essence, asking them about their mood because moods are how we orientate ourselves in the world. When we’re in a good mood, the world feels full of opportunity..."

Imagine an ass which is extremely hungry. It is exactly equidistant from two bales of hay (in some versions it’s a bale of hay and a pail of water and the ass is equally hungry and thirsty).
