"The Bible says, 'God is love.' This is all right, but it should have said, with Tolstoy, 'Love is God.' Love of the earth, love of the sky, that is enough. [...] Whatever it is, take it, for God offers it, God offers himself in it, God is your taking it." - R.H. Blyth

The more I learn about Canadian history, the more I discover a backstory that is almost entirely devoid of "complicated legacies" or "men of their time." It took overwhelming feats of narcissism and self-hate to convince ourselves it was anything to be ashamed of.

[Aristo @aristomarinetti]

Carl Jung once said that the strongest passion in humans is not hunger, sex or power, although these are quite strong; the very strongest passion is laziness. The longer I study human beings,the more I am inclined to agree.
Laziness is the strongest passion.

You can’t tell me the notion of an actual “zeitgeist” is just make believe.

Because I was alive when this first hit the radio and an instantaneous spiritual shift in culture could be felt by every single person who listened.

Good news you probably haven't heard:

The Great Barrier Reef's five best years of coral cover in the 40-year record are the five most recent.

After decades of predictions of its imminent demise, the reef stubbornly refuses to die.

modern travel is increasingly flying 10 hours to experience a slightly different version of the same globally optimized lifestyle.

same third wave coffee. same natural wine bar. same brutalist menu. same sourdough. same beige hotel. same tasteful ceramics. same instagram lighting.

what a ridiculous convergence.

“Without a brain” means “without a mind” and “without a mind” means “with Christ’s mind”

When scientists put slime mold over a map of Tokyo, they used food to represent urban areas.

After a day the mold created a network nearly identical to Tokyo's rail network: all this without any brain.
