Yes Doc, once again I agree with your viewpoint. I wasn't being serious in my comment. My view is that another lifeform from another planet is unlikely to have a DNA structure, but something different. I mean what are the chances of it being the same? Or even if it was the same, it would somehow...

What is it about being idle that leads to mischief?

I agree that it is possible to over-think sometimes. For me, that is under conditions where it can be detrimental. Yet conscious change, using a Kaizen philosophy, is a way of life for me. Kaizen suggests tiny little changes. Why tiny? Because it reduces fear. When you are going for a big...

Doc, I believe you are referring to "Survivorship Bias." Those who failed never made it to tell their story. I agree that learning is not always based on reasoning. In fact, I would argue that most learning is subliminal, where life experience subtly rewires our mind. It is like water eroding...

Perhaps we are the aliens, who's DNA came in from a stray asteroid. It is remarkable how much our DNA is similar to animals who look nothing like us.

With your choice of words, it would imply there will be no outcome from the negotiations. :unsure::oops:

Nice work Bee. Those are significant things you have changed and been through. Many Olympians suffer depression after achieving their gold medal. They have spent their lives struggling towards their goal, leaving themselves directionless once achieved. Yet we can all be relentless in our...

Reflections of oneself? I've definitely lost muscle mass on my diet but my fingers are the same length.

“To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.” — Oscar Wilde

Life is a cycle of repetitions. Get up, make bed, shower, dress, breakfast and so on. This mundane routine repeats endlessly, interposed with the non-mundane. Should we spend more of our time reflecting, pondering on life's issues, our circumstances and self-insight? Do you do this? I journal...

Maybe the fear of change is some kind of social homeostasis, where everyone wants to maintain the status quo. In our primitive past, change could be a risk to life, your rank within your group or the unknown. So, ergo, change = risk.

We have local law, and distributed law. Local law is how you decide to operate within your immediate environment. We can create our own self-imposed dystopia based on our limiting beliefs (or religious doctrine). See Doc's post about this here...

Are there any Outlook add ins with that functionality? Might be worth taking a peek. E.g. https://www.sperrysoftware.com/Email-Tools/shop/ https://support.office.com/en-gb/article/get-an-office-add-in-for-outlook-1ee261f9-49bf-4ba6-b3e2-2ba7bcab64c8

Bee, if you didn't bring a different perspective then why would they put you in the high powered job that you have? You have to add something into the mix, be it a new perspective, better judgement or a view that is not bound by the patriarchy. ;) At the same time, we all inhabit echo chambers...

That is a really sweet story there Doc. I think being pro-active and putting yourself out there is key. That is where preparation meets luck.

We are prisoners of our minds, interpreting what is possible or impossible based on our beliefs. It reminds me of the expanding universe. It is expanding into "something". Our beliefs are the expanding universe, while the "something" is everything, what is possible given no limiting beliefs.

On what grounds do you say that?

Do you think you think like most people think, or do you think you think like an outlier?

Blimey Doc, you trumped me there! :eek:

Nice insight there Doc and appreciate the transparency. It helps me and others realise that the human condition is a common one. And I know only too well the difficulties of being a carer of parents. I went to a ballroom dancing club while at Uni. Can do the Rhumba, Waltz, Tango, Cha Cha Cha...
