    Is Brexit a mistake?

    Lol. Where abouts in Ireland are your family from? We are straight across the middle - Dublin, Kilcormac, Galway and Athlone mostly.

    Is Brexit a mistake?

    I believe that Brexit will be the undoing of the U.K. I’m not a fan of Sturgeon at all, but she will gain even more support now that Boris is in power. I’m all for a unified Ireland also. Maybe Republic bias at work? 🤷‍♀️

    Myers-Briggs Type Indicator

    I was INTP on paper and INTJ face to face, when my workplace paid for an assessment with a psychologist many years ago.

    Is Brexit a mistake?

    It’s a case of swings and roundabouts. For example: the U.K. agreed to sign off the so called ‘period tax’, whereby sanitary products are considered a ‘luxury’ item. Viagra is not taxable, as considered a ‘necessity’.

    Is Brexit a mistake?

    I think a large part of the issue is people being ill informed. Now many who voted leave realise that they perhaps didn’t think through the full potential implications. I suppose I’m a little cross because of Trevor the ex-pat (immigrant) in Spain has voted leave. Now he’s worrying about the...

    History, being ‘disrespectful’ and the PC brigade

    I should expand! Some people will say things deliberately to be inflammatory. Is that offensive, or is that them being an arsehat?

    History, being ‘disrespectful’ and the PC brigade

    ‘Offence’ is also a curious one. Sometime people use that as a ‘mask’ when it comes down to making another person feel uncomfortable. My view is - offence is taken and not given.

    History, being ‘disrespectful’ and the PC brigade

    More so photos taken in places associated with mass genocide. Is it disrespectful? The reason we teach history is to not forget - in the hope that we won’t make the same mistakes again. I have heard/read many people saying it’s disrespectful to take pics in such places. Why do you think that...

    Will we engineer our own downfall?

    It can already be argued that we have created ‘new beings’ based on thoughtforms.

    The ‘greys’ - a deeper look into the imagery into how ‘aliens’ may look

    I think it can be seen as a more modernistic form of mythology, or perhaps even not that! Ancient Egypt - Pharaohs were depicted with more conical craniums. Debate is out whether it was due to inbreeding or head binding. Head binding was/is more prevalent in Africa. Modern day perception of...

    The ‘greys’ - a deeper look into the imagery into how ‘aliens’ may look

    Ok. So this may seem a bit off the wall! We often see so called ‘aliens’ represented with little muscle mass, long fingers and large, conical craniums. Why do you think that is? Before I answer the question I have put to you and my reasoning behind it...

    Thinking like an Outlier

    Bee - resistance to change is sadly commonplace. I really dislike the phrase ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’. In reference to the point you have made, I do believe it’s a social construct. People often find a lateral approach to problem solving as a threat. Disorder 😂

    Thinking like an Outlier

    Perhaps there is no ‘box’ at all. The ‘box’ may well be a social construct. A division. The ‘box’ is possibly a visual representation of a collective body of knowledge. Ergo, thinking outside that ‘box’ makes you an outlier?

    Paving the road toward ‘Dystopia’

    That is a question I would ask! What is your perception of a Dystopian society?

    Thinking like an Outlier

    I don’t think some people ultimately see them. What lies behind/beyond/inside/within the ‘box’?
