It is 10:20pm here and I still haven't had my dinner. I am typing away on this forum like a compulsive madman, contemplating what to eat. I was going to go for a takeaway curry but it is too late for that now. Seems like I will end up scrambling for something from the fridge. It's a bit sparse...

Let us say that this person was evil. They already tortured you the previous day. Would you want to be courteous then? Or is it like in the Art of War, keep your friends close, but your enemies closer still?!

I did until age 11, when I saw my dad coming in at 1am with a sack of toys. I think I was the only one left at secondary school who believed! When I sat on Santa's lumpy lap aged three, that was enough to terrify me and put me off close Santa encounters for life!

What if you knew that talking about a particular edgy topic would lead to the instant suicide of the listener? Instead of taking the politically correct course, you said something so offensive that it led to something akin to spontaneous human combustion. Is it not better to tow the line to...

There is evolutionary efficiency in believing what you hear. If someone said don't go down into the woods, there is a nasty man there, the ones who didn't would live, the ones who did...well, they may or may not live, depending on if the source was truthful or not. Net result, believing saves...

I just had an additional thought to add to my earlier post. Given what I have said there, could political correctness lead to your early death?

Just to be clear, I am only throwing the pebble into the water and watching the ripples. :devilish::geek:

How about be married but get Mondays off?

Sorry Bee, I just deleted your post by mistake. My screen showed two of them, so I deleted one and they both went! Bug in software.

Is it prejudice to know what the data says and make estimates about your safety based upon hard facts? Or, is it prejudice to discard those facts because they are just the aggregate, whereas each individual is unique and different? Which would increase your life expectancy?

Would you want to be inclusive and courteous to Hitler? You: "Here, take a seat. Earl Grey?" Hitler: "Just a bag of porky scratchings will do."

<>< #metoo Edit: It appears that the symbols on the first line of my post are not clear on some devices. They are meant to represent a fish!

Maybe both directions are the result of increasing confusion. You ask more questions to remove confusion, I get tied up in knots because I have confusion.

Is it some kind of iterative, fractal imploding question? Where the more you think about it, the more tied up in knots you get?

Yes, if this is a good answer. Discuss.

All sorts of things become possible when the forum gets busy.

It is a rather worn out saying. Does this old wives tale hold any merit, or are we past that now with the more granular understanding of the human body?

You can see how squabbles start between people, hence marriage being out of date!

I just did 10 minutes of meditation, but I always feel really sleepy around 6pm having worked all day. When it comes to doing the meditation, I am out of puff. I am wondering how much good it is doing me, with a dozy bit of meditation. Perhaps I am forging a bad habit, rather than the habit of...

Where's my Like? :D
