There are not enough electronics and concrete in the world
To separate you from the biosphere.
Nature will eventually reclaim your energy.

#Idea – Ego / 27.11.20
Many people have chosen death
Over admitting that they were wrong.

Nature;
Not a place that you go,
But a thing that you are.

#Idea – Prayer Is Not a Cosmic Order System / 17.05.19
If you believe in a deity
And you pray
Stop asking this deity for personal favours.
Instead,
Start listening
And
Start saying thank you.
You may never hear anything back
But at least you’ll get into the practice
Of being more grateful for things.
#Idea – Ownership / 14.05.19
You don’t own anything.
You are merely the custodian of it
Until you or the thing in question no longer exists.
Everything’s on loan from the universe
Even your body.

#Idea – The Problem with Light Pollution / 24.04.19
One of the negatives of light pollution
Is that it stops you from remembering
That you live in the universe.

#ThoughtExperiment – The ‘Dickens Process’ But Worse / 06.05.19
Disclaimer: this is quite unpleasant if you think through it properly.
Imagine the far future
Imagine yourself long gone.
Imagine the person that you’re with
The person that you love (we assume?).
Imagine them
On their deathbed
Old, fragile, perhaps a little senile
Life ebbing away
Life flashing by.
In their delirious last hours
As they cry out your name
What would you want them to say about you?
How would you want them to remember you?
Resolve to be more like that person from now on.

#Idea – A Short, Incomplete Argument for Bringing Back the ‘Memento Mori’ / 04.04.19
Without regular reminders
On the shortness of life
And, as a result
The imminence of death
You’re liable to undervalue life
Your life, the lives of those you love, and living beings in general.
Never was the phrase ‘taken for granted’ apter than here.
Of course,
When seen through the wider lens
Of sheer cosmic improbability
Life, death, our entire planet.
It’s all of almost no importance
And yet, it is all we have.
It would seem useful
To make a point of remembering this every day,
If you can.
“Death, when it approaches, ought not to take one by surprise. It should be part of the full expectancy of life. Without an ever-present sense of death, life is insipid.” – Muriel Spark
