Seeing Jack B Yeats took my breath away, the oil on oil, that created a blur, which became a vision the further I moved away from the painting...as did the taking of the Christ by Carriavagio.
Manet, Le Dejeuner sur l'Herbe was stunning, just because of it's sheer size.

why is everybody in a hurry? why can't people slow down a little? why is the music so fast that after some time it hurts the ears? what is so important that we run around trying to look at the bigger picture missing all the small beautiful details? can't we slow down a little?

We make exams easier so more people can pass. The internet means people can plagiarise. We are becoming more and more obese, consuming more and more material objects, abusing the planet and repleting its resources. The biggest and most powerful countries are led by the corrupt, ruthless or mentally retarded. The poor are getting poorer, the rich are getting richer. TV is dumbing down. What can we do to reverse this trend? (sorry to be drepressing)

Is it a "morning" music, or "night?"

Some kinds of music enervate us and others make us relax. I wonder whether Mozart is useful as background music when I am working? Or when I am meditating?

I am living in China, and have been recently writing some travel articles. I know I can sell them directly to magazines and newspapers. However I would prefer to be able to find an agent to place them for me as I only want to write as a hobby, not as a full time job.

How can I find an good reliable agent?

the idea of solipsism.

the matrix/brains in a vat theory says that our brains could be in jars and our whole life and everything we have ever known is an illusion

solipsism is the idea that you are the only thing that exists and that your subconscious mind has created this whole illusion that is you life. nothing exists but your mind and its perception.

however, either way whether we are brains in a vat or the possiblity of solipsism. wouldnt it be contradicting and false if we as the experiencers of the illusion even call it in to question? i mean this highly complex illusion is so perfect and crystal clear down to its every detail that it has to have been created to accept as truth and reality, wouldnt it destroy the whole meaning of creating it in the first place if we recognize it as an illusion or even come up with the thought of it even being a possibility? why put stimuli or ideas in the illusion that would call it into question? Illusions are made especially in these two cases to deter you away from the truth and true reality. I mean if the two scenerios were true then why make the movie the matrix to even play in you illusion/life if it is going to give you ideas? Why even allow the thought of doubting it all even be possible?. So it would be especially designed in a way NOT to call it all into question. So the very fact that we can even question it without it all falling apart shows that this is in fact reality.

Let's face it Humans are terrible leaders of countries, they promise , yet lie. They initialy get into politics to do good, but special interest groups, friends, and lobbyist get the better of them. They honestly think they can fix the worlds problems, but only manage to make them worse.

So, what country should experiment , by having a non-human ruler ? And what should it be ?
