STUCK IN THE GREY. I want to be alone: the rise and rise of solo living.
Human societies, at all times and places, have organised themselves around the will to live with others, not alone. But not any more. During the past half-century, our species has embarked on a remarkable social experiment. For the first time in human history, great numbers of people – at all ages, in all places, of every political persuasion – have begun settling down as singletons. Until the second half of the last century, most of us married young and parted only at death. Numbers never tell the whole story, but in this case the statistics are startling. Contemporary solo dwellers in the US are primarily women: about 18 million, compared with 14 million men.
Sweden has more solo dwellers than anywhere else in the world, with 47% of households having one resident; followed by Norway at 40%. But despite the worldwide prevalence, living alone isn't really discussed, or understood. So what is driving it? Colm Toibin, 56 No one told me when I was small that I could live like this.

The Cambridge University neuropsychiatrist Dr Valerie Voon has recently shown that men who describe themselves as addicted to porn (and who lost relationships because of it) develop changes in the same brain area – the reward centre – that changes in drug addicts.
The study, not yet published, is featured next week in the Channel 4 TV show Porn on the Brain. Neurosceptics may argue that pictures of the brain lighting up in addicts tell us nothing new – we already know they are addicted. But they do help: knowing the reward centre is changed explains some porn paradoxes. In the mid-1990s I, and other psychiatrists, began to notice the following.
Yet, though he craved it, he didn't like it (porn paradox 1). We often talk about addicts as though they simply have "quantitative problems". Until recently, scientists believed our brains were fixed, their circuits formed and finalised in childhood, or "hardwired". Teenagers' brains are especially plastic.
Où est la cavalière? Artspeak: culture sector's most wanted | Culture professionals network | Guardian Professional. Daniel Blight wrote an excellent piece this week on how to write an artist statement, and the reasons why we need to drop the artspeak, the "preposterously complex, jargon-laden" descriptions associated with art. And it goes for more than just statements: what about performance programmes, promotional tweets, or the words that arts PRs sometimes use to drive us hacks up the wall? Take this example, from Daniel's piece: Combining radical notions of performativity and the body as liminal space, my practice interrogates the theoretical limitations of altermodernism.
My work, which traverses disparate realms of object-making such as painting and performance, investigates the space between metabolism and metaphysics and the aporia inherent to such a discourse Impressed? As some of you have told us, not at all – and never. Of course, the vocabulary and sentiment of artspeak is not without its meaning (and place) but to engage wider audiences, don't we need to clear things up a little bit? Writing an artist statement? First ask yourself these four questions | Culture professionals network | Guardian Professional. "Combining radical notions of performativity and the body as liminal space, my practice interrogates the theoretical limitations of altermodernism. My work, which traverses disparate realms of object-making such as painting and performance, investigates the space between metabolism and metaphysics and the aporia inherent to such a discourse.
" Are you impressed yet? These forms of writing are scattered across the contemporary art world. You can find preposterously complex, jargon-laden artist statements on the websites of galleries and pop-up project spaces all over the English-speaking world. This is a dialect of the privileged; the elite university educated. The funny thing is, the chat you actually hear at a gallery opening rarely uses this language. What is the alternative to artspeak? Where does this artspeak come from? Believe it or not, it does come from somewhere and that place is often very interesting, if you're into art theory. Who are you really writing for? Adoption-parties-the-best-way-to-find-a-child-a-family-8835355. To the casual onlooker, the event – which took place in a primary school in Bolton – looked like something in between a childrens' party and a school fête.
Outside, there were bouncy castles, giant Lego, and animals to pet, and inside there was everything from soft play to face painting to crafts and later, after the party tea, a magic show. But behind the fun, the aim could hardly have been more serious: to get some of the 59 children who attended out of the care system and into adoptive families. Adoption parties – or activity days, as the British Association for Adoption and Fostering (BAAF) prefers to call them – have been going just shy of two years in the UK and the idea is simple. Invite a bunch of kids who, for various reasons (they may be in sibling groups, have disabilities, be a bit older etc), have been hard to place. Then invite a bunch of approved adopters. At least there's the "quiet room".

I’ve had quite a few of those in the last few weeks. Days when despite the sunshine, I see clouds of gray. Days when I wonder where God is, where hope is to be found, when relief will come. Sometimes this is personal pain. More often, it’s pain carried by someone I love. And then, there is all.the.angst — the burdens borne by our big, wild, crazy world.
I’ve lived long enough to see too much ugliness, too much suffering, too much. I’ve tried cutting myself off from news sources. I’ve tried focusing on the small graces of every day life. But, in and around the thanksgiving, there are those other days. Massive overwhelm, uncertainty deep in my soul, tears beneath the tears, knots within knots within knots.
And on such days, words escape me, gratitude is much harder to find, and I sense myself suffering what Madeleine L’Engle used to describe as the flu-like symptoms of atheism, the temporary variety.

Contents Contents | rgb Home | Philosophy Home | Axioms | Other Books by rgb: | The Book of Lilith | Axioms is a work that explores the true nature of human knowledge, in particular the fundamental nature of deductive and inductive reasoning. It begins by embracing Hume's Skepticism and Descartes' one ``certain'' thing, and then looking for a way out of the solipsistic hell this leaves one in in terms of ``certain'' knowledge. Indeed, to the extent that philosophy in the past has sought to provide certain answers to virtually any question at all, philosophy itself proves to be bullshit - all philosophical arguments ultimately come back to at least one unprovable premise, usually unstated, and can be refuted by simply asserting ``I don't agree with your premises.'' The way out is to give up the idea of certain knowledge.
All non-immediate knowledge of the world is based on these premises, which are unprovable assumptions, or axioms. Axioms by Robert G. Dedication Notice Copyright Notice. The End of Suffering. Jean-Jacques Rousseau Quotes (Author of The Social Contract) A Point of View: Why embracing change is the key to happiness. 7 September 2013Last updated at 20:54 ET Human happiness may rely on our ability to conquer a natural fear of upsetting the status quo, says AL Kennedy. Imagine three identical boxes. Two are empty and one contains your heart's desire, perhaps love, perhaps a nice cup of tea. A kind, if slightly perverse, person says you can pick one box and own its contents. Let's say you select Box A.
The person then shows you Box B is empty. So either Box A - your choice, or Box C - a mystery, contains your happiness. If you're like me, you won't want to change. But I am quite change-averse. Some of my hope should come from the possibilities of positive change, but I ignore this. So I battle inevitable changes, avoid hopeful changes and when I'm not therefore engaged in pointless combat, I'm pretending change doesn't exist, which is even more pointless and can make me cruel. New situations, new people, new languages - we can interpret any of these as an unwelcome, if not threatening, change. Claiming our Fullness: Bringing ourselves out of hiding | Womb Of Light. Understanding the impact of patriarchal paradigms on women is critical to our full empowerment. It’s easy to take for granted or not fully realize how powerfully the patriarchy has affected how we see ourselves and the world.
In order to survive within a patriarchal society, women have had to internalize beliefs that turn them against themselves. And in order to ensure the survival of their children, they’ve had to pass along those beliefs onto their daughters. It’s no wonder why there can be fierce competition between women—we are expected to give up parts of ourselves in order to be accepted by patriarchal values, while at the same time unable to fully suppress our longing for the full experience of our potential.
Our full potential lies outside the confines of what the patriarchy has permitted for us. We need to transform fierce competition into fierce support. Patriarchal society cannot give us the validation we seek. Women tend not to blame men for having to disown themselves. John Cage's 10 rules for teachers and students at Merce ... | Art.

Growing up as a preacher’s kid in the heart of the Bible Belt, this was a lesson I learned quickly. I was taught that following Jesus came with an extensive list of do’s and don’ts that weed out the devout from the deadbeats. Do go to church. Don’t fall asleep in church. Do evangelize non-Christians. Don’t socialize with non-Christians. Do value God’s gift of sex. According to Jesus, in the hierarchy of spiritual acts and activities, love tops them all.
These are just a few examples from our long, complicated and often contradictory self-regulated code of conduct. But it should be noted that the list Jesus gives is quite different—His list is shorter and exponentially more difficult. When asked by the religious experts of the day for His sanctimonious Top 10, He responded with a subversive top two. That’s it. According to Jesus, in the hierarchy of spiritual acts and activities, love tops them all. Let me suggest 5 ways to love people you don’t really like: Où est la cavalière? Où est la cavalière? Why talented creatives are leaving your agency. Cartoon from The Awesome World of Advertising Fed up with life at the agency coalface? Sick of working all weekend and not getting any credit for it? Murat Mutlu feels your pain. His heartfelt rant sums up the frustrations of many a creative today Over the past few months it seems like I keep having the same conversation over and over again with friends in dozens of agencies around London.
It usually starts off like this: "Who do you think is the best agency is at the moment? And ends with them explaining why they are thinking of moving on. The exodus of talent we've been hearing so much about at executive/director level is now filtering down to smart young digital/mobile creatives, planners and account managers. The people who generate all the ideas and work are evolving and realising that they themselves could be reaping the rewards rather than the agency. Many agencies are offering whatever trend makes them seem relevant to existing and potential clients (who sadly lap this shit up). Où est la cavalière? STUCK IN THE GREY. Mastery.

"Taking Notes on Philosophical Texts" How To Think Like A Mad Man, Find Your Edge & Risk Little For Lots. Submitted by Thomas Gresham of Gresham's Law How To Think Like A Mad Man, Find Your Edge & Risk Little For Lots The enigma that is eccentricity can be unravelled by grasping of this single statement; that which you perceive is both a matter of the object of your perception (in this case; the eccentric person) and your apparatus of perception. Eccentricity, then, is as much a quirk of the popular mind as it is of a particular person. So with the assumption that you seek creativeness and intrigue — here’s how to think eccentrically, find your edge and risk little for lots.
Eccentricity over the ages. ‘How to think’: It may sound peculiar that contrary thinking is required to achieve creative thoughts… This, however, becomes self-evident when we realize that thinking the way someone else thinks results in mimicry — a “copy-cat” requires the minimum of creative thought… Therefore, the inference is that to achieve any creativeness, some change has to be made. Recommended Reading: How to talk like Jacques Derrida (idea) by ryano. Jacques Derrida is everyone's favourite French philosopher, much-loved for his pioneering of deconstruction, coining of the word différance, and general cheerful poststructuralism.
However, if you've ever read any of his writings, especially in English translation, you will also be aware that his style of communication can cause bending of the brain. Much as we love his ideas, we find it easier to hear them explained by anybody other than the man himself. Anybody who has completed a degree in philosophy or literature will have asked him or herself the question, "Why would you choose to write in such an abstruse manner?
". Personally, I have always assumed there could only be two reasons: A conventional style of writing would have been incompatible with his ideas of deconstruction, for some incredibly arcane reason which would always be beyond my grasp.He deliberately wanted to confuse the reader so as to make himself seem more intelligent. How to Disagree. March 2008 The web is turning writing into a conversation. Twenty years ago, writers wrote and readers read. The web lets readers respond, and increasingly they do—in comment threads, on forums, and in their own blog posts. Many who respond to something disagree with it. The result is there's a lot more disagreeing going on, especially measured by the word.
If we're all going to be disagreeing more, we should be careful to do it well. DH0. This is the lowest form of disagreement, and probably also the most common. U r a fag!!!!!!!!!!
