True, and nondual traditions like tantric Buddhism, Advaita Vedanta, and Kashmir Shivism really have a leg up in that regard, but Descartes really cemented it as the supposed “objective” fact (lol) that it is today.
The root problem though is the felt sense of separation the mind creates but that mystical experiences can dissolve.
My kid loves Daniel Tiger so much that in a moment of excitement at the No Kings protest yesterday she exuberantly yelled “DANIEL TIGER!!!”
No POSIX compliance no award!
Patriot is as incredible as it is unknown and I’m happy to find it mentioned here! Some of the most engaging, poignant, absurd, hilarious yet devastating TV I’ve watched.
Are there any better options for keyboard trackpad combo than the Logitech k400 yet?
It was on my wishlist already too, but I do remember seeing it a while back and being intrigued.
I’ve been doing recaps if I don’t feel like rewatching and I’m always glad I did.
In what way do the stupid take care of the good?
Agreed, excellent article and understanding this should be required education… but wtf is this pie chart?
I made hot wings and the flavor was totally complimentary. Highly recommend!
I played Medievia for most of the 90s. I had so much fun! It’s wild the breadth and depth that MUDs have thanks to not having graphics. MMOs can’t hold a candle to them, It’s like writing a novel vs producing a movie.
Happy my recent upgrade has the yellow backlight feature for just this reason
Mid right is from Prospect, a great indy sci fi flick that my friend did the production design for.
He’s definitely not a single dad in the movie tho, he’s more of an evil poacher trying to take advantage of the girl lol
I’ve had it for years, since it came out, and only managed to sink a few hours into it. I recently fired it up again, thanks for the recommendation!
Love to hear it! I read and reread Feist’s whole series as a kid, I remember always being so excited when a new book came out. I cut my teeth learning to read novels on Magician in 3rd grade!
You’ll be interested to learn that Feist didn’t write anything for the game, he just licensed the world and the characters. Neal Hallford wrote the story and dialogue which were brilliant, and Feist later adapted the story into a novel.
I just replayed QfG 1-3 last week on a family vacation and the magic is still strong. Something about these games ignite mythic perspectives in me that nothing else seems to.
Quest for Glory series! Betrayal at Krondor
We can talk about this.
This is absolutely heartbreaking. I can’t imagine the psychological toll. I hope that in a few decades we will collectively look back on this time as an unfortunate side effect of prioritizing only material progress while ignoring inner psychological and emotional reality and will have learned to balance work with family, community, leisure, education, art, and everything else that makes life good and meaningful.
