Didn't sleep until very late and not very well. Possibly all the churning over all the bits I reviewed from South Africa that didn't make it into yesterday's post, or oil war from Tuesday?
But today I'll have a much simpler one: just a look at how we've talked about early hominins and how those changing narratives reflect more about ourselves and our desires/prejudices today than history itself (now changing rapidly due to genetic insights & expanded dig sites).
Morning folks! Happy Thursday.
@MLClark empathy and awareness are dualities of blessing and curse. Keep your arms and legs inside the ride until it comes to a full and complete stop.
“No sympathy for the devil; keep that in mind. Buy the ticket, take the ride...and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well...maybe chalk it up to forced consciousness expansion: Tune in, freak out, get beaten.”
Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
"Tune in, freak out, get beaten" is amazing. New slogan for the day, thank you!
@MLClark I've found that, when I try to go to sleep while in a writing fever, it doesn't go very well. So I read for about a half-hour before bedtime, seems to put my mind in passive mode.
Your kilometerage may vary.
Mental note:
As with turning off tech before bed, be sure to turn off at least a few parts of the polycrisis before 9pm for optimal rest!
