“The emotionally intelligent person knows that they will only ever be mentally healthy in a few areas & at certain moments, but is committed to fathoming their inadequacies and warning others of them in good time, with apology and charm.”
Alain de Botton
Confession: I can't help but re-toot my own toots if I think they're important. My finger just does it.
I dont feel I always have control of my brain, sometimes it verges on enemy territory, the full scope of the universe feels invasive.
that's because the universe is a stars and planets based living form, and what we call life (our species and all the others, even on other planets) is an illness to it, so it is trying, through the rich&powerful, whom it has managed to possess, to destroy life on earth in order to heal a bit. but it's just something like a cold to it, and even if it was like a cancer to it, i'd like for what we call life to expand... (1/?)
@RustyBertrand ...even if that meant its death. obviously, though, it may be totally different, like this earth is a fertilized cell of the universe, and life is supposed to be brought by us to other, non-living planets, while we are also supposed to connect already living-planets, and then this federation of planets would born as a new universe passing through a massive black-hole; so those who want to kill life here are possessed by an illness. (There are many other possible variants). (2/2)

I have imagery, like a map, the universe in my brain. It started when I had measles age 10, fever dreams. Eternity in a moment. But it's my responsibility to hold the universe together.
So, you are right: we don't have as much connections among our neurons than there are stars in the whole universe, but we do have more connections than there are stars in our galaxy, which is... something 🙂
@jones@RustyBertrand The reason for my doubt is just the assumption:
Human knowledge is limited (Need more data), and the ability to understand this knowledge is even more limited.
Unfortunately, it seems like we (as a species) are taking more of an intellectual step backwards these days. 😬
@RustyBertrand@jones
Since decades i "understood" the privileges being born as a white male in europe.
But almost at the same time i got that idea which finally leads nowadays fleing "people":
I am lost in (so called) civilization.😒
It's a cold, soulless destruction of the earth we live on. The tec we "develope to understand" is actually killing (in more than one way) what we try to understand. Since relying on tec and take everything from earth for granted it seems we've lost the ability to listen, to feel empathy, to adjust to recognise what's around us.
"The white man" is in my POV most distorted that way, means unfortunately most destructive because most numbed.
@Grootinside@RustyBertrand
Please read "The dawn of everything": many primitive societies caused ecological disasters even when they where foragers, hunters, farmers, breeders. We use technology since we used to sharp stones to throw to animals or to cut fruits off plants.
We are experiencing the first phase (covid, heat, fires, floods, growing difficulties in growing food) of the decimation of our species and many others (1/2)
@jones@RustyBertrand Thanks for the tipp. Might get it and take it with me on trips next year.
Although - after more than 35years experiencing a LOT of varieties of humans from cultures all over the world (touring in music-/showbiz) upclose i am more interested in experiencing as much nature i can trravel to as possible in my remaining lifetime. #inthenow
Everything is going down anyway. No fortune teller needed to see that. #notjustsad
@RustyBertrand@jones
At least respect the trolls 😉
They provided good weather this year in Norway even near Brekke. So i'm in good hope for next time. 🖖

@jones@RustyBertrand
Up to now we learned/know only so much about our planet and the infinite universe by developing more and more advanced technology to gather more precise data. Yet we haven't even figured out most of "the underwaterworld" of our homeplanet. We just don't know (enough).
Since decades our planet is surrounded by thousands and thousands of datagathering satellites. Yet we still can't predict the weather(systems) exactly, although models become more reliable nowadays. We just don't know or understand enough.
Our knowledge about the universe around us seem still more of a fact-based "guess", theories based on limited collected/available data, in the case of data based on (visible) light, some of which is millions of years old. And afaik we still need to understand what all the datas we gathered mean to us.
