Energy without reason - self defense as an obstacle

posted by Leila Summa

Just wanted to share some thoughts about David Bohms, “On Dialogue” book:

At some point anger/pain starts to sustain itself & becomes an energy without reason. Realising this, “the natural self-defense impulse, which we got in the jungle, has been transferred from the jungle animals to these opinions/angers.” (Bohm, 1996). So we start to defend our opinions as we would defend ourselves. This does unfortunately not allow a dialogue to take place. Because if two are right you can not lead a dialogue (i agree to David Bohms hypothesis). Thought defends its basic assumptions agains evidence, the may be wrong and this leads to a “Block, “insensitivity” or “anesthesia” about one’s own contractions. Ever experienced?

Webwill

posted by Leila Summa

Lisa Granberg raises the same questions like I did in my speech: “Re-dying & the end(lessness) of virtual eternity” on the Brighton Fringe Festival in May 2009. She is developing a - in my humble opinion - very useful service: Webwill. This service will allow you to handle all your online accounts and decide what will happen after you passed away.
Explanation of the service:

What about woman-ipulation?

posted by Leila Summa

Everybody is talking about manipulation,  some about  faci-pulation but what about woman-ipulation? Some definitions…

Facipulation:

  • facipulation: To use facilitation to manipulate a desired outcome. Basically it’s what consultants do. They get employees to do what their company wants them to do, while making the employee think it’s their idea. (via)
  • Or “Facipulation” - the art of facilitating with a hidden agenda.” (via)
  • “We should recognize as well that there is nothing extra clever in using facipulation, it is in many ways a last resort when we have not suceeded through the use of pure facilitation” (via)

Womanipulation:

  • “What a woman does when she needs her man to do something for her. Often involves batting eyelashes and making faces. ” (via)
  • “The Rules for “capturing the heart of Mr. Right” (via)
  • Ars amatoria Buch III: “Womanipulation”: Nachdem der praeceptor amoris zu Beginn der Ars nur die Unterweisung des Mannes angekündigt hat (I34-40), sagt er nach Beendigung des Lehrgangs ganz überraschen (II745f.): Sieh an, es bittend die zwarten Frauen, ich möge Ihnen Lehren erteilen. Um euch werde ich mich in meinem nächsten Buch kümmern.” Ovid, von Niklas Holzberg
