    FAFO: Live Streams from the event & Live Workflow demos | Sports, Music, Culture

    May 10, 2026 - By Dave

    This isn’t content. It’s conversation. Live. FAFO is two things – Live streams from real events: sports, music, culture and technology, from wherever and whenever the atmosphere is doing its thing. And live workflows tied to the moment: using the same kind of cultural moments to explore how tools like Copilot can help with analysis, performance evaluation, strategy, creative thinking, decision-making or…

    The Philosophy of: Philosophy (and one of my Philosophy tutors)

    March 27, 2018 - By Dave

    When Science and Technology advance to the point where people are going to live for 200+ years, the ironic thing is that the one thing that science ensured we drifted away from –being human– is going to be the one thing we eventually need to do most (and the one that we might have forgotten to do (sidenote: more irony…

  • Constant Consciousness - On Being Human - On Consciousness - On Decisions

    Is it possible that your consciousness is what actually makes your life WORSE? Maybe we ask too many questions and analyse too much? Anyway that’s why the name of the site is changing for today.

    February 26, 2018 - By Dave

    Do other mammals, reptiles, blades of couch grass exhibit consciousness? And do they even have any? Or are all their decisions (?) and actions unconsciously performed? All for the good of their own species, own family, own 1×1 metre square of fellow couch grass blades? Sure, an examined life does help you to see what really matters and put things in…

    The Philosophy of: Lucy – Who you are, what you want to be… it’s all obstacles.

    January 24, 2018 - By Dave

    All the (created) anxieties around life, like ‘You have to find your passion’, you have to be successful, you have to own a house as young as possible, you need to look cool, or hot, or young… it’s all bullshit… and as Lucy says, it’s all obstacles. All of that stands in the way of unlocking the true power of your…

    A Deep Dive into: Humanity [pt.1] – Are humans the only ones who feel so connected to–and such empathy for–other species?

    January 15, 2018 - By Dave

    We can feel so much compassion and connection to other animals. Whether they’re dogs, cats, gerbels, or a small used jar with a spider in it that you poke holes in and give grass to every day (I did that once when I was about 10 years old. The spider died not long after. I feel bad.) The human condition…

    Instead of asking ‘Where are you from?’, what about asking ‘What’s your character?’ instead?

    January 6, 2018 - By Dave

    Where you grew up or your birthplace or nationality is not who you are at all. Sure, there are customs that it’s advisable to adhere to where you are, but that is not your personality. Stereotypes are absolute bullshit. As is thinking you can understand something immediately about someone’s personality based on where they’re from. So instead of asking ‘Where are…

    You are made of the elements that created the universe (ie. You’re an old fuck. More specifically, about 14 billion years old.) Oh, and also, your wife, partner, passionate latin lover, fuck buddy, whatever… they’re your cousin.

    December 7, 2017 - By Dave

    All energy that is used up, lost, burned up, or evaporates, gets used in some other natural processes. And so if the universe is a zero-energy universe, where no energy can be created or destroyed, and all the energy that came into it still remains in it that means we are made of parts of the elements that formed the…

    On Being Human - On Knowledge of Self

    Ancient China… Ancient Greece… right here, right now… Same shit.

    October 26, 2017 - By Dave

    The thing about all the self-help guidance and advice you hear is that the same things have been told for thousands of years. Though the language might have changed, the messages remain exactly the same. What they were telling each other about how to live a good life in Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Through the middle ages, to the Renaissance…
