I’m in California or Mexico right now (probably), so for a few weeks, this is a collection of all my favourite questions I’ve thought of in the last year and bit since I started this blog. You have the answers to everything you want to know (about the world or about yourself) inside of you, all it takes is to ask yourself the right question. And…

To be or not to be, that is the question… So what was Shakespeare’s Hamlet on about here? We know nothing about death (and the proof, as Jerry Seinfeld says, is that we give dead people a pillow. There is no one you can ask about it. It is the one thing, by nature of the mortality of biological organisms,…
If the Onion have nailed this one, it could be the most important article they have, since it doesn’t involve just a major life decision, a major life fear, regret and a decision that involves a whole life (or at least a massive chunk of it) of living your life in a way you don’t honestly want to. Why? Out of fear of…

And yeah, nature is unpredictable and even though we came from it, we still try to work it out.

So if you were fine before it happened, it’s proof you’ll be fine after it’s gone. Which is like life. At some point you didn’t live. And the world worked fine. And at some point you will be dead,…
Occasionally as we get caught up in the changes taking place in our lives, or during the course of new situations, we can stray from our personal philosophy and our the approach to our lives that helped us become who we are.

And when she saw this patient a few weeks before, she was confused as what to say to them, specifically how to say see ya,…
There’s one thing, just one, that is impossible to ever know about. One thing that no one can ever experience and tell us about, for us to know, for a fact, what it’s like. And yep, that is pretty much my favourite topic to talk about, (just behind this): death. We think death is a terrible event. At least for…
‘We Never Really Die’ *(go to 1:35) When the first single cell organism, the prokaryote, began to exist, it learned about its environment. It survived, and that information on how to survive and withstand possible dangers was passed on to its next generation. Then if the next organism because even more evolved and better adapted to its environment, it was…
