    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…

    Mission accomplished: I got stung by a blue bottle like a mother bitch.

    January 11, 2018 - By Dave

    Can you control pain? Is it all in the mind?¹ This is the experiment I set out to run just over 4 months ago: And today, I finally I did it.

And the thing that kept him going, by maintaining control over his own mind, was the philosophy of ancient Roman Stoic Epictetus. By putting everything in perspective was…

    I’m hungover. But is telling yourself ‘I’m hungover’ or ‘I’m sick’ just a self-fulfilling prophecy?

    I go for the Oakland Raiders in the NFL. And last night I watched this happen: Anyway, I celebrated like it was 99BC and now my head hurts and I want to vomit. But is it possible to detach yourself from the pain? Because when you’re sick or hungover, the mind has not been affected at all. Just your body.…

    On Pain - On the Mind

    Can you use your mind to overpower pain? (+ my first experiment on pain: Get purposely stung like a motherbitch by a blue bottle)

    September 4, 2017 - By Dave

    If you see a black dog, you think ‘I see a black dog’. And much like you sense the dog with your eyeballs, you also sense when you hurt yourself. So instead of thinking, ‘I can see a black dog’, you can think ‘There is a black dog over there’, rendering that dog insignificant in relation to yourself. So can…
