    On Providence - Why you do it

    If you try to prove Murphy’s Law, you can’t. Because any attempt to do so will –based on Murphy’s Law– go wrong. And that’s another reason why it’s dumb as shit.

    October 23, 2018 - By Dave

    You can’t prove something that necessarily and inherently cannot be proven true. Therefore, my conclusion is: Murphy’s Law = Dumb as shit. Because of this: I just invented ‘Reverse Murphy’s Law’. Dumb, right? Yep, just like Murphy’s Law. And this: Murdering Murphy’s Law And this is why a believe in it is not only dumb as shit but affects how…

    Viva la Vida & The Philosophy of Frida Kahlo [pt.2]

    August 14, 2018 - By Dave

    This was contentiously the last thing Frida Kahlo ever painted: But even if it’s not agreed that it undeniably was, it’s pretty much agreed that her inscription was done just days before she died. Despite her challenging life, she perhaps still maintained that love for life, through all life’s good and bad shit (the latter of which she had shitloads).

  • On Questions - Why you do it

    Can you name one event that people get congratulated for that was done ENTIRELY within their control and ENTIRELY with their own free will? (The only thing that you can truly congratulate someone for is…umm…?)

    March 1, 2018 - By Dave

    Any thing ‘fortunate’ that happens happen with either the help of other people, conditions or things you don’t control. Getting married relies on someone else accepting you. Having a baby relies on favourable biological dispositions within the father and mother’s body. Getting accepted into University relies on acceptance by the Admission officers (yes, you may have worked hard for it,…

    Missing the point #6 & [Am I full of shit? #2]: Why am I getting a tattoo of Snufkin today?* (Especially since he’s maybe the last person who’d see the point in getting one) *Actually,2 of him and 2 of what he says.

    December 2, 2017 - By Dave

    What’s the point of tattoos? I don’t know and it might be different for every person, but today I’m getting this done on one arm: And this on the other: With this text somewhere too: It’s so exciting… Things which you have no control over… You can see a great big storm coming and you can’t do anything about it.…

    Why you do it: Handwriting and sending letters overseas like it’s 1997

    August 30, 2017 - By Dave

    Socrates said that an unexamined life is not worth living. And as is one without purpose. A purpose for everything we do. When’s the last time you handwrote a letter and sent it? I’m about to for the first time since September 2006, to a friend across a shit ton of postcodes (Spain). Why? One, because I’m a luddite and most…

    Don’t take anyone’s word for it (except maybe the Pirahã)

    June 13, 2017 - By Dave

    The Pirahã people of Brazil don’t believe anything unless they actually see it for themselves. And if they’re told a story or someone gives them advice, they don’t accept it unless that person’s actually experienced it themself. It’s the ‘immediacy of experience’ principle. The Pirahã also don’t think or talk about worst-case scenarios because their language has no future (or past) tense. What…

    Stoicism - Why you do it

    Ben Lee wrote about my blog (well, a line)

    June 12, 2017 - By Dave

    This happened today (well, actually last week, but I don’t check my Facebook because I have 0 Facebook friends): That’s pretty cool. Especially since it’s Ben Lee –someone whose music I not only love, but whose philosophy on life is one I try to live by in many ways. Another thing I try to live by is to enjoy the…

    Don’t read this. Seriously, don’t.

    May 21, 2017 - By Dave

    Clickbait is everywhere. Basically anything on the internet is clickbait. But it’s not different to anything else in life either. Newspaper headlines, movie names, even book titles are all cooked up to hook you. But the internet is pretty much based on clickbait. Articles with titles designed to make you worry, scared, excited or feel FOMO (Fear of missing out, which…

    Success lies in the process not in the praise

    May 19, 2017 - By Dave

    Academy and Grammy award winners talk about the crash they feel soon after they win. They get the high of the victory but soon after, many think ‘Is that it? Now what? Where do I go from here?’ It’s because being what society sees as ‘successful’ is something most of us strive for, but in fact creating a positive routine,…

    This could be your last day on Earth. Okay, go.

    May 18, 2017 - By Dave

    If this were the last day you were going to be alive, what would you do? And at the end of it, would you be happy with how you spent it? I’m sure you’ve seen this kind of thing before: or: or the lamest one of all: Shitty. And the last one’s twice as shitty because the guy on the right spent…
