Me, in a nut’s shell, now…💔

What's even worse, are the not-even-veiled, snarky hints such as, "don't be such a party-pooper", "thanks for making everyone else miserable", "why do you always have to make everything about yourself?" The world has become on an individual level, the perfect copy of "monarchies" such as the UK, where a parody "king" and his multi-bill/millionaire … Continue reading Me, in a nut’s shell, now…💔

Părerea de rău nu are maluri.Te îneacă hain, implacabilă, ca o încleștare de gheare înghețate, amintire a vinei întârziatului la împărtășania ultimei suflări.Cândva, prin toamna lui 1977, dacă bine îmi aduc minte, într-una dintre primele ore de limbă și literatură română, mi-am auzit numele citit din catalogul anului întâi al liceului industrial de telecomunicații din … Continue reading Îndurerarea-ntârzierii…

“Sapiointimacy©” (vs. Sapiosexuality) – When ‘Coming Out’, Means Going In”, or “Desecrating my Skeletons-Closet I”

I have learned -the hard way- a lesson, having realised at 60, that I have wrecked my life, in the (altruistic or forced) service of anyone else but myself, falling for the (probably) greatest mistake an intellectual/writer/artist can make, i.e. a culturally conditioned “other half” mentality, without ever considering that for us, the cerebral connection, … Continue reading “Sapiointimacy©” (vs. Sapiosexuality) – When ‘Coming Out’, Means Going In”, or “Desecrating my Skeletons-Closet I”

Resilience

“Resilience” is one of the societal expectations concept, enforced by those who gather taxes, yet instead of having a smart Joseph to prepare the country for draught and famine, are spending them on lavish managerial indoctrinations about why employees must be “encouraged” to become “more” resilient.
In the UK, this has become visible through the shameless normalisation of “food banks”, where the majority of those who have thrown away their last molecules of dignity, are employees with full time jobs…
Excellent post from @makagutu!

Random thoughts

Merriam-Webster defines it as capability of a strained body to recover its size and shape after deformation caused especially by compressive stress. You wonder why I bring this up, but hear me out.

In many fora, I hear people say Africa is resilient. Speaker after speaker talk about how Kenyans are resilient, that we manage as a people to recover after tragedy but I disagree with these speakers. They are spreading a gospel I can’t consciously agree to. I am not in any way opposed to resilience, not at all. So I hope I am not misunderstood.

My argument here is that as Africans, generally, and Kenyans in specific, we have learnt to survive. There is nothing great in surviving bad leadership. What choice have we? We must keep surviving or we perish and I don’t want to call this resilience. It is just basic common sense.

I’m not even sure how to call what I am about to tell you.

Open Letter: Response to Prof @sbaroncohen ’s reply to @Rev_Rom_C ’s Twitter post on 1st October 2020, or The importance of Asperger’s Syndrome as a unique clinical diagnostic category – II –

To correctly understand the motives behind this (I must confess, unexpected) exchange of twitter posts between Prof Simon Baron-Cohen and myself, partially on an unrelated (and as such, left out of the body of this article) subject, I have copy/pasted Prof Baron-Cohen’s tweet which prompted my rather angry response, and his reply. Because it would … Continue reading Open Letter: Response to Prof @sbaroncohen ’s reply to @Rev_Rom_C ’s Twitter post on 1st October 2020, or The importance of Asperger’s Syndrome as a unique clinical diagnostic category – II –
