Special Effects
The order is illusory, but when I speak of things being illusory, that’s not a criticism. Illusion is pragmatic. We function not in the real world, but in a virtual reality even when nowhere near our computers. We need our perceptions to be real enough to be functional, but we cannot make them perfectly accurate.…

Without Words
Can you think without words? Maybe that would depend on the sort of thinking it is. I often think in images and then would have to translate that into words. I think so, but we’re not practiced at seeing it well. Sometimes I think in images, but it’s usually a flash. Some would say that…

It does involve things like that, especially tracking the star Venus,…

Trying to Orient
I have to apologize. This has been a tough topic for me. I feel like people are islands, because they choose to be. They devise all sorts of complicated strategies for understanding each other, the social world, all sorts of ideals and rules, and no one plays by the same rules really. Those that are…

Look Carefully
Anyone feeling alienated yet? You don’t need society’s acceptance. It has been shown that you only need a few select connections to thrive.
