If I Ruled The World
What would atheists do if they were omnipotent like God? Would they prevent natural calamities and all the bad things in the world?
Suppose I, as an omnipotent being, decided to eliminate all natural disasters, all crime, all diseases, all war.
Great! Now everyone can live happily to over 100 years old without any suffering. But now there’s a ( Read more... ) -
Mechanisms of Plurality
A conversation a while back on a tulpa forum got me thinking about the similarity between tulpas, soulbonds and dissociative alters, and why this might be.
- Does the underlying mechanism through which tulpas form have similarities to how other types of plurality, such as DID, form?
I think there are definitely some similarities between tulpamancy ( Read more... ) -
Lazy day
Today has been one of those do-nothing-much kind of days. Though it was nice to see Lincoln get a 2-2 draw in the FA Cup against Ipswich. And my final Xmas pressie (from Kat) arrived in the post today so I will start reading that soon.

Or how that milestone birthday; 30, 40, 50, creeps up on you and pounces when you're not expecting it ( Read more... ) -
Your Mission, should you choose to accept it
What is your mission?I've never really been one for accepting missions, setting grand goals or striving for long-held dreams.

I really ought to...
...blog more often. There are so many things about LJ that I hate and yet I miss it too, those years from 2001 to around 2008 or so. Back in the beginning I had an account with a number under #2000. They don;t even show numbers any more. I bet this one is like, sixty million or something like that.
I wonder if there's a way to auto-crosspost to -
The Eldritch Horror of the Number Eleven Bus
(This was a writing challenge, to write a short piece in the style of your favourite author. I chose HP Lovecraft, not because he's my favourite but because his style is more easily recognised).It is with a trembling hand and a heart full of dread that I must recall my last encounter; one which leaves my mind teetering on the very knife-edge of ( Read more... )
