The ultimate ouput of the human civlisation

Human earthlings are peculiar creatures. They take this

this

and  this

And turn it into this

this and this.

Invariably into  this:

Credit card penetration

I am very open-minded but I would give this one a miss. I don't care if you swipe, insert or tap.

Religion is...

...the worst advertising for God.

Childhood obesity

Young earthlings these days learn to count on their chins.

Verbosity

Some earthlings don't know the difference between talking and not talking because they have never experienced the latter.

London is...

a flurry of faces.

Friendship in London

God bless London for the practically limitless supply of seasonal friends.

Political science in a nutshell

Human earthlings tend to flock together and establish weird pecking orders.

Du temps

If earthlings tell you they are too busy to have time for you, BELIEVE them!

Reification

Collectively imagining things into existence is what earthlings mostly spend their lives doing.

The myth of sexy body transformations

The truth about "before and after".

In this case the simulachra did not even bother to move on to the next stage in any physical sense. Just a bit of preening and lighting. Result: thousands imbued with a get-a-sexy-body neurosis, mealtime guilt and a lifetime of unrealistic expectations.

Human ignorance

Earthlings' ignorance of the true nature of their condition is the root of all their suffering.

London friends

London friends have the wave nature. All things going right, they occur wth a frequency about once a month, although twice-a-year ones are quite common too.

Neither too shallow, nor too deep: the Middle Path of human relationships

There is a Japanese saying about human relationships: "asakarazu, fukakarazu" (浅からず、深からず). Go too deep and you risk hitting the dregs of the human psyche you would not want to deal with, go too shallow and you will skip on the surface without developing anything meaningful. Staying in the middle is hard work, because it is not a simple middle ground or compromise.

Love is...
