    yeah but no but the prehistory of these islands are endlessly fascinating its partially a form of map-ophilia or whatever a map fetish is, but its genuinely good fun to visit & a go for strut at the locations cited, you could get all phenomenological but a sightseer style tour offers a surreal...

    As an old landscape archaeologist, i enjoyed Macfarlane's dedication in sifting thru the linguistic stratigraphy of various ethnic groups that have all attempted to map the British Isles over time. My main gripe with Macfarlane was the book didnt go far enough into pre-christian deities &...

    Thats why i'd recommend EMDR over CBT, as dream interpretations & their symbolism are usually discussed in-depth each week, as it seems part of the reprocessing actually occurs during dreams & you know what Freud said about dreams being the royal road.....

    You could be forgiven for thinking about knocking it on the 'ead, surely meditating stoned is just "stoned", non? If there's a chemical barrier, how can you transcend fully? Not lecturing, more an open & curious question for someone with an open mind. In an ideal world cannabis would be...

    Poetry

    further sliding off-topic to your own off-topic, currently reading a v knotty text on surrealism and its various explorations. 1 outstanding chapter on Gnosticism, Blake & many other poets but its hard work (French scholar writing in translation), although the sheer variation of themes makes its...

    expensive if done privately, but i dont know where you are in the world or the extent/coverage of the health-care systems available to you. time consuming, no doubt, but you cant rush healing, it can take time just like physiotherapy does with bone, muscle & freedom of movement. there are many...

    no need - discussion is fun because almost every genre will have its experimental fringe, which often then relay back into the feedback loop of influences moving things forward, even more interesting when getting down to specifics, tracks, artists & differentials....the pejorative connotations...

    Booze = no. 25yrs on the sauce ended in 2012, chef brother uses beer, stouts & porters for stew sauces, but anything intoxicating is cooked right out. If you're into slow cooking cuts of specific meats, it can be the magical ingredient, cos even the heartiest stock can always be jazzed up. Just...

    Why Conspiracy Theories?
