    On Suicide.

    Might helping people who consider suicide, to feel less trapped and more in control, be helpful to managing suicidal thoughts?

  • There is no ‘We the people’

    There is no ‘We the people’

    There is a time between waking and rising. I find that time to be particularly full of insights and reflections. Today – I have been pondering this ‘we, the people’ concept that is often used to justify election outcomes. Democracy has become a popularity contest. I say ‘has become’ because I assume it wasn’t meant […]

    10 Days into #LinkyBrains and this is what it's about for me.

    10 mad days It has been the maddest 10 days of my life and I’ve had plenty mad.

  • Why Are Women Not Paid The Same As Men?

    I have been tip toeing around this in my head. I thought I knew why, but actually I think I’m as much a victim of my own preconceptions as anyone! So basically I’m zeroing what I know. Please help me understand. So here is my question. I am saddened by this situation and angry too. […]

  • Musing on Citizenship-as-a-Service.

      I have a tax bill due. It is ‘tax on profits’ and while I have the money set aside to pay it, there is still a deep sense of hesitation to hand the money over. Hold up, here comes the science bit. Long ago humans became collectives to live and hunt together, socialise and […]

  • An Experiment for Good.

      This weekend I’m taking a break from ServiceChat. I’ll hang out with my family and go to some friends on Saturday for a BBQ and on Sunday, we’ll head to Salobreña for our first San Juan celebration (no , I don’t really know what it is either!). This weekend also, I want to try […]

  • There is no room here for your anger.

    I had a funny experience last night. Not funny “hahaha”, more funny “wow that’s deep!” Here is what happened. I had put my sons to bed and a few hours later, I went to sleep also. Then, at about 3am I was woken up by my older son, Ruben , falling out of bed.  I […]

    I have a gift for you. It’s a gift that was given to me and it is changing my life and my relationships. It has given me a language that I didn’t even know I didn’t have.
