For more stuff on the mind, here's a few things I've found interesting or useful: Personal development
The power of belief
Intimate relationships & love
Aspergers / Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) & empathy Test yourself (note the AQ & empathy tests measure different things): Types of empathy: The term Aspergers has recently been officially dropped, but I prefer "aspies" to high-functioning ASD as I don't think it's right to label it a 'disorder'. Aspies simply tend to be very logical/analytical/good at problem-solving ("joining up dots"), which makes them more logical/blunt in their communication than "neuro-typical" people (partly as they find it hard to judge how others are feeling or know how they will interpret & react to what they say), and this gets misinterpreted as not caring or a general lack of empathy, But actually we're very caring, with extreme neuro-sensitivity to the plight of others and the world around us (including sound, touch, sight, balance etc., depending on the person), and it's this brain sensitivity that is responsible for all or most of the other commonly recognised autism traits. Yes, it's a short list above - I don't read a lot as my mind wanders off too much (or it could be my aphantasia). Anyway, you should beware of too much reading (TV of the early 20th Century):  Some more Einstein quotes, much of it in common with my view on life:       Talking of change, attached below for your amusement (and my embarrassment) is something of a contrast on my more recent writings on God - my student magazine rant showing "Blatant Contempt for God" (& hypocritical elements of the church). But I still think the messages of how to live a good life are more important than the messenger / "Him", and it turns out I actually share the religions of past teachers:   |
