Hmmm.
Have you read Iain McGilchrist? He has carried out long-term studies on left and right brain function (including very interesting studies of left and right brain stroke victims, and how they are affected). Fascinating stuff (of course Islander will tell you that's all been discredited years ago, but he's wrong; he's just out of touch). Of course there is still much to be learned on the topic, but as well as his professional qualifications and experience, McGilchrist is also a bit of a philosopher who is worth a listen to/read of. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Yeah, that was the guy I was thinking of. It's part of the whole "everything you thought you knew is wrong" theme: that memory is not about boxes of things it's about what not to remember

Ooooh....(sucks teeth ).
Of course you realise that the human brain is the most complicated structure in the known universe?* Don't hold your breath!
*Well, some are
If you haven't already, Dr. Stuart Hameroff's work is worth checking out too. He has worked in conjunction with Prof. Roger Penrose on possible quantum brain function ideas - much of it theory at present, but very interesting nevertheless, and could lead to discoveries in the future. Hameroff's work relating to microtubules within the brain and elsewhere is particularly interesting. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

When you leg-pull, you're not supposed to walk away with a bleeding limb in your hands
You have debated on technical matters, but your political debate is non-existent. That's when you most seem to resort to personal attacks. But you must understand, most of politics is just matters of opinion. There are very few definitive 'facts'. So you can't take the same scientific approach as you would to...er, science Politicians would do well to learn that too. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Thing is, personal attacks with no explanation don't leave you (or anyone else) in a good light - I could live with them more if you stated why you disagree with someone first. But to walk in, in the middle of a discussion and just attack someone personally, with no other input...well, if you must you must, but yeah; doesn't look good. I say it because I see it a lot (don't mean just from you) and it moves nothing anywhere, completely pointless as well as distasteful. I would expect to be called out if I did the same. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Apologies for banging the same old thread-bare drum but without dialogue how would one know what the other sees? (Note sees not thinks.) "I'll keep it to myself" doesn't help anyone
For instance why is nationalism a bad thing? (I'm assuming from the pairing with Neanderthal.) It seems perfectly fine when associated with Scottish independence ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

My nationalism is ok, it's yours that is disgraceful
It's all about degree I think. I don't think nationalism per se is a bad thing. It doesn't necessarily sit in a vacuum anyway. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Have they tried paying the Russian soldiers to drop their guns and fuck-off? Either in cash or ciggies/vodka/porn.
Probably worth a try and cheaper than anti-tank rockets. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
