O que somos é estupidamente mal governados
"“A maior Zona Económica Exclusiva da UE... tão grande como todo o continente europeu?
- 80% de solo arável, quase em completo abandono.
- Invejável rede hidrográfica a nível mundial.
- Grandes reservas de água doce, em aquíferos subterrâneos... inesgotáveis.
- As maiores reservas de ferro, da UE, de excelente qualidade.
- As maiores reservas de cobre da Europa (segundas no mundo).
- As maiores reservas de tungsténio (volfrâmio) da Europa.
- As maiores reservas de lítio da Europa.
- As maiores reservas de terras raras.
- As segundas maiores reservas de urânio da Europa.
- Grandes reservas mineiras de ouro, prata e platina.
- E as incomensuráveis riquezas que as águas do Atlântico escondem.
- Uma das maiores reservas de petróleo da Europa que já vão ser exploradas na costa do algarve por companhias alemãs e espanholas... e vão pagar a Portugal 20 cêntimos por barril enquanto ele está nestes dias a 92 dólares o barril...
- Reservas de gaz natural e de xisto na placa continental que dá para pelo menos para 100 anos sem precisar de ninguém!”

do sistema imunitário
"There is mounting evidence that this might be possible. A whole new field has emerged in the past ten years, known as psychoneuroimmunology, or PNI, beautifully described for the layperson in the book The Healer Within by Dr. Steven Locke of the harvard Medical School, and Douglas Colligan. Simply put, studies in this new field are showing tht our body's many exquisite cellular and molecular defense mechanisms against infection and disease, known collectively as the immune system, do not operate in a vacuum to keep us healthy. As the term psychoneuroimmunology suggests, the immune system is now known to be regulated in parte at least by the nervous system, which integrates all the organ systems of the body so that we can function harmoniously as a unified organism. And of course, the nervous system makes the life of the mind possible. So there appear to be important interconnections, as yet only poorly understood, between the brain and the immune system. This means that science now has at least a plausible working model to explain how our thoughts and emotions and life experiences might, under some circumstances, influence our susceptibility or resistance to disease."

da razão e da prepotência
"A igreja da Razão, como todas as instituições do Sistema, baseia-se não na força individual, mas sim na fraqueza individual. O que realmente se exige na Igreja da Razão não é a capacidade, mas incapacidade. Assim somos considerados susceptíveis de sermos ensinados. Uma pessoa verdadeiramente capaz é sempre uma ameaça."

It's easier to do trivial things that are urgent than to do important things that are not urgent; like thinking.

Diz Jack Kerouac sobre rotinas de escrita
"I had a ritual once of lighting a candle and writing by its light and
blowing it out when I was done for the night … also kneeling and
praying before starting (I got that from a French movie about George
Frideric Handel) … but now I simply hate to write. My superstition? I’m
beginning to suspect the full moon. Also I’m hung up on the number nine
though I’m told a Piscean like myself should stick to number seven; but
I try to do nine touchdowns a day, that is, I stand on my head in the
bathroom, on a slipper, and touch the floor nine times with my toe
tips, while balanced. This is incidentally more than yoga, it’s an
athletic feat, I mean imagine calling me ‘unbalanced’ after that.
Frankly I do feel that my mind is going. So another ‘ritual’ as you
call it, is to pray to Jesus to preserve my sanity and my energy so I
can help my family: that being my paralyzed mother, and my wife, and
the ever-present kitties. Okay?"

Giftedness Should Not Be Confused With Mental Disorder
"From Psychology Today: The 3-5% of kids who are particularly gifted are also at special risk for being tagged with an inappropriate diagnosis of mental disorder."
"It is important to determine who is suffering with an observed behavioral issue – the child or those around him/her. Labels, treatments, and medications are meant to alleviate suffering in the recipients, not as a means to make those around them happy."

Let's focus on the unattainable!
"You can't buy the meaning of life. You can't buy it, you can't borrow it and you can't manufacture it. You can only discover it."

There's no one I would rather be with.

Once upon a time there was a gentleman named Winkle Porrrridgggge
"Often children high in Imaginational 'overexcitabilities' mix truth with fiction, or create their own private worlds with imaginary companions and dramatizations to escape boredom."

ABOUT (no doubt).
Five 'overexcitabilities'
"Recent functional brain magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has shown some neurological differences in brains of gifted individuals. Some have described the fMRIs as looking like a “brain on fire”, with bright red blazes of high metabolic activity bursting out all over the scan."
O resto está aqui.
“One who manifests several forms of overexcitability, sees reality in a different, stronger and more multisided manner” (Dabrowski, 1972, p. 7). Experiencing the world in this unique way carries with it great joys and sometimes great frustrations."
"People with Intellectual OE [overexcitability] frequently love theory, thinking about thinking, and moral thinking. This focus on moral thinking often translates into strong concerns about moral and ethical issues-fairness on the playground, lack of respect for children, or being concerned about “adult” issues such as the homeless, AIDS, or war. Intellectually overexcitable people are also quite independent of thought and sometimes appear critical of and impatient with others who cannot sustain their intellectual pace. Or they may be become so excited about an idea that they interrupt at inappropriate times."
