Dr Russell Barkley | ADHD: Intention Deficit Disorder

"It means that future directed behaviour is intentional behaviour, which means A.D.D. is actually I.D.D. Intention Deficit Disorder: 'I don't seem to be able to accomplish most of the things I intended to do!' You can call that a short attention span but I think Intention Deficit Disorder captures it much better.

"Now, the frontal lobes... the executive system is where you take what you know, and you apply it in your daily life. It is not where you know something, it's where you use what you know: the back part of the brain acquires knowledge; the front part of the brain puts it in play. ADHD has separated these two like a meat cleaver.

"So, it doesn't really matter what you know; you can't use it as effectively as other people can. ADHD is a performance disorder—you can't perform the things you know how to do. It is not a knowledge disorder! Most people with ADHD know about as much as anybody else from their neighbourhood with their education and that school at that age… but they can't use it! Not to anywhere near the degree of effectiveness of others.

"So, people with ADHD know what to do but they can't do what they know!"

Why Fight? — Alan Watts

As UK politicians fawn over Zelenskyy and clamour for a chance at culling the poor, I recalled this talk by Alan Watts on the true nature of war, asking the fundamental question: why do we fight?

You need nothing to be happy, but you need something to be sad.

““SIOUX URCHINS, Boy and Girl,” was L.A. Huffman’s title for the 1879-80 photo. The studio portrait of two young children was among the first photographs taken by Huffman after arriving at Fort Keogh in Eastern Montana. The boy had a ring in each ear. The young girl wore a hair-pipe or dentalium shell choker. Her leggings and moccasins had extensive bead or quill work. Northern Cheyenne and Sioux were both at Fort Keogh at the time, and apparel may have been traded. The photo used the old collodion wet-plates, and a clear photograph required no movement for some seconds. L.A. Huffman served as a Custer County commissioner, and in 1893 was elected to the Montana House of Representatives. Pres. Theodore Roosevelt knew Huffman and displayed six large Huffman prints in the White House. Huffman was buried in Miles City, Montana.”

If 22 bushels (1,300 pounds) of rice and 22 bushels of winter grain are harvested from a quarter acre field, then the field will support five to ten people each investing an average of less than one hour of labour per day. But if the field were turned over to pasturage, or if the grain were fed to cattle, only one person could be supported per quarter acre. Meat becomes a luxury food when its production requires land which could provide food directly for human consumption. This has been shown clearly and definitely. Each person should ponder seriously how much hardship he is causing by indulging in food so expensively produced.

Peace does not mean the absence of war, peace means the presence of harmony, love, satisfaction and oneness. Peace means a flood of love in the world family.

Celtic Gold Phalera with Cernunnos, 1st Century  BC

Cernunnos is the conventional name given in Celtic studies to depictions of the “horned god” of Celtic polytheism. The name itself is only attested once, on the 1st-century Pillar of the Boatmen, but depictions of a horned or antlered figure, often seated cross-legged and often associated with animals and holding or wearing torcs, are known from other instances.

Nothing is known about the god from literary sources, and details about his name, his cult or his significance in Celtic religion are unknown. Speculative interpretations identify him as a god of nature or fertility.

Eva Kosmos - Away from the Herd

You said, " They’re harmless dreamers and they’re loved by the people. "

" What, " I asked you, " is harmless about a dreamer, and what, ' I asked you, " is harmless about the love of the people?

" Revolution only needs good dreamers who remember their dreams. ”
