The Art of blogging

Virtual Primate posted an article on - May 31, 2010, 9:43 am
Admittedly, I'm not a good blogger... I'm simply not social enough. Perhaps if I Jazz it up, make lots of links, connect with people, and participate I could do better? I really should market my product. Its not about the content, its about the packaging. Its not about meaning its about how many ...

Painting pictures in the sand

Virtual Primate posted an article on - May 4, 2010, 10:16 am
"While strolling through her cactus garden one warm June morning, Amanda came upon an old Navajo man painting pictures in the sand. "What is the function of the artist?" Amanda demanded of the talented trespasser. "The function of the artist," the Navajo answered, "is to provide what life does not."...

Nietszche's Ghost

Virtual Primate posted an article on - Apr 22, 2010, 11:11 pm
Since pursuing studies in a new field (Library and Information studies), and while supporting students in an academic library, I have become increasingly skeptical about the quality and relevance of academic study. I find it appalling that a student that copy/pastes references and material and then ...

No words

Virtual Primate posted an article on - Jul 18, 2009, 2:59 am
And so I write words, adding to the never ceasing avalanche of typeface spelt out in an unreal landscape, so many signs signifying, so many meanings lost in translation, and yet I add them… wondering why I am moved to participate? Perhaps it’s a longing for life which is contradictorily held at ...

Are you a Cosmic Schmuck?

Virtual Primate posted an article on - Dec 9, 2008, 3:19 am
It sometimes amazes me how certain people are that their way of seeing is the right and only way. Again and again wars are fought and conflicts erupt and hardly ever do people pause and ask themselves what is actually going on. Everyone seems to suggest that they are compassionate yet it quickly f...

Is it right to eat meat?

Virtual Primate posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
While it sometimes seems natural to ask someone why they chose to be a vegetarian many would consider it strange to hear someone ask another ‘why do you choose to eat meat’? In this culture it’s generally taken to be the norm that people will eat meat unless they choose otherwise. I think this...

Revisiting faith and uncertainty

Virtual Primate posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Why do people seem to be so afraid to accept that there might not be an ultimate answer, no capital T Truth, no fundamental purpose or meaning to life? While it is comforting to believe that there is a divine plan, especially when times seem unfair and life makes no sense, believing that there must ...

Population

Virtual Primate posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Our Government still supports the policy to increase our population... I guess its an economically sound strategy based on numbers; Bigger markets are more competitive, more money can be made from them. Why worry about the standard of living or about a sustainable tomorrow... I have some reading to ...

Mediation

Virtual Primate posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
The avoidance of suffering through the suppression of those things we wish for is to capitulate to unhappiness... To wish for things so ardently that we are unhappy when they are unfulfilled is to generate unhappiness... To follow our hopes and dreams knowing that they won't all be fulfilled is to a...

Are we in the 'Age of the Feuilleton'?

Virtual Primate posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
Fragments taken from Hesse, Herman, 'The Glass bead game' "... In the course of the aforementioned Age of the Feuilleton, men came to enjoy an incredible degree of intellectual freedom, more than they could stand... We must confess that we cannot provide an unequivocal definition of those products f...

A ladder to the sky

Virtual Primate posted an article on - Dec 31, 1969, 7:00 pm
He heard it said, ‘mind your left side, what is held tight will eventually go, what is let free will hold.’ And he, as a young man, let go; he let things be as they were and built nothing, knowing a house of cards. He wandered wherever he may and came upon a field where a tall tree grew and r...
