No Mind Is an Island: February 2016

http://nomindisanisland.blogspot.com/2016_02_01_archive.html

Feb 10, 2016. Weird Brazil: New Holland. Brazil was, historically, a Portuguese colony. It has, since its independence especially, formed its own identity (at the cost of the native identity, of course), but it's still widely seen as an offspring of Portugal. This, of course, leaves the native cultures and histories on the sidelines, but there have also been some other, more subtle influences after the arrival of the Portuguese. Largest in the country. There's that ambiguous 'virtue'. That it may shine o...

http://nomindisanisland.blogspot.com/2012/10/aquarius-to-leo-beauty-and-inner-beast.html

Today we are going to take a look at the 11-to-5. Portion of the journey (although it only goes up to 12, we have to see it as more of a three-dimensional spiral than a two-dimensional circle) as embodied in Disney's greatest movie*, Beauty and the Beast. Than its predecessor. Click here. B&B describes the archetypal journey ...

No Mind Is an Island: The Problem with the Future

http://nomindisanisland.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-problem-with-future.html

Mar 27, 2015. The Problem with the Future. Today on Cracked, we find an article. Discussing the Mars One project, arguing that the whole thing is, in the long run, good for us. The author makes some fair points, such as the distinction between a failed venture and an actual scam. Unfortunately, she completely misses the most important way in which Mars One can teach us a few things about ourselves: our unhealthy relationship with the future. Hint: that's actually a mirror. Waiting for the iPhone. First o...

No Mind Is an Island: January 2014

http://nomindisanisland.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html

Jan 26, 2014. Ender's Game: the Return of the Repressed. The appeal of science fiction, as opposed to contemporary or historical fiction, is that it offers the reader a objective 'space'. Between himself and the narrative. That is to say, setting a story in the future or in an alternate reality frees us from the biases of our 'collective present' or 'collective past'. So, for instance, if the raw story of Ender's Game. For those who don't know the story, here is a quick synopsis (very spoilery, but about...

Phoenix Aquua : Not In That Way

http://phoenixaquua.blogspot.com/2014/07/not-in-that-way.html

Thursday, July 31, 2014. Not In That Way. Hate to say I love you. When it's so hard for me. And I hate to say I want you. When you make it so clear. You don't want me. I'd never ask you cause deep down. I'm certain I know what you'd say. You'd say I'm sorry believe me. I love you but not in that way. And I hate to say I need you. I'm such a fool. When you're not there. I find myself singing the blues. Can't face the truth. You will never know that feeling. You will never see through these eyes. Remains a...
