Just my various thoughts on my main areas of interest: mind, brain functions, consciousness, technology, travel, food, hamburgers, wine, champagne, high-end hotels, frequent flyer programs, credit card programs, cheap philosophy (the kind that you would not spend money to read) etc...
It's all written in English by a French culture shifter living in France.
This blog also features hamburger photography, food porn & absurdity. It may be offensive to intellectuals & aesthetes.
I am proud to say that in tonight's burger challenge, man (modestly embodied by myself) was victorious!
I did enjoy eating these two burgers.
You gotta love and behold the bacon on the left side which looks like it is defying gravity by litterally floating over the burger. That beautifully fried piece of bacon looks like it is about to embark on a journey to the unknown and in the process defying the very laws of physics that made it a reality.
One of the worst feelings that one can experience is grief. Mourning the loss of a loved one or of an ability is a painful process that, unfortunately, most human beings have to go through at one point or another in their life.
An easy way to avoid this is to become a geek and heavily involve yourself in all matters related to computers, technologies and the Internet in general. By looking forward to the next gadget release, you will lose touch with reality, become oblivious to your surroundings and effectively early-adopt the next gizmo on the very first day it becomes available. You will then throw away the tool it replaced without feeling the least bit of sadness. This whole process will enable you to become Superhuman and never have to experience grief ever again for your entire life will only be about gadgets.
Don't thank me for this awesome tip. It is provided as a courtesy of my benevolent personality. And remember that donating money to this blog is heavily discouraged and not welcome at all. In fact, if you try send me money, I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger (specially if you attempt to poison and destroy my brothers).
Note: This tip does not apply to the mourning of the Wicked since "No one mourns the Wicked".
Absurdismrefers to the conflict between the human tendency to seek inherent meaning in life and the human inability to find any. I find that true humor lies in the Absurd, at least it is the kind of humor that touches me and lifts me to laughter paradise. I find nothing more exhilarating than The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything. Who could have constructed a more articulate and elaborate answer than 42 ? What better way to answer the most important philosophical question than to transport it to a whole different plane of understanding and transcend its answer by expressing it in mathematical language? In a similar way, evil forces and the Anti-Christ are also symbolized in western religions by a number (666) for the lack of possible depiction of such a terrifying entity in traditional language.
Psychotic patients often have a singular relationship with language and some feel more comfortable solving mathematical equations than answering simple questions in plain English.
In conclusion, I believe that the true essence of mankind will only find its Xanadu when, in a gravity defying moment, rappers from all over the world unite and shout together : "Yo, 9.81" instead of "Yo, G."
