Is it better to be a coward or die a hero?

Should you think about your duty, or about the consequences of your actions? Or should you concentrate on becoming a good person?

I didn't buy into what you said Bill and especially the way you presented it.

Bill wrote:
I work, almost constantly, throughout the day to move to the symbolic, right-side brain thinking.
This was odd. " I WORK......"

Britain’s Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks talking on BBC Radio 4 earlier this year. “What made Europe happen and made it so creative,” he explained, “is that Christianity was a right-brain religion … translated into a left-brain language [Greek]. So for many centuries you had this view that science and religion are essentially part of the same thing.” As well as having metaphorical appeal, the seductive idea of the right brain and its untapped creative potential also has a long history of being targeted by self-help gurus peddling pseudo-psychology, which I think you eluded to some time back in regards to yourself.

Today, the latest version of the The Faces iMake-Right Brain Creativity app for the Ipad, for example, boasts that it is “an extraordinary tool for developing right brain creative capabilities”.

Bill, is this what you are up to?

Yes. I don't have an iPad but yes I have developed & continue to create exercises that move me more to right brain experience.

I work to be self-conscious.

Try real work like running high speed printing machines that screem like 747 turbines 24/7
Years i spent [well paid years tho]
Driving these machines to edge of destruction.. the bosses loved me.
They spat out magazines and near anything at one every second 3600 times a minute.
Im especially good with collation . pack discrimination and binding. How f**king wonderfull it was.. lol
I made more in year than surgeon general. mR machne
yet while the bitch was screaming i read books..
A new boss guy once said .. why are you reading a book.. get back to work.. he immediately was called to managers office.. never saw him again.:)

The managers were bastards .YOU HAD TO BEAT TRIPLE PAY ON SUNDAYS OUT OF THEM.. but they were not stupid.

It all seems rather like "going against the grain, or who you really are, if you have to work it.

:roll: There are so many reasons for what made Europe so creative, not least the questioning of religious authority.

Thats the iPlod mob for you, swallow any old guff and Apple will be happy to charge you for it.

People want to be creative? Read De Bono.
