Changing @titudes
target : Quality of Live
assets : PsYtoBe beyond Delta
status : running
achievements: An utterly different approach to increase Quality of Live is the Delta Vista of the Maslow's Pyramid Hierarchy of Needs. For Resting Single Seniors like me this model might give Some Structure to Existence. In time we will throw bottoms up & tear down the roof reversing the hierarchy in favour of starving artists, urban nomads, single mothers, victims of credit crisis and others with a level fixation
Shelter
Just muddle on
Transcendence
Self-Actualization, Esteem- , Social-, Safety- & Physiological Needs, I am Blue & like Blues but allas, still need some Sex & Sleep. In case you have some doubts about the existance or workability of mentioned hierarchy, here is a side track without the pyramid & my own Lax Flegmatic Interpretation, No Needs @ all but Attitudes:
Maybe a coached reboot by Neuro Linqustic Programming is a good idea for a temp suspension of arms & reversing Survival & Death, poem bout attitudes: Max Ehrmann's Desiderata
Mnemonic 1:
Reminders in Verse, Alliteration regarding psychology.
Links, if any, are Randomly Robbed from Cyber Space
BonusQuestion: which item effects existance most?
No Contest this time, I'll solve the Quest myself,
no deadline, starting with
- like-ing to have notion of things I dis-like &
- being happy experiencing sadness.
Mnemonic 2: In the beginning there was eloquence ['elfkwfns]
eloquentie, gave van het woord, Yvonne's Tip: The dulcet-acid Trip
Constantinos Cavafis' Ithaka
Mnemonic 3: Naivety Yvonne stated the World Infantilises by Picture Language. Is this a Pro or a Con? Have to study Jean Piaget once again on that one, I envy infants for their unrestrained ability to absorb endless streams of information. Perception of adults is alas obstructed by necessary but oppressive filters. Karl Marx' Verelendungs Theory holds me back from shouting “Let's get Infantile“ but pulling down some barriers can't do harm IMHO.
Mnemonic 4: Wim S.(16y, Gymnasium) helped me recollect some lost JigSaw pieces, cannot thank him enough, talking about Wittgenstein's Logic Tractatus
This is the general form of proposition.
* everything that happens will happen today (D. Byrne, 2008)
Mnemonic 4 addendum A :
Recall the motto of WeBlog A2B, Logic.. A. Einstein's
Logic will get you from A to B, Imagination* will take you Anywhere?
here is some more:
Einstein on Physical Concepts
From The Evolution of Physics, Albert Einstein, Leopold Infeld, Simon & Schuster (1938) page 31
Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, uniquely determined by the external world. In our endeavor to understand reality we are somewhat like a man trying to understand the mechanism of a closed watch. He sees the face and the moving hands, even hears its ticking, but has has no way of opening the case. If he is ingenious he may form some picture of a mechanism which could be responsible for all things he observes, but he may never be quite sure his picture is the only one which could explain his observations. He will never be able to compare his picture with the real mechanism and he cannot even imagine the possibility of the meaning of such a comparison. But he certainly believes that, as his knowledge increases, his picture of reality will explain a wider and wider range of his sensuous impressions. He may even believe in the existence of the ideal limit of knowledge and that it is approached by the human mind. He may call this ideal limit the objective truth.
Einstein's sentiments here are close to that of Buddha, i.e.:
All such notions as causation, succession, atoms, primary elements...are all figments of the imagination and manifestations of the mind.
Mnemonic 5*: Surplus Imagination, Pro or Con? It might get you to far.....
Mnemonic 6: John Maynard Keynes' Formula applicable in CyberSpace?
Mnemonic 7: Jack Wallage's Significant RelationShips (Betekenisvolle Betrekkingen) are rarely based on What You Give=What You Get, mutual Profit & pursuit of gain, but often on unilateral interest, love & altruism which, maybe, eventually creates a bond.
Aphrodisiac Research
target : Quality of Live
assets : Global Space
status : Restart
achievements: Non So Far. Fascinated by aphrodic effects of fragrances like musk and lily-of-the-valley, as described in Patrick Suskind’s dissertation The Perfume, and food like Turkish Delight, Oysters and Chocolate* in summer 2008 a project was started Research Aphrodic Mechanisms of Raspberries in general & specificly on Trolls . This project was abrubtly halted due to negative results and even contrastive effects on as well guinea pigs as researchers. Recently some new aspects came up. On the West Frisian island Texel a tribe of Sommels was (re)discovered by Dimitri D, a distant nephew of Indiana Jones. Sommels are closely related to the Gnome- and Norwegian Troll-tribes. These tribes mainly live on small fruits like blackberries, cranberries, rose hips and last but not least raspberries. Their Joie de Vivre, Vivid(E/D viv·id ['vivJd], Levendig) Love Life and Fertility are proverbial. In the same period the Rotterdam market was flooded with Tibetan Goji Berries. Several allochthon vendors spread Goji Berry Flyers(in dutch) to emphasize the health, vitality and aphrodic benefit effects of the berries. Moreover the Goji Berry is mysterious delicious in Goji Berry Tea, Ice Cream, Crêpes, as a an in between snack and so on and so forth. In short, the Project is back on its feet again wih an extended approach!
* In an interview Managing Director Ingrid Aarts of Confectionery Studio Xocolat(Tilburg, the Netherlands) estimated a man of 80kg has to take about 40kg of 80% cocoa chocolate to gain aphrodic effects. Acquisition considerations might be possible, but we assume she mixed up grammes and kilos. Later on we were informed she was not refering to aphrodic effects att all, but to erroneously supposed narcotic effects of chocolate. More about this matter, from Wageningen University, at http://www.food-info.net/nl/national/ww-chocolade.htm

achievements: Looking 4 balanced occupation @ Architect or DeSING office, lately did an almost indecent proposal to an in my residence World-Famous architecture exposition centre, demanded salary €0.00, surprise they did not react eagerly by return of mail grin, oops while typing received a confirmation letter......wow exciting, meeting is planned nov.10th.
Meeting was nice & interesting, alas no continuation due to a sudden reorganisation
Jan.2009
"Centrum Bezielen"(Inspirit) starts a working day with an hour Yoga, voluntary workers maintain the Healing Herbs Garden, so thats what I am going to do! No bricks, steel & reinforced concrete anymore but Healing Herbs! Think this can make me even more happy

achievements: As BuilDINGS of Reinforced Concrete Bricks Glass & Steel in UrbanSpace seem to much an effort at the moment tranferred attention to flex materials Bits & Bytes in CyberSpace. With Giovanni Piranesi's Carceri Ever Expanding Infinity in Captive Penalisation in mind & almost sure Piranesi would have prefered to live in Cyberspace instead of 16th Century Venice I try to sculpture my Imaginations & Dreams right here. Certainty that the Internet CyberSpace can & will collapse as easily as a building or a monetary system adds an extra perspective to it. Could John Maynard Keynes' Law be applicable too? “Lost in CyberSpace” is a soothing substitute for, eh for what I don't know yet grin, anyhow it seems nice to be amid Pigs in CyberSpace.... especially if I can take my motorcycle with me.
