I dived into this painting session thinking I’d work on his eyes but ended up doing only a small amount of work on the eyes and then making shadows darker on the face and when I put my paintbrush down it looked the same as when I had begun. So there’s more to do.

Like thinking of a new way of digging a hole. With this robot thing robot head that eats rock and there’s hundreds of them on this mechanism and everything swallowed goes for processing and the hole is dug by lowering this giant contraption slowly downwards.

I got Covid and so I’m no longer a Novid and my dreams to become the only human being ever to not get Covid have been squashed. Add it to the list, Jeeves.

So I was wondering if “why” is a creation of biological evolution as something to keep us going. Like, we’re always wondering why. Why this, why that, why me? And maybe the actual answer to the big “why” is too much for us to comprehend anyway so I guess we’re riding this why-rollercoaster now.

The realisation that a pacifist can use some knowledge of combat to resolve conflicts by altering variables so an attacker has their momentum transferred into a downward spiral and the next thing they know is they’re lying unhurt on the ground next to a cup of tea. Aikido tea! 🧵

I find it interesting how some things use belief to guide us. And we all want to do the right thing, the good thing, so we look for an example what’s right and what’s the rightest and what’s even righterer than that… 🧵

I'm beginning to think our brains forget things on purpose. You know, just to keep us on our toes, just to make sure we keep using it. And the conscious brain says why? Why couldn't you just remember it in the first place? 🧵
