Very simply, emotive learning is something that happens in the subconscious; it is the function that converts conscious, real-world, three-dimensional experience into feelings. An easy example: From the day a baby […]

There’s nothing left to say about the world. It is on a roll that cannot be deterred. Mariner is reminded of the old song “Ghost Riders in the Sky”, a Frankie Lane hit. Humans have joined the chase for the Devil […]

Not over! Not goodbye! We need every human voice (and blog) to speak out on behalf of the human experience vs. machines, technology, corporations and autocrats. Write on, Mariner!

skipper commented on the post, Pakistan 2 years ago
I was surprised, too, Robert. The chart showed all the nations in the region and the stats showed Sudan second. However, I noticed one column of the chart showed GDP as a population statistic – Sudan was at the bottom; also, in an associated chart it was listed as South Sudan. Source was Wikipedia.

skipper commented on the post, The Industrial Revolution is personal 2 years ago
You make a good point, Robert, in that the I.R. has given us big, pithy chunks of abstract time and talents far beyond the capabilities of our root-grubbing fingers. Life for humans is easier today but perhaps not for 16,000 extinct species or a warming Earth.

A few days ago, mariner was about to peel potatoes when he discovered his potato peelers were in the dish washer which was running a two-hour cycle. He had to use a paring knife. Wow! Is this a lost art! He must […]
