random thoughts for today:
I was talking with a stereotypically geeky computer software designer, about evolution (suceeding a conversation about homing cockatoos), and he reckons that the human race was created by aliens, part of their experimentation with genetic manupulation. All the creatures on this earth, he reckons, exist as products of aliens mucking about with DNA. But then that raises the question: who created the aliens?

Another random thought:
I am reading a book called "The Revelations of Dr Modesto". I bought the book from a second hand book shop in the city, drawn to the cover, featuring a mans face, painted like a clown, with cracks in it, revealing people beneath. The book is actually a self-help book i think, for those feeling isolated. It revolves around the idea of Centralism: That in order to make yourself ultimately happy, you have to abandon all sense of self, or individuality, and become the absolute centre of the majority. Even coming down to sitting in the middle of the bus. Psychologically, i think that could actually work, for those desperately lonely. But i don't think its healthy to abandon your sense of self like that.
