latest issue of The Idler magazine.
read the fantastic book ” how to be idle” by tom hodgkinson, speaking out against the frenetic pace of modern life.
Lao Tzu would have been pleased.

went through the site, it is alright, i give you passing marks. but the thing is you are low on perspective, you stand in the madding crowd, what about your own personality, beliefs i mean, do you have any or are you content only with imbibing and then spewing out whatever is in the public domain.
it is a sad state of world, where people stop thinking for themselves. thanks.
come on buddy - all these things are my thoughts. duh. are you suggesting that if spoke more on a self-centred perspective i.e. rattle on about myself - give you a glimpse of the person behind the words - then somehow i would be thinking for myself more?
i’m aware that’s a common perception.
besides i would hate to ‘impose’ my beliefs on people in a top-down fashion - that’s precisely the sort of thing i see as the problem. smacks of dogma - you know what i mean?
the comment about ‘passing marks’ - ah what an obsession- ( which i don’t share by the way) its so competitive - its okay you can relax, you’re out of school now.
i think you need to think more about slowing down, perhaps you can look at it as ‘de-westernizing’ yourself - ( since you like to see things in such a light )
