This and(at least)the next 6 episodes are all about ego, consciousness, unconsciousness, the self, the mind, the brain, instinct, gut feeling, communication, language, the difference between knowing and getting something, facts, art, religion, science, objectivity, subjectivity, your conscience, feelings, articulated speech and generally how our minds, distinct from our brains, are split.In this episode I strive to go deep, but first I have to wade through the shallows.Buckle up bitches!

Today I get into the whole, chairman of the UK arm of KPMG resigning 'thing'.My fear here is that if we make a habit of making a sacrificial lamb of our leaders for the offence of "offending people" what we will be left with in the pool of 'leaders' will be a cabal of 'people pleasers', which to me at least is the exact opposite of leadership.Thoughts, opinions and recommendations to [email protected]

I've long been a strident believer in the separation of church and state. However, in recent years I'm less sure of this and I've begun leaning towards something more inclusive. To be clear; I see NO PLACE for "organised religion" within a million miles of governance. Ever. That being said, there's something to the idea that governments generally, are too ego-centric and that they desperatley lack anything that remotely resembles something that could be considered to have a 'soul' or 'conscience'.As always you'll reach me at [email protected]

Another fuckin' SEASON??? ALREADY???You betcha!The idea behind this one is that whenever I have something in my head that I need to flesh out or just 'get out' I do a 10-15 minute solo.But, what about when I've just a thought that's only a couple of minutes long...then what happens? Season 4, that's what happens!This one is essentially me just explaining the above, I'm also joined by my dogs and of course, my chimney sweep.Thanks again to all my patreon supporting motherfuckers! Yoy guys are the best!
