car crashes – Dreamyoga

I think it fair to speculate that I have a better awareness of the potential of things, where they might go and what they might morph into, than many. I kid myself that I can see scope out of a potential. I have a big picture preference. I can envision bigger scope.

I am not an eejit nor a gobshite.

Last night I had a restless night because “the dreaming” was highly perturbed. There were multiple events running into each other mostly pertaining to people from my UK past.

After things have had a massive “car crash” what might arise out of the debris, the ashes, is difficult to anticipate. “Car crashes” can be like a dose of salts, a good clean out. The reboot may not be successful; the system may not have a good recovery point. The dreaded blue or black screen of death may persist for a long time until a way forward is found. Things grind to a halt in the car crash.

Of late something weird has been going on with my computer and network. Google has been complaining and asking me for Captchas which suggests that something is off and perhaps someone is playing “silly buggers” remotely.

I am aware that the contents of this blog have the possibility to “explode”. There are some/few to whom what is here may be of more than a little interest. I would put the likelihood as low but the potential impact of a wide scale happenstance as high. With publicity things could easily get out of hand. There are perhaps some who would not want this, others who might.

It has a very low probability – high impact scaling in my mind. It is potentially big but it won’t happen.

On one level what I am saying as an ex-scientist is that I have “evidence” for prior incarnations reaching back thousands of years. Were I still a gainfully employed practicing scientist at a top university, such a claim would be more “interesting”. As it is I am just another weird eccentric British expat living in rural France. Maybe I have lost the plot entirely? This is an easy thing to suggest in PR terms.

Dr Whacko McNutjob…

It is an easy sell. One many would buy.

The potential for all this to change both suddenly and to a large degree exists. Potential may never manifest.

The phenomena of last night and to an extent still this morning suggest that a large scale perturbation in the web of life is ongoing…The jungle drums are sounding…

Something is up…

I am unclear as to any easy mechanism for it to involve me directly and/or in person.

I am not sure what excuse or justification anyone could make to me in order to explain {con}. I cannot see what might be cobbled together which would offer credibility. An open and honest approach is very unlikely because that is against normal modus operandi and the desire for control. People who like cunning plans do not understand honesty nor approaching with open hands and open hearts. It is alien to them.

Before sleeping last night I revisited the idea of a “Quantum Telepathy” patent application. If I am going to write something that might be more fun than a novel, though one could morph into the other.

I wonder if Whacko McNutjob would be an acceptable name for deed poll…

“If you’re a permanent resident overseas, you cannot change your name by deed poll.”

I would have to move back to the UK to do this…

Maybe it is all in my imagination and there is no hoo-ha going on…

It is common these days to hype, over egg , big up , exaggerate and overstate. This is a kind of infection which is sourced in the USA. One of the problems I had way back was that in writing grant proposals one had to overstate and oversell, stretch the limits of possible commercial applicability. It went against the academic notion of considered writing and into blagging so that the politicians could be sated with their need to blag the fuck out of everything. For example claiming that the UK might, in fantasy land, become a “Science Superpower”. A sound byte is not reality it is an advertiser’s tag line.

Although I can pitch and sell, to an extent, it is not my default. There is a time and a place.

About nine years ago I attended an “entrepreneurs” event in the home counties. I was given a chit saying that the value of said event was £3,000 and was not taxable. There were about fifty people there seeking help with preparing a business plan / pitch. The majority of whom were fantasists prone to over stating and bullshitting. There were so many “apps” being hyped that I got bored.

I offered to speak. Having been part of a big successful fund raise. The offer was not taken up. I was not one of the “gang”. Their loss not mine. I was probably the only person in the room who had raised millions on the back of a business plan I wrote. They wanted to teach me how.

The trouble is that if you are prone to bullshitting and over hyping you may imagine that everyone else is too!! This is not a bad working hypothesis but it is not universally applicable.

As a rule of thumb I am not obsessed with the sound of my own voice and do not love to be the centre of attention spouting forth endlessly from my soap box. I’ll speculate that I will research, think, research some more, think some more, and prepare to a greater extent than most.

My personal assessment is that I am not a gobshite prone to gobbing off.

If someone wants to look into things I will encourage them to see if they can add to what I have already found out.

My own self assessment is that I am not prone to bullshitting. I will not wing it in a pitch. I will be well prepared.

In the dream before the notion of car crash is presented. One can see in the Dragon’s Den TV programme that many pitches are car crashes. They are ill-prepared despite the fact of show back catalogue. Some try to bullshit which goes wrong. Some people have lives which lurch wildly from crisis to crisis. Their whole life is a car crash. We could sat Katie Price is an example of an ongoing car crash.

If you bullshit you are prone to car crash.

If you are well researched and prepared, less so.

Many “great ideas” and cunning plans result in car crashes, sometimes severe and extensive motorway pile ups.

You can make your mind up as to how likely I am to bullshit.

Am I more likely to bullshit than you?
