If the mind has cunning, it has it as a consequence of appetite, the blood that lights the mind gets its sugars from the guts.

Dashboard Pandemic
Ein Artikel zur ideologischen Funktion der weitverbreiteten Pandemie-Dashboards.
Pandemic dashboards are designed with suggestive curves and colour coding. They create matters of concern and direct attention and actions in certain ways, foreclosing other paths. Pandemic dashboards hide as much as they reveal.
Risse im Bild?
So will everything go back to how it was before? It’s probable, but not inevitable.

Soll und Ist
The old Greek wisdom says that „Hermes leads the way or leads astray.“ If I suffer an accidental loss, that is Hermes the thief, and if there is an accidental gain, that is Hermes the luck-bringer. But, gain or loss, what is constant with Hermes and with Eshu is the presence of accident. Chance is hardly mysterious in such religions; what’s mysterious is that there are people who deny it exists, who have no trickster figure, and who have saddled themselves with all sorts of intractable philosophical problems because their cosmology doesn’t fit this world, the world as it is.
