I love this graphic by Hugh McLeod’s Gaping Void. (I used one of Hugh’s design for the blog’s business cards).
It will be funny if Hugh bcomes the self-help guru whose schtick is to advise people to ignore Gurus.
You can buy the print at Gaping Void.

Lastly, kindly forgo all civility in your discourse . . . you are, after all, anonymous.

While a Greek exit from the euro zone is a distinct possibility and the extent of the mess it will create is highly worrisome, the comments yesterday from the ex Greek PM was just stating the obvious to anyone paying attention over the past month since the election.

“Ignore everybody” is bad advice for the lazy. My advice is to:
- Listen to as many people as you have time for and selectively ignore the ones with stories based on evidence that conflict with higher-confidence evidence.

What he needs to add is a question: Why is it when kids enter most grade schools, soon, by about age 9, creativity is methodically driven out of them, and conformity is drilled in?

Sounds like the lyrics to a Tom Waits song!

I like this art. It’s very nihilistic and negative…exactly what one needs to reflect on at times before bouncing back.
