The dirty business of NDE

Another one of many, sob...


Comes a time where enough is enough. You can believe whatever you want, you cannot make me believe for something up there or something else than your body exhaustion building up and up and up during a Near Death Experience.

It’s common discussion in our modern era to put belief on things we might not understand, on things that perhaps does not need to be understood and hence creating a whole illusion and tale dressed in the appearance of the easily digested “truth”. And F*** 153 000 000 results on Google. Gosh.

As for me, stayed several weeks in this state. I don’t remember a light, a music, a truth coming to me, I remember the weight I’ve lost and the heavy exhaustion I felt after. ‘cause well, I wasn’t sleeping, I just wasn’t awake during all this time.

The only vivid memories of it came around the last week before my wake-up call. For me, nothing to do with another force, just my perceptions that started to focus right. I remember a wall colored as yellow canari, a deep feeling of being sea-sick. Hence my brain made the link, and made me think I was in a submarine on the Italian coast during the second world war, and I had to be treated in the awful, but needed, bubble, same closed bubble as created by an hospital.

Yet, “Fully awake”, I did have straight the sense to get peace on my mind and understand it wasn’t my fault to have entered this dark night, and most of all it didn’t involved anybody else.

It was all I needed. Yet, after relatives and friends treat me differently while I seeked normality and fair judgement of my abilities, many times I have been directed to psychologist, psychiatrist and so on. But Why? Why should I have to understand? Could I just ignore and go. And most of all, how can an unknown person, as doctor as he/she can be, can make the difference between th sh*t that happens before and after. so.

'cause at the end, it wasn’t that bad.

Yet, when it happens again, not so bad, but well, waiting at a red light and being bumped hardly behind from a german driver where i would take easily generalities, it is still not a nice feeling and too vivid in my life to be digested socially.

Yet, even more standing, 'ause Believe, but most of all, Live

Because what I got from all that? Between living and dying, there is a whole extatic dimension. Some calls it adrenalin, some calls it insane, some life:

Small compendium in Latinglish

Reactions I saw browsing over Facebook (it happens from time to time), thoughts I find interesting, because kind of what i would feel as well if I had to put it into words:

"Thoughts of the day - are you a secret feminist hell bent on putting me down? I mean seriously, I have enough on my plate but the last thing I want to hear is that the root of all evil comes from my gender when I didn't even get a choice in the matter. My suggestion is that you take your 30-40 age group, mobilise the masses, tick the box that you did something and move on. And please for the sake of all that is good and holy, stop reminding me - I am on your side buddy." 

""If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing." Margaret Thatcher ~ RIP to the greatest female leader of our time"

"From facts and feelings to interpretations and judgements, the line is thin"

-And then, in reaction to a very interesting interview I heard on Europe 1 with Patrick Sebastien: Thursday the 11th of April 2013 - http://www.europe1.fr/MediaCenter/Emissions/Des-clics-et-des-claques/ (Gosh surprizes are all around the corners, thanks for it) and aside the whole more or less interesting discussion, coming back to this one Why am I using a pseudonym? 

Quite oddly to not be anonymous on the net. My first and last name are very common and returning many results on the net, My pseudonym only me. 

Still, one point with no value aside, made me laugh to hear the journalist on the radio telling the audience you cannot be anonymous with a pseudonym on internet in front of the law, you've got the IP address. Well, yes, yet I am not the only one using my computer, and secondly ask Facebook on this very topic, believe you might change your view. And I am not going to speak about the universe of VPN and so on. I'd rather stand on my simple values of mine.



And the POV reading it was well it s about competitivity, yes, but for the in ustry, didn't hear that on the radio when the debate was on, must have been inclusive to the speech, yet... 

Well would be interesting to have one report going further, looking on how we can further foster on france's educationnal strength (the report looks at it, yes, but on an industry perspective, mainly looking on implementing stuff Germany is doing for long). So rather than copying, learning and building on differences... you know this useful thing that attracts

-And some other drops of thoughts i drew at the time:

"Liberty does not stand with a hidden face" - in reaction to some anonymous mob I walked by at the time: http://sco.lt/50B6lF

"Why these musicians use a mask" ( Daft Punk, Gorrillaz, ...) http://sco.lt/7VbOLp

Especially in a world of high communication overdose.


And well to come back to my old odd country, wondering why after the how, next part of the compendium on french labor market in French:

"Le marché français de l'emploi est comme un tour de France cycliste. A qui sera le plus dopé par les aides. Les aides ne remplacent pas l'effort."

Pour surmonter la crise. Pas besoin d'un nouveau rapport au nom bien monté en épingle. Gallois, Lescure, nommer celui que vous voulez.

Bah oui, on n'y est pas encore totalement immergé, seules, les nombreuses, je vous le concède, couches les plus démunies la ressentent de plein fouet, et la crise n'est pas encore à son apogée en France. Regardez l'Espagne, regardez l’Italie, regardez la Grèce.

Les plus démunis prennent grave, et que compte faire votre gouvernement, un peu plus désaxer un système déjà super régulé en instaurant d'autres aides à l'emploi pour aider la toupie à aller plus droit. Euh, juste une remarque, une toupie a besoin d’un effort initial.

Alors je viens là de loin niveau début de billet. Je repense à ces suicides chez Orange, placés sous la culpabilité du coupable idéal par les médias et les discours du bout de la rue: les managers et un système capitaliste qui demande trop. Un peu trop simple pour être vrai.
Donc oui, réduisez toutes ces aides, mettez les impots quand les revenus sont payés, pas un an après, tout cela brise la flexibilité du marché de l'emploi. Cette complaisance dans le système nous met dans le refus du risque, risque qui est source de croissance si on sait s'y prendre, et si on n'en a pas peur.

J'ai travaillé en France, j'ai aussi travaillé ailleurs, et je pense que le climat général français est une des causes aussi. Ce qui m'a surpris dans mes expériences, ce climat de défiance permanent. Au lieu de faire confiance aux forces du travail, on doute et on préfère être sur. Prenez exemple, tiens on vous dit quelque chose, vous irez vérifier, vous justifierez ou infirmerez ce choix car au final dans toutes les couches de l’entreprise ici, justifier permet de contrôler et d’être sûr du chemin pris. Eh grosse nouvelle, on a droit aux erreurs. C’est cela la tolérance.

Alors après, moi, une carrière en Angleterre, des diplômes trop d’ailleurs, il faut bien s’occuper, mais dont peu en France, juste un d'ingé très préparés ici en France, et ben devinez mon retour sur expérience, je fais face à une certaine condescendance des recruteurs français qui ne prennent pas la valeur des diplômes étrangers s'ils ne sont pas français.

Donc, non la conclusion serait trop directe pour nos petits yeux, je la garde pour moi.

Intelligence And Myopia - NY times

Ok, so was doing another test of my english fluency and numerical skills, and, during it, fell on a short article to review linking short sightness (myopia) and intelligence.

Well see a link from 1988 from the NY times, apart from that, I do have hypermetropia (so the contrary of myopia, having lazy eyes, or lenses, or cristallin, have to focus my attention further if of interest, kind of describing me anyway), reading a lot (which from other articles found on google develops myopia), and don 't feel less.

Again the difference between the natural intelligence coming from within, and the one coming from educations,  here and so, yes, not confusing intelligence and education, simply the whole, and the desire to go further.

I have what I have and do the best with it. Calm and silence are my others keys I do choose as it is extremely relaxing not to get involved in every single things happening in our world.

Study Links Intelligence And Myopia - New York Times:

And reminding me of another post on this very blog on myopia, the marketing myopia. so kind of a philosophy to keep going. http://souslesportes.blogspot.fr/2011/10/marketing-myopia.html

“een klap van de molen krijgen” (ou : quand il vaut mieux éviter de se prendre un coup de moulin)

See on Scoop.it - Contemporary fiction

Il n’y a rien de mieux que les expressions idiomatiques pour refléter le quotidien ou l’histoire, voire – osons le mot ! – l’âme d’un peuple.

Au détour de google, j’apprends ainsi que l’expression « avoir une araignée dans le plafond » serait née au XIXème siècle, dans le milieu des prostituées parisiennes, pour qui l’araignée était un symbole de délabrement, certes discret, mais certain, et que, par conséquent, avoir une araignée dans le plafond (du crâne) signifiait assurément le délabrement de la raison.

Comme la folie est la chose la mieux partagée du monde, et fait même l’objet d’un célèbre traité d’un humaniste batave bien connu, toute langue porte en elle des expressions visant à la désigner – et l’idiome néerlandais, bien sûr, ne déroge pas à cette règle.
