@m_ashcroft introducing me to Alexander technique a decade ago back in January has also had a very positive impact although somewhat interrupted due to the difficulty of in person classes what I've been able to do on my own and with reading has still been very usefulShow this thread -

54. I feel like I understand how people work far far better than I used to. People are still confusing but now they're confusing because people are complicated rather than because I don't understand them.

56. Every now and then I remember that the game "Socrates Jones: Pro Philosopher" exists and smile about it. http://socratesjones.com/ (I've played it through two or three times) I just learned that its makers also made Elsinore which is also a very good game.

66. I also like this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmMp0OKHgTA … It's not nearly as good, but it does make me pleasantly nostalgic for my church. I stopped going for a variety of reasons (it wasn't quite working for me), but there are things about it I miss a bit.

67. I mostly don't care about the olympics, but I really like a lot of the London opening ceremony, and am a huge fan of the drum sequence from it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uoEuI59L9s8 … (previous version of this tweet had the actual ceremony video, but that has some annoying features)
