I&#8217;m not sure that&#8217;s always true but sometimes a little quiet from time to time is possibly a good thing. At least, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve been telling myself since the EnormousYes blog has become markedly less prolific of late. As its principle writer, I have been somewhat indisposed you [...]]]></description><link>http://www.enormousyes.com/2011/11/06/this-is-not-goodbye/</link> </item> <item><title>Time is a relative thing&#8230;</title> <description><![CDATA[Lately, I&#8217;ve been curious about relativity, the idea that time is not an absolute but instead is inextricably linked to our frame of reference (see website on Einstein&#8217;s Special Relativity). Psychologically speaking, if feels right. After all isn&#8217;t much of our experience of reality fundamentally based on our unique perspective? For this to be mirrored [...]]]></description><link>http://www.enormousyes.com/2011/09/18/time-relative/</link> </item> <item><title>The simple pleasures</title> <description><![CDATA[“Pleasure is the object, duty and the goal of all rational creatures.” Voltaire It&#8217;s strange the things that trigger our memory. I was watching a film set in Paris the other night and it reminded me of a conversation I had many years ago with a French lady, when I was just 17. Her philosophy [...]]]></description><link>http://www.enormousyes.com/2011/09/04/simple-pleasures/</link> </item> <item><title>In-between</title> <description><![CDATA[Summer is fading fast. The pink roses outside my house are wilting. The leaves haven&#8217;t yet changed colour but the coolness of autumn is palpable. Late summer at the edge of autumn. A time of transition; neither one thing nor another but somewhere in-between. And I must admit, I find the idea of in-between-ness a [...]]]></description><link>http://www.enormousyes.com/2011/08/19/3283/</link> </item> <item><title>Inspirational People: Musician &amp; Recording Engineer Del Palmer</title> <description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m delighted to welcome Del Palmer, musician and recording engineer as this month&#8217;s featured guest.

I was in a coffee shop in the city a few weeks back and struck up a conversation with a woman sitting next to me. Somehow, we started talking about consciousness (don&#8217;t ask me how) and she recommended Susan Blackmore&#8217;s short book on consciousness &#8216;Consciousness: A Very Short Introduction&#8216; .

If, as Newton showed, the mass and distance of an object defines it&#8217;s gravitational force, (such that the bigger the mass the greater the force, the greater the [...]]]></description><link>http://www.enormousyes.com/2011/06/08/the-pull-of-ideas/</link> </item> <item><title>Don&#8217;t mind the gap</title> <description><![CDATA[For most of us, disappointment is what happens when an anticipated outcome falls short of our expectations. We expected to get that promotion or win that commission, only to find that in the end, it didn&#8217;t materialise. So we may come to associate disappointment with unfulfilled desires. A set of mismatched expectations and outcomes, the [...]]]></description><link>http://www.enormousyes.com/2011/06/05/dont-mind-the-gap/</link> </item> </channel> </rss>
