Column | Niet de schrijver maar de lezer is kwetsbaar
Moed is het eerste vereiste voor de schrijver, zeggen de schrijvers. Voor iedere zin moet je je opnieuw zelfvertrouwen aanpraten. Want, o, de ontoereikendheid van de taal en, ach, het besef nooit volledig te worden begrepen.

Can Psychedelics Help Make Dying Easier?
Can Psychedelics Help Make Dying Easier?
A landmark study, published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, in 2006 — shows psilocybin holds promise for end-of-life distress in cancer patients.
after two or three psilocybin sessions, a majority of participants had significant and positive changes in their mood, while 33 percent rated the experience as the most spiritually significant experience of their life, comparable to the birth of a first child or the death of a parent.

Gerard Reve heeft me leren leven
Gerard Reve heeft me leren leven
Gerard Reve (is) op zijn best wanneer hij zich te midden van alle twijfel die zich uit in spot op een reële manier tot de wereld verhoudt. Alsof je nooit iets serieus neemt. Terwijl je alles serieus neemt. Maar je probeert alles, de hele ellende, wel tot hanteerbare, menselijke proporties terug te brengen.

Nick Kyrgios: Good for the game or a menace to tennis? | The Times
A menace to the unsufferable dicks that run the various self serving franchises which constitute the corrupt 'world of tennis'. But a sublime tennis player, I would say. I hope he goes all the way but he will probably self-destruct at some point, as he always does. archived 3 Jul 2022

The largest route, Watling Street, ran from the ports of Kent to Viroconium, now on the site of Wroxeter in Shropshire. At the time, it was the fourth largest Roman city in Britain but it fell into decline. Today Wroxeter is a pretty village with a few hundred people in it. archived 29 Jun 2022

Met geruststellen zijn we sinds de oertijd bezig. De vroegst overgeleverde verhalen draaien om troosten of verklaren. Waar de wereld vandaan komt bijvoorbeeld, of dat onweer niet zozeer een doodeng en grillig natuurverschijnsel is, maar gewoon een moodswing van de dondergod. Dat als je maar goed en vooral volgens de regels leeft, je niets zal overkomen.

This is a terrible review but it does get one thing right : Saoirse Ronan is brilliant. The scene on the beach is completely hearbreaking.

Perception and the Real
Perception and the Real
If our evolutionary heritage in its development of consciousness limited its capacities to survival and propagation of the species, then much of the so-called ‘super-natural’ world of the noumenal is neither super nor beyond us. We are immersed in a cosmos that our brain and body for the most part filter out, exclude from access what we did not need as a species to survive in jungles, deserts, mountains, etc.

Maureen Guinness, the late Marchioness of Dufferin and Ava, was a vacuous snob whose idea of fun was to turn up at the houses of society hostesses wearing a comedy penis nose, a fart machine carefully hidden between her legs.
