Think of a Card

I started the last week with two pretty hard-core kind of work-related "official" things.

That took me to Wednesday. 

Since then I've been part of three fantastic things with potential to change a life, in this case mine and by extension potentially many others. In small ways, yes. But it's the little things isn't it? You don't need me to tell you that. 

I won't be too obscure. I'll tell you one of them is related to comedy and two of them relate to magic - one quite simply was the card magician Dani daOrtiz who physically stole my breath from my mouth on at least three occasions. I felt it go. 

If I can do this, with a week off work and would tend to have fewer of those experiences in a week dominated by work, surely the conclusion has to be... work less, do more.

Imagine what could be achieved.

Currently in the right corner of my eye is Limitless - a movie I had quite fancied except that it seems largely to concern pretty boy B-movie actor Bradley Cooper, doing a bit of a Lance Armstrong with his brain drug, so far resulting in him gaining a lot of money a lot and getting his end away quite a bit. Why anybody needs to see that, I'm not quite sure.

But the principle is sound. The limitless brain.

It will burn of course. (Bradley is already feeling the strain).

The protection that separates the two hemispheres (corpus callosum, in case you're interested) is the thing that keeps us sane. It is our limiting valve. I'd like to think that this will atrophy as we graduate into our next species. We will let the madness in and control it in our stride. The oneness of our creative and intellectual sides communicating with the universe with less facade, less workmanlike interface. Our biotech going wireless.

How far can we go?

How limitless is limitless?

Do you want to be a Joker - sandwiching the pack pressing at its face or pushing it up from the roots?

Or is it enough to go on being the 6 of clubs?
