UK: I Once Ran a Half-Marathon over 1 Hr 40 Mins [13.25 Miles] in Hereford During the 1980s – and Neither of My Legs Were Broken! (8.8.2026)

I was born in Oxford (Hitler bombed my mother’s family out of working-class Lewisham in 1940) – and I love the history and “learning” associated with the place (I can walk around with a book about Marx on open display and no one bats an eyelid). I did attend Oxford – but I paid to do so – as I could not attain a place due to my own limitations when I was young. It just so happened that my intellectual abilities matured at the same time when I experienced a decade of wealth. Although Oxford does discriminate, I “paid” to access a “Philosophy of Mind” course – which I passed despite not fitting-in (I was in my late 30s at the time and was surrounded by BBC executives, Guardian Reporters, and UN employees – but my family was proud). However, I was told a story of a young woman who was born into a poor working-class family and brought-up on a housing estate.

Group to Protest Against Girlguiding’s “Message of Rejection to Trans Children!! (13.12.2025)

Indeed, the brain is a later extension of the spine. Prior to the development of cogent human thought – the spinal reflex-arc kept humanity alive as much as possible through basic cause and effect conditioning. Later, cogent thought was layered over this process – giving the false impression that the brain (and will-power) is responsible. Reflex-arcs are so quick – there is no time for “thinking”. The reality is that the finger is pierced and moved away from danger PRIOR to any pain being felt. The brain, with all its moralising, would have you believe that logic, reason caused the reflex-arc and its entire existence was to avoid unnecessary pain. I suspect that when this reflex-arc was first laid-down millions of years ago – the then pre-human life-form could not experience the level of pain humans do today – so the avoidance of “pain” cannot be the motivation for the avoidance of danger.

China: Researchers Develop Injectable – Biodegradable Gel-Based Sensors! (7.6.2024)

The gel-based miniaturized sensor, a set of 2-millimetre cube-shaped sensors, is implanted within the intracranial space using a puncture needle and capable of independently measuring intracranial pressure, temperature, pH, and flow rate. The sensor made of hydrogel will dissolve in the body within weeks without surgery.

It exhibits excellent sensing capabilities, comparable to those of conventional non-resorbable wired clinical benchmarks. In the future, this sensor can also be applied to other parts of the human body, which is expected to bring a new technology paradigm for clinical intelligent diagnosis and treatment.
