Spectacular

I often dictate the blog to my phone as I walk. Not today. Instead I was wondering what to blog about on this evening's walk. Should I include ideas sparked from books and discussions of current interest?

"Time goes you say ? Ah no !

Alas, Time stays, we go"

[Austin Dobson The Paradox of Time (1886) after Pierre de Ronsard, Sonnet a Marie]

"Capitalism survives by forcing the majority, whom it exploits, to define their own interests as narrowly as possible. This was once achieved by extensive deprivation. Today in the developed countries it is being achieved by imposing a false standard of what is and what is not desirable."

[Ways of Seeing 1972 John Berger]

Or rugby? - earlier, we were at the RDS to see Leinster beat Cardiff 22-21.

Or analytics? - the privileged are processed by people, the masses by machines (after Weapons of Math Destruction by Cathy O'Neil). 

Or judgement? Or photography? Or colour constancy?

Two blue plastic gloves as installation art, stuck into a wall, a wall painted with green anti-grafitti paint, a green that my iPhone camera couldn't render.

Then the sun set. Spectacular. Enough said.

Another 7 km walked off. Time to donate here?
