"By opening our eyes we do not necessarily see what confronts us. We are anxiety-ridden animals. Our minds are continually active, fabricating an anxious, usually self-preoccupied, often falsifying _veil_ which partially conceals the world. Our states of consciousness differ in quality, our fantasies and reveries are not trivial and unimportant, they are profoundly connected with our energies and our ability to choose and act. And if quality of consciousness matters, then anything which alters consciousness in the direction of unselfishness, objectivity and realism is to be connected with virtue.... The authority of morals is the authority of truth, that is of reality."

I think, therefore I am.
VS: We dream, therefore the world unravels.

-> Exploring how imagination reconstructs existence through decentralized systems and radical self-authorship.

Pairs well with Imagination: A manifesto by @ruha9

Had a cracking couple of days in London:

1) visiting for the final time #ViolasRoom the current #punchdrunk show in Woolwich

2) meeting my best pal for tea

3) spending the day with the best of Parliament (Librarians of course)

4) watching a screening of the #Iris film with an intro and discussion afterwards at the BFI about #IrisMurdoch

5) meeting up with @rachelcoldicutt for a long overdue catchup

Incredible!
