WHAT I BELIEVE

β€œI’m sure most of us face this strange sense that the human race is almost like a series of rabid dogs in a cage. And you get too close to the cage and the fierce yapping, barking, the slathering, and the horror of this creature, is what you get an impression of humanity being. But when you go out into the streets, or you sit next to someone on a bus, or in the pub, or you chat to them, it's the opposite: everyone seems individually to be reasonable, kind of humorous, resigned about the mess of the world, not completely having swallowed a red pill or blue pill.”

Stephen Fry – actor, writer, humanist

β€ŽReleasing the Fear β€ŽHealth & Well-Being Β· 2025

I’ve written a short book about how fear evolved in us, how it shapes our world, and how we can release it.

It’s called Releasing the Fear: How We Must Emotionally Evolve to Survive.

It’s not about meβ€”it’s about all of us.

@48lawsofpowerr.bsky.social Much of self-help tries to fix human thinking through controlβ€”but this is the problem, not the solution. Fear evolved for survival but now rules us. Real change comes from removing fear, returning us to our original human nature: calm, connected, and free. #SelfHelpTruth

I get it β€” it’s not your taste. But I kinda love that someone out there is just doing them without fear. That’s a bit of space-age freedom right there

Still thinking about this one β€” like a Taylor Swift bridge, I felt it all… but maybe what really undoes Homo sapiens isn’t time, it’s the fear we never write songs about

They might not have shown it, but I’d say you lit a spark in there. Sometimes people don’t realise in the moment when they’re in the presence of something extraordinary. What you’re doing mattersβ€”and it’ll land with them later, when it’s quiet and they’re thinking.

Dialogues Across Time? Conceptualising the Temporal Relationships of Palimpsests in the Upper Palaeolithic Cave Art of El Castillo (Cantabria, Spain) - Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory Cave sites were frequently reused throughout the Upper Palaeolithic, with many sites within south-western Europe having deep chronologies of activity. The repeated engagement with the same caves, or s...

Why did Palaeolithic artists decide to produce art on the same walls that someone else had decorated? Do rock art palimpsests reflect dialogues that occurred across tens-of-thousands of years? My new OA paper develops a conceptual framework to explore these dimensions! πŸ‘‡πŸΊ

I suppose I’m being a bit technical and the real thing to do is see the beauty and wonder of it all. I feel such a connection with my ancient human roots and that’s why this resonates with me so much.

Maybe there could be some way of dating the material used but that is perhaps expensive or not possible?
