3. Margaret Atwood warned all women who might think like these do via The Handmaid's Tale.

8. Good. Every good.

10. Something to build upon. If Brexit doesn't tear up the UK.

13. One would hope that the Irish border question has those consequences.

This is the most dreary result:

“Alt-right” women are upset that “alt-right” men are treating them terribly

This is the first case of misogyny I've encountered where I have essentially no sympathy for the women involved - because they're actual Nazis. My only hope is that this results in some of them growing a clue &/or a conscience and leaving that vile community.

Consciousness

"We suggest that our personal awareness does not create, cause or choose our beliefs, feelings or perceptions. Instead, the contents of consciousness are generated “behind the scenes” by fast, efficient, non-conscious systems in our brains. All this happens without any interference from our personal awareness, which sits passively in the passenger seat while these processes occur.

Put simply, we don’t consciously choose our thoughts or our feelings – we become aware of them."

This is one of those startling moments in life when I realise that substantial portions of the rest of the world think WAY differently to the way I always have.

The above is to me in no way controversial - and in fact I thought everyone knew/believed this, that it was "obvious"!

WOW.
