There is a fine line between good selfishness and bad selfishness.

Selfishness is good if it keeps you alive. I think.

That is sort of what I mean by good selfishness. Doing anything for ourselves is technically selfish. But there is a difference between having a good lunch and eating something when you are not hungry and there is someone else who is hungry right there.

Yes. How can one take care of others, if one has not taken care of the self first?

It always tickles me when they give that safety talk on airplanes and they mention that the floatation device can be inflated manually by blowing into the tube. I can’t blow with my hands. That’s inflating it orally.


The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."

The rescuers would also find themselves slowly transforming into version of it too. Icky!

Well, it's arguably better than drowning.

That reminds me of a bit from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

“It's unpleasantly like being drunk."
"What's so unpleasant about being drunk?"
"You ask a glass of water.”

Not so much. Ick! Obviously the transformation of the rescuers refers to those plucky mice from the Disney cartoon. They then spread Y'golonac's contagion around the world via the bird they fly on. It's the horror sequel Disney didn't want you to see!

I've never seen it. I had some stills on an old Viewmaster. I've not seen Disney cartoon features.

I hated Bambi and the Jungle Book. I loved Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Beauty and the Beast, and Mulan.

That is true for many situations beyond Bambi too!

I have thought that if you could only use one word to define mankind, the best word would be "contradiction"

Better than "extinct".

Something else else I was listening to recently said you could map the decline of megafauna in an area with the arrival of mankind. Even if initially it didn't look as though mankind had got there that early, there would be signs due to the dying off of easy to hunt other species.

I’ve visited Malaysia twice and Indonesia once, Australia once, the USA four times (once was to Guam), China more than five times (if counting Hong Kong and Macau).

A friend invited me to India for his wedding, but I can’t say yes yet because I’m officially unemployed
