It's a lifestyle you choose. The content shared here is about beautiful images in a world filled with crazy. Those images are both created in words and in pictures and are a function of life as I experience it.
Food, travel, career and social matters with a twist of politics as one would have in any lifestyle. I am not going to focus on the negative, although I will illuminate what is of concern in my opinion.

Daniel Tammet Is The Brainman. Why Be Normal?
“It always seems impossible until its done.” - Nelson Mandela. In a world full of so many amazing and wonderful things, how is it that we seem to only see the negative? Daniel Tammet blew me away when I discovered that he recited Pi in 22 514 decimal places in five hours and nine minutes. You might remember Pi in Maths at school as 3.14 or 22/7. What you will mostly remember is that it is an irrational number and we tended to round it off since it went on forever... Daniel Tammet is a savant (somebody with exceptional mental abilities). He suffered epileptic fits as a child and they believe that is what triggered his phenomenal ability. I 100% agree with him when he says "the line between profound talent and profound disability is thin" given I have always believed that there is a fine line between genius and madness. Watch this video if you want to see a beautiful mind at work.
