Sadhguru - Should We Punish Our Children?

I remember vividly the first time I smacked my daughter. She was only about two or three and had just started walking. We were in a multi-story car park. I was getting stuff out of the car or locking it or something and she wandered off, then I suddenly saw her at the foot of one of the ramps and a car was driving down quite fast towards her. I got a fright and I ran over to grab her. I smacked her bottom and told her never to wander off like that again. But it was because I was frightened that I reacted like that, not really because of anything she'd done. Poor little thing! I think moving vehicles are probably a greater danger to children than anything else in this world. She later told me, quite seriously that "Cars must be OK, otherwise they wouldn't let people have them." See RT UK: Some Brits Take Education More Seriously Than Life Itself.

I don't agree at all with what he says about education. Human beings are animals, but we are also divine, and that divinity is something we create through good education. Yes, we could all live in the forest and eat acorns like pigs do, ... But I would rather build a civilized society, thank you very much!

And here he talks about a reason why some women may feel the need to rearrange the furniture from time to time. It's because of tortured trees, and bad education!

So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land.

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming.
