Like a kingdom divided, which rushes to its doom, the mind that engages in subjects of too great variety becomes confused and weakened.

Hach, war das gestern ein schöner Tag 🥰 Sehr schön, uns mal wieder getroffen zu haben. Trotz dass ich eine Stunde früher als sonst losgefahren bin (und somit gegen halb 1 mittags dort war), ging die Zeit viel zu schnell rum 🥲 Und vor allem die Hin-, aber auch Rückfahrt haben gut geklappt 😃

Wir begannen mit einer Partie #Tiefseeabenteuer, die ich nach der großen Wendung in der letzten Runde 3 überraschend eindeutig mit 25 : 39 verlor 😱 Ich war bei diesem Push-Your-Luck-Spiel etwas zu zaghaft.

Es folgte Kartoffelsalat mit Würstchen. Kein Spiel, sondern Essen 😋

Anschließend haben wir es beim kooperativen #HeldenMüssenDraußenBleiben erfolgreich geschafft, als Monster (Ratten und Drache) unser Verlies zu verteidigen. Am Ende schafften es zwar noch Heldys in die Schatzkammer. Zu dritt konnten sie die entscheidende 4er-Schatztruhe aber nicht öffnen 🥳

Es ging kooperativ weiter beim Kartenspiel #TheMind, in dem die Handkarten ohne Kommunikation aufsteigend abgelegt werden müssen. Wir schafften es bis Level 7 (7 Handkarten pro Person), danach gingen uns die Leben aus.

Zwischendurch hab ich vom Gastgeber verschiedene Werke in der Minecraft-Welt gezeigt bekommen. Auch wenn es nicht meine Art der Freizeitbeschäftigung ist, sind die Werke schon faszinierend.

Bevor ich gegen halb 10 wieder nach Hause gefahren bin, blieb noch Zeit für anderthalb Partien #CantStop. Auch hier ging das Push Your Luck wieder nicht gut für mich aus 🤷‍♂️

Schön wars, hoffentlich klappts bald wieder 😊

Individual autonomy and public deliberation in behavioral public policy - Humanities and Social Sciences Communications https://buff.ly/3ZTSyV1

"The article explores epistemic, normative, and psychological challenges of autonomy as self-constitution and suggests that public deliberation in mini-publics could mitigate some of these challenges."

Lets talk sleep and dreaming
How do people dream?

Do you see things like in reality?
(some people say they cant see anything)

Do you dream in colour or b&w?

Can you read written words?

Do you talk normally using your native language?

If you are multilingual what language are your dreams in?

Can you feel sensations like pain pleasure touch?

Can you feel heat & cold?

Anything else?
