Notes on granular thinking (first of an occasional series)

For a long time now I've been thinking about whether things are predetermined or the result of "free will" — whatever that means in these days of fMRI experiments which seem to show that our intentions are already in place before we become conscious of them.

More and more the "we're all characters in some advanced civilization's version of 'Spore'" hypothesis best fits the data.

Nevertheless, I continue to ponder fate and chance and predetermination and how viewing life through a particular lens changes not only the life but also the very nature of the lens itself.

BehindTheMedspeak (as it were): Hemorr-Ice — 'Simply apply the chilled inserter for two to five minutes'

Be more chill.

As it were.

From the website:

Hemorr-Ice®

Not a suppository, not an ointment, but a new clinically-tested method of treating hemorrhoids with cold therapy.

Hemorr-Ice has a special cooling liquid sealed inside so it acts like an ice pack on your hemorrhoid.

Shrinks blood vessels, reduces bleeding and promotes healing of inflamed tissues.

Simply apply the chilled inserter for two to five minutes.

Provides fast relief from pain, itching and bleeding.

Safe to use as often as desired.

I figure it can't hurt and it might help so if you're in the market for something along these lines, might as well go for it.
