    Smile Hello!

    Hi everyone! I'm a new member here. I like writing about love, everyday living, desires and mysteries. An example of my favored subjects could be the human mind; why and how it works intrigues me. I'm sure, I'll enjoy it here.

    Best of luck to you Georgina in fathoming the Irish mind. Be warned though that is likely to be a journey worthy of Dante's hero of the Divine Comedy. Samuel Beckett is the only successful psychonaut of the Irish psychology to have returned from the farthest recesses and those lines on his face did not come from working in the fields...



    One of the very bravest of Irish explorers.

    Here's a valuable clue which can be seen in our notoriously vivid use of the English language..

    Like the split nanoseconds before the Universe came into being or the time it takes for light to come from a lighbulb after flicking a switch we still think in Irish deep in our subconscious before words emerge in English.

    If analysing people is only possible by noting the way they use language and the words they choose then that is a major clue to the Irish mind.

    We spoke Irish for thousands of years and have only spoken English for a mere few hundred at best and the patterns of Irish are still there. We aren't really speaking English in my theory- we are instantly translating into it between mind and voicebox.

    Let battle commence

    Georgina introduced herself, and mentioned she's interested in the "Human mind", yet for some reason all the subsequent posts are about Irishness or the Irish psyche.

    I note she's not been back since.

    Just Sayin.

    Pretty hard for an Irish person to divorce themselves psychologically from the way our minds and thoughts are formed.

    I've a suspicion Georgina may be a machine in any case... stand ready to be corrected though.

    How'd you know everyone on here is Irish? Or are you just speaking for yourself
    We have cables that go under the sea and connect our computers with the rest of the world


    Anyway I hope Georgina is not a machine, and that we've not frightened her off with parochialism.

    Aren't you one of the Nobuts of Ballybillen? Sure who would take your lot seriously?
