Quick Quiz
Nicked from Kimberly
"Name for me five events/things that shifted your perception of yourself or the world around you greatly."
Aged 10: Scoring 91% in a maths test and coming in top of the class. First time I realised that I was particularly good at something.
Age 21: Chris Campbell comes to find me because people missed me when I wasn't in the bar. First time that I became conscious that people could miss me.
Age 23: Reading The Schroedinger's Cat Trilogy and Prometheus Rising, which opened my eyes to the games society plays. Yes, I was particularly oblivious.
Age 24: Reading an introduction to neural networks and a book on complexity (The Collapse of Chaos), which demonstrated how seemingly complex results can come from simple causes and how the brain (possibly) interprets events.
Age 24-27: Going out with Gina (and then looking after her and then being her friend), which opened my eyes to the instabilities and neuroses in all of us.
