Episode 53

The sixth of eleven episodes in which Miriam returns to ramble with me on my mind map. The six topics we randomly generated this time were left- and right-handedness, "cultural self-harm", fractality in nature, MK Ultra, ley lines and Conlon Nancarrow.

We continue to consider the possibility of "cultural self-harm", generated by (speculative) national group minds and manifesting as destructive road building programmes, etc. This leads into a discussion of geomancy, archaeo-astronomy, purported ley lines, etc., with a brief diversion to consider the Scottish Nationalist "capture" of the Stone of Scone from Westminster Abbey in 1950 and its significance.
