Hello, My name is Neil Rodrigues. In 2020, I created a website/blog focused on my personal thoughts, beliefs and feelings. I would love to hear some feedback from this community. The url is: [https://yonkeysworld.wordpress.com](https://yonkeysworld.wordpress.com)   Thanks, Neil   ---

I’ll take a look if I get a chance. We prefer having members start their topics with something specific and their own thoughts on it. ---

Ok, I’ve now created separate threads in the respective forums. Still, I’d love to hear your feedback on the site overall once you get a chance to visit. Thanks! ? ---

I did a little grazing over there. Very nice looking site, interesting personal thoughts, but I also got lost in all the rambling. How about sharing some of those insights over here? This is the discussion forum. You say some things that are interesting and straightforward, though I did notice a couple things that could be disputed and debated. If only you’d challenge us with it over here, since I won’t come over there to randomly pick on you.   Me I also have some blogs. Although my blogs are more about enunciating my life long ongoing argument with a human society that only seems to care about its own interests. Here’s my latest, short and to the point post at 500 words long. > [It’s Not A “Body-Mind Problem” - It’s An “Ego-God Problem.”](https://confrontingsciencecontrarians.blogspot.com/2021/05/no-bodymindproblem-its-egogodproblem.html) > > ConfrontingScienceContrarians. blogspot. com ---

Sabolina, what discussion was I invited into? {I was asked to go back over to Yonkers blog and look for something to discuss. But, it’s his baby, he should be starting his own threads, there are a couple and I have commented over there. Why should I be put in a position to challenging him? I’ve found most people really don’t want honest critique, it hurts too much. One needs to have a streak of masochism to do critique well. It’s the kinder gentler me, since it seems I scare and offend people way too easy as it is.}   I’ve stayed away from Yonkey’s discussions because, frankly I don’t want to hurt his feelings. I don’t know what to make of his blog. Reminds me of dungeons and dragon like characters, you know roll playing and such. It’s okay, but I don’t know what to do with it. It’s story telling and not up my alley. If you’re wanting to know about my stuff, it’s all over these CFI boards, so I’m confused by your crack. If you’re looking for something to pick on, have at it. You can start with [Prof Hoffman Playing Basketball in Zero Gravity](https://centerforinquiry.org/forums/topic/prof-hoffman-playing-basketball-in-zero-gravity/) from over at the Humanist Board. I’d love a discussion, but I also have a crowded life, if on a chaotic schedule, so bare with me. Still, I’ll do what ever I can to help a little conversation and constructive debate going over here.   Why not start a thread yourself about something close to your heart? It really is easy. Just try to keep it within the rules. cheers       ---

Well, okay, so I’m doing story telling too, ain’t I - though it’s a different kind of story telling that I’m pursuing, more down to Earth, and science based, deep time appreciating, and so on. 😉 ---

I've actually never played dungeon and dragons before. ? But it's OK. I don't expect everyone to comment on it, only if they feel like it. ? ---

I have played table top role playing games for 30 years … I go on playing. If any one is interested to talk about that, we can open a thread. ---

My college roommate worked at a gaming store in high school, so he was there for the first versions that came out. We tried making our own set of rules, but lacked the discipline to make it into a complete system. Anyway, good times. ---

Just to give an update, I’ve now organized my website better by grouping the characters and putting them in the menu. The homepage shows the classic linear timeline view, for anyone that prefers that. I now have a [Facebook Page](https://www.facebook.com/yonkeysworld/) that shows a preview when you scroll to the bottom. If any of you use Facebook, please like the page! There’s unique content posted there. ? Lastly, I’ll be posting a new blog entry next week (June 1st). I’ll copy it here too in a new thread to discuss. Can’t wait to hear your feedback! ?
