Automatism + Automaticity – What is my role?

Posted on December 27, 2019 by nmw

While writing the previous episodes, I wondered how other people would react to them. I decided to publish them even though I think most people are not very concerned about the well-being of others. I expect most people will react … Continue reading →

Automatism + Automaticity – First Thoughts

Posted on December 21, 2019 by nmw

Automatism and automaticity are “real concepts”, but they are not widely used … or at least not widely used everywhere in the same way. One of the fields where these concepts are most widely used is in the broad field … Continue reading →

Reading, Writing + Communications

Posted on May 20, 2017 by nmw

Mobile First is a Special Case of Reading First

Posted on May 2, 2017 by nmw

The Continued Toleration of Illiteracy

Posted on January 23, 2017 by nmw

I have written about the widespread pandemic of illiteracy for many years, and I find it odd that there has continued to be an attitude of toleration to the phenomenon – even among people who I consider to be quite … Continue reading →

Posted on October 3, 2016 by nmw

People who say stuff like „you can reach me at“ this or that URL – and then even name a URL they don’t manage themselves – are quite disingenuous… or even just plain outright bogus. No, I can’t reach you … Continue reading →

The Rationality of Buzz

Posted on September 12, 2016 by nmw

It’s early on a Monday morning – I would say “bright and early”, but it’s so early that the sun is still nowhere in sight. At any rate, the week is about to begin and so I figure it’s a … Continue reading →
