Paradox and Confusion

Friday Jun 27 2008

   By Shae Hadden | Bio
Someone was telling me recently that some of Buddhist temples in Japan are guarded by two fierce-looking demon-like figures. These guardians of ‘Truth’ are known as ‘Paradox’ and ‘Confusion’. These days, paradox and confusion seem to be states I alternate between in my quest to discover who I am and what future I want to create.

Life Expectancy

Friday Dec 07 2007

By Shae Hadden | Bio

I'm intrigued by the popularity of online life expectancy calculators. Like reading tea leaves, tarot cards or astrological charts, many people seem to be fascinated with the idea of predicting their future. This compulsion to 'know how much time we have' is closely tied with a desire to re-engineer our lives to reduce or eliminate aging altogether. As if each of us has an expiry date that we can scan so we can know when we'll be used up! The concept of 'life expectancy' is based on statistical projections, which are based on past history. When you think about it, the whole idea is based on the premise that the past is an accurate predictor of the future.
