As you often do, your quote by Douglas Bader sent me searching. I’d not heard of him previously, but his skills as a flying ace for Britain in WW II were remarkable. That he did so without legs makes his contributions all the more noteworthy .
Calliope remarked on the collective commitment to daily practice, a “rule,” if you will, that mirrors Bader’s remark. Today’s oldie, “Signs,” took me back to my college days with signs and hair and actions that represented shared beliefs of different subsets of folks dwelling in Happy Valley, home of Penn State in Center County, PA.
What if we weren’t, and need not be, reliant on signs to guide/control our daily actions, he wondered while tapping the QUERTY? Sigh…
And welcome in my way of thinking. I’ve found a writer on Substack whose handle is “Philosophor.” That writer often quotes solid thinkers from long ago. Another creator from England, Tom ???, combines excellent photography with keen writing along with philosophical pondering.
When I stop pondering and asking myself what I really believe, I will have already bowed out.
I used to enjoy philosophy and expounding upon it. I think I grew out of that phase. 🤔 I’ve come to terms with, It’s all relative, which renders pontificating useless.
Did you watch The Good Place? It is/was a series on Netflix. Lots of philosophy combined with humor. I loved it!

Tennis shoes are much harder to paint! Laces and all that. 😂
I looked Douglas Bader up an noted that he was an accomplished pilot for the RAF. My skimming failed to read about his missing legs.
"What if we weren’t, and need not be, reliant on signs to guide/control our daily actions..."
Possibilities?
We operate on instinct (no mind?) like the animal kingdom?
Is there a reason we evolved beyond that? 🤔
All humans learn how to manage their thinking, being, and doing to the point signs become unnneccesary?
Ahhh! This is deep for a Tuesday afternoon.

I liked your rationale for Mary Janes! Brilliant!
