There are two perspectives on life and after-life. “Only two?” you might reasonably wonder. I would argue that there are only two of all binary choices. You only have the choice between standing up and not standing up. If you choose to do anything other than standing up, you are choosing the other thing. There is subtlety here – you can do millions of things that aren’t standing up – but if the sets that you are working within are…
A long time ago, CGP Grey described the difference between the UK, England, Scotland and the other terms and nations. It’s a great video, and well worth a watch, but if you want a summary, I have made the following PowerPoint slide: CGP Grey’s video:

I am writing this in America. In New Hampshire to be precise. And being more precise than America is very important – this country is huge. Last month my wife and I drove for what felt like an age, driving on reasonably good roads westwards towards and into Vermont. And despite driving for ages, Google Maps only welcomed us to one new State. And the state we went into, and the state we left, are both among the tiniest. Two…
