I'm afraid I'm not the TL;DR generation. I want information. I'm the sort of person that finds something mildly intriguing and then takes a massive deep dive into research to find out way more about it. Just because. Like some sort of weirdo who likes to read and learn new things. Almost obsessively. And I… Continue reading TL;DR Too long, Didn’t read
Hiraeth is a Welsh word that has no direct English translation. Some might say it is a sort of longing with homesickness and yearning or nostalgia. And it is sort of all of those layered in there. A longing, homesickness and nostalgia for a home you can't return to, no longer was, or even never existed.… Continue reading HIRAETH: the home that lives in my imagination
There is something about being a woman and this concept we shouldn't show our gray hair. Men can. It is all distinguished. We just 'look old' and how Dare we show our age? That is Wrong. And how dare we LOOK our age. That is WORSE. Society sucks. I just want to be me. I… Continue reading When you rock your gray hair
I did this test today. One of those career tests that tells which facets of you personality are dominate and which fields you should focus on for life satisfaction. Unsurprisingly mine where 'Thinking' and 'Creating' as dominate traits. Pretty much on par with each other. The banker and the inauthentic self Prior to becoming disabled… Continue reading Depression, our career choices, and the authentic self
So I just had a birthday and I am now 43. As we know from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy the answer to Life, the Universe and Everything is, in fact, 42. Therefore, we can assume the age of 42 is one of profound wisdom where we get a glimpse of Life, the Universe and… Continue reading Year 42 the answer to life, the universe and everything
This has been going about the internet because it is pretty fascinating. That we do not comprehend that other people's brains fundamentally do not work the same way ours do. I knew, for example, we all learn differently. I am book smart. I remember every damn thing I read. Sometimes I even remember how the… Continue reading Having no internal monologue
Intelligence without creativity is just knowledge that cannot be manifested into anything... great at trivia but not so great at creation or problem solving. I'm a motherfucking genius! Well, some consider an IQ of 140 to be a genius. (unless I have a migraine then it is lower... and I ALWAYS have a migraine) I'm… Continue reading IQ seems a little flat without an influx of Creativity
I got to thinking. This is always a bad idea. Nevermind that. I got to my mind wandering as it does and it wandered into the question of time travel. Not the standard questions and paradoxes though. Just a question under a certain set of conditions. What if time travel into the past did exist.… Continue reading Time travel probability ponderings
It used to be colour was considered to be a characteristic of a thing... part of its being. And many walk around thinking colour is a Thing in the world. A quality of an object like its shape and texture. We see it out there in the world and so it is out there in… Continue reading Colour is all in your head
I see some people out there who are proud they are weird as fuck. And they are my people. Because I too am weird. I like a lot of fandoms. I am dorky, nerdy, and geeky all at once. I know a lot of strange facts. I have high intelligence statistically. High creativity. But super… Continue reading Weird as f*ck
Why do we believe weird things? As smart as we can be, why do we believe weird things? I am reminded of Michael Shermer’s view, when he’s asked why smart people believe weird things, like creationism, ghosts and (as with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) fairies: “Smart people are very good at rationalizing things they came… Continue reading Intelligence and belief
