Friendship

It is amazing how easily two completely random people can create a friendship.

Dance

To me a dance is any movement that is purposefully not the most efficient.

Questions

You asked a question you wanted a particular response to, then before the person can reply, ask an additional question that has an obvious answer being the same answer you were wanting for the first question.

Second Chances

I always seem to blow my second chances. Third chances I really take advantage of though.

Stories

Everything till now is a story and everything after now is a story.

Sad Thoughts

Why does reminiscing make you sad, even when you are remembering happy things?

Prejudice

I am prejudiced against prejudice

Routine

Time seems to move faster when you have a routine. So make a routine for things you don't enjoy and do the things you enjoy spontaneously.

Big Picture

Big picture ideas are more valuable to society than smaller ones but don't necessarily require more thought power or creativity. I think theoretical physicists take this too far.

Talking

Most of the time I would rather say something that is interesting than something that is true.

Voting Age

One of the reasons that schools were created was to promote democracy and nationalism. If that is the case why is it that the age we act out our most important democratic task, voting, the year after most students have graduated. I think that general voting turnout and consequently political activism would increase if the voting age was lowered to 17.

Effort

I read that effort is a punishing stimulus. This explains a lot.

Speed Reading

Do people read faster with both eyes than with one? It seems like it would be around the same speed. If so I would think that there could be a more efficient method of written communication that requires the use of both eyes more comprehensively.

Learning

I read a while ago that a definition of learning as being able to answer questions to increasingly difficult questions.
