How to: Decide

People will make more conscientious decisions if they make them beforehand. But better informed ones the longer they wait.

Football Music

Visiospatial

Compare re-reading speed of normal vs. upside-down priming.

My Soul to Give

For lent this year I'm giving up my soul, "Just like Jesus did!" So if I seem like a soulless bastard the next couple of weeks, its just because my parents didn't believe in marriage "at the time"

Straighten Thoughts

Learning is not linear, things I learned in the past become fodder for new thoughts.

New Arch

The person at first seemed to be behaving erratically, but after enough interactions I had begun to discover the pattern in his beliefs and actions. After extended interaction he will become a stereotype in his own right. Soon enough I will compare others to his more strongly expressed qualities.

Forest for the Trees

A visual metaphor that I would like to see in a movie is:
A man with an axe cutting down a couple of trees every day until the entire forest is gone.

Artistic Unknown

When you are attempting experimentation you should only change one variable. This is true not only in science but also in art. I learned early on that when creative ideas are combined they make the overall unrecognizable to a point that it lost its appeal. You need to approach a recognizable pattern so that people will know that it is a proven good and not react with the evolutionary fear of the unknown.
This is why to be a successful artistic experimenter you need to be well accomplished in the non experimental aspects to an almost greater extent.

Decidedly So

It wasn't a purposeful decision until I decided it was.

Performing

The only time I'm not thinking and my mind is perfectly cleared is when I am performing. All of my attention is directed at perfection in execution.

Same Dream

One of my favorite parts about attending large sporting events is when I think,
"Look at all the people dreaming the same dreams", and then watching that dream become realized or destroyed for the thousands around you.

Lectures on TV

TV channel that playes stanford online classes, each class is played 4 times a week with a new episode every week. This would be much more likely to be used than Youtube because deciding between tv shows on is a easier decision than any computer based interaction. Its the same reason people watch TV movies when they own the movies.

Feeling Parkinson's

Do you choose the thoughts that you have? I think the answer is yes, but my reason is unsubstantiated.
Would schizophrenia then be when thought choice starts to become less voluntary. Like Parkinson's but instead of being unable to control your motor you can't control your sensory?

Upside Down

Try thinking about gravity as if your brain is visually flipping the world upside down.
