Static Paradigms

Have you ever come up with an analogy so convincing and persuasive that you are blinded by new knowledge that doesn't fit within the paradigm? Check yo'self.

As the world turns

Sometimes the only thing keeping me going is forgetting that I'm already in motion.

Comforting Fixation

Anything can become comforting during a period of fixation. That's why you should test everything you love by leaving it for a little while and coming back just to make sure it isn't just comfort and also so there is still excitement in the relationship and you don't become overly habituated.

Cop video game

Is there a games where you are a cop working your way up in corruption and ranking.

Kid ego's

If kids weren't so egotistical they would be much harder to handle. Feeling that someone is watching you is almost entirely inconsistent with reality. This is why it feels like parents have eyes in the back of their head. This feeling than carries over to when they aren't actually being watched. Problem kids come about when they have inattentive parents and they feel the can escape the eye.

Our generation

I feel like the only true artists in our generation are all scientists you just don't see them because they stand out in a direction that provides a more concrete value to society. Notable exceptions: Kanye West, Lady Gaga

Blue chips

I see tech jobs as the most efficient step towards automation of society. The closer we can get to fewer jobs needed dedicated to survival of species and more toward entertainment will hopefully eventually turn us into an artisanal society where the only value is placed in art(the world's definition of art will approach mine) because everything else is provided.

Easier to find

Is it easier to be famous than to impress your friends? to be famous all you have to do is be extreme for one moment For your friends you have to maintain incredibility for much longer.

Selfish Fashion

The key to fashion is to be selfish about it, it's not what you are wearing but that YOU are the one wearing it. The clothes are static what can be different is the whole picture, you define the whole picture. If you don't treat fashion this way you in my opinion you are just playing dress up.

What internet?

I think its funny when people try to give illustrative example of why the internet is so great. The internet is so versatile that any concrete example invariably falls short and makes the speaker sound like they actually have limited knowledge of the subject. "You can play solitaire on it!"

No skydiving

Imma tie a sign on a balloon that says "no skydiving".

Fighting for Conflict

The idea of being a character in a story is the implied adventure. Every story has conflict thrust upon it. In real life you have to fight for conflict.

Are the neurotransmitters released during consensual sex dramatically different from those released during rape?

How much $ is hope worth?

Internet Culture

Cross cultural study comparing internet culture with culture of people IRL

Fake it till you make it

Fake it till you make it... then continue to fake it for the rest of your life. It will continue to get more instinctive through experience. As Aristotle wrote, "We are what we repeatedly do, excellence therefore is not an act but a habit."

Subserviance

Subservient people need superior knowledge of rules.

Life Question to Solve

How do we transform "academic knowledge" to "common knowledge".

Judging Bias

As top tier lawyers are know for high percentages of conviction or acquittal, judges would be aware of this and a confirmation bias would be present.

Better Lover

I bet you'll discover I'm a better lover when you're tethered to a feather bed under the covers

Increased carrying capacity

I would like to see a pie chart the detailed major technical impacts percentage impact on increasing carrying capacity. Start with segmentation by category, nutritional, medical, etc and then become specifics become difficult.

Balanced Journalism

"Does balanced journalism mean finding people to support stupid ideas" good character/reoccuring sketch where ridiculous opinions are voiced with even time.

Worst Karaoke Song

Why Don't We Do it in the Road

Plastic bag ban

I picked up a hooker on Sammish way and she charged me 5 cents for not bringing my own bag.

Parenthood

Being a parent is like watching over you friend who has taken way too many mushrooms while you have also taken a reasonable amount of mushrooms. You don't really know what you are doing and whats going on but you're pretty sure they shouldn't be putting that in their mouth. One of the best analogies I have heard from a standup I can't remember.

Listen Up Johnny

One great thing about having kids is they have to listen to all the stupid things you say and they even think you are smart.

Table Top Trust Fall

Table top trust fall for a surprising flash of a range of emotions.

Create, Evaluate, Analyze

Begin discussions by randomly selecting students to make a statement about a given topic on the board. The statement can have elements of truth or be completely false, it doesn't matter and the student doesn't have to tell anyone if they think its true or not. The class instead has a discussion as to weather or not they think the statement is true or not. Additional suggestions Place a despised but necessary task after discussion so that it could be pushed back by a longer discussion for participation motivation. This exercise provides Understanding of value statements through the gradual realization of what kinds of statements lead to longer discussions. Discover the complexity of issues combined with varying perspective.

Top of the Class

In any size group of children, some will rise to the top and some will sink to the bottom. Therefore we should regularly segment off the top rather than remove from the bottom so that everyone else will be rewarded for positive achievement and utilizes social structures.

Manifest destiny #1

Adam and Eve tells the story that even in a perfect world man is destined to sin. A poor environment can therefore not be an excuse for sin.

Sextuple Negative

He incorrectly rejected the null hypothesis of no reduced depression.

Running in the Halls

I'm going to start a petition to allow running in the halls. Kids issues are under represented in our legislation.

What is that

Sometimes I follow a random train of thought and it takes me to places where I don't have knowledge so I end up asking the people around me some ridiculous non-sequiturs. It always seems like I'm asking grammatical questions out of context "What is that?" "No sorry, I mean what part of speech is the word that"

Product Placement

Tv/movie product search BIG IDEA

Hunter/Gatherer

In the paleolithic era, a defining gender roles of society was of men hunting and women were gathering. This defines a large portion of the differences between men and women (here I must give deference to the miracle of childbirth). While many qualities that make men superior hunters to women are immediately obvious to me,(just look at the Olympics), the comparable qualities that make women better at gathering escape me. Does anyone have some answers?

Fame

I think celebrities should be satisfied by fame and not require fortune. This is my justification for piracy.

Mathematics is a conceptual metaphor with a human bias. We have no real way to remove this bia

Dewey

It is impossible to start a fresh train of thought. All new thought requires a previous stimulus, this is one reason why it is difficult to invent new ideas.

Open Bar

Flat rate entry fee, open bar, if its packed enough people wont be able to get many drinks and it will be worth it for the bar.

12

When I have to set an alarm for noon or midnight I usually just set it for both just in case. Yes I realize these are unreasonable times for alarms to be set for.

"Fruits and Vegetables"

I feel that fruits are unfairly paired with vegetables in our minds. Fruits are way better.

Perfection

Perfection is universal and therefore contains no individualism. I consider any action performed les perfectly, in that precise way becomes our own individual dance. I consider any behavior that is less than perfect to be a dance of individualism

New Therapy

Intensive therapy where you force someone to recognize the disconnection between what they think they want and what they really want by making a list of every like and dislike and an explanation This will allow for all opinions to be modernized from childhood ignorance. When people are cognizant of their opinions they are often inconsistent with their unconscious opinions, this disconnect causes discomfort in every decision. You avoid this by making all opinions stated and explicit.

Office Parachute

How quickly could you make a parachute out of office supplies?
