Graffiti+
Graffiti is an attempt to add an aesthetic level to something originally designed for function.
Bill and Pete
I want to see Pete Carrol act as Bill Clinton in a bioepic and then watch Bill Clinton act as Pete Carrol
Against all odds
How often does something 1/1,000,000 happen to you.
Infinite
How many significant.
Once a week if you pay attention.
Born Again
How do "born again Christians" compare in their religious fever with those who were born that way the first time. Is the passion compensatory, academic or rote?

Obvious chronological album analogies.

Crowd Tricks
When on stage, have crowd turn around and look, one row at a time. Have the people look at the person behind you and turn around pass it up.
Teach Your Parents Well
We learn so much from our parents that must be wrong, but we never know because it doesn't come out of this social sphere and bad or good habits are passed through generations.
Autistic Anime
Is watching Anime good for autism? Explicit emotional expression coupled within plots should be constructive.
Who Will Die
Choose between the death of your brother or 5000 people on the other side of the world, which would you choose.
Why is this question interesting, because our internal answers defy the logical one.
Peter Pan
I thin it would be interesting to choose a year of age and once you reach that age to stop. I'm going to be the best at being 11 and attempt to truly understand the intricacies of the age.
Alternately, begin your life in an attempt to affect an older age so that way when you reach it you can do it right.

Max Happine$$
I try to use money to maximize happiness, mostly my own.
A gift costs the same price but creates more happiness.
Vending Machine Companies
Vending Machine company, great way to get product out but underutilized for different products.
Where is Fancy Bread
What % of geniuses enter which fields by choice? Where is there the least competition. Where is the most innovation being focused.
Grand Education
Am I deluded by the grandeur of education and the prospect of knowledge? Too late now
Aspirations of Outlandishness
I have aspirations of outlandishness. Unlike obsessions about accidentally blurting out something inappropriate and creating compulsions to attempt to stop, I aspire to my obsessions and inaction becomes my compulsion.
High School
High School represents a extreme of high self efficacy within an extremely limited sphere of influence during a period of predominate low influence within unforeseen horizons.
A Strange Prison Story
A man was sent to prison but prison in the community is atop a tall pillar where the solitary prisoner would live. They could admire the world going on but would be too distant to engage in it. The torture is showing what they are missing. Ironically, the prisoners end up becoming the mot knowledgeable about society and its working and we follow the prisoner going through the revelations of knowledge. He begins almost completely ignorant, smart but untaught to society, born and "raised" in the wild.
Things noticed are at first strange to the prisoner but with time to work them out he finds solutions. Sometimes these conclusions are erroneous and sometimes correct by future knowledge or by a re-evaluation of, recent learned knowledge and their potential impacts. Some are never corrected and potentially overlay with the authors conceptions of societal flaws.
Beginning with prisoner attempting to shout down but falling on deaf ears.

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.
Likely Rivals
I don't know if I would get a better reaction trolling Gloria Steinem fans with Lil' Wayne or the other way around.

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.
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!"
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.

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