Both my biologist and math friends are constantly giving me new ways of looking at the world. I have a rich inner life because of this.

When God closes and locks a door, I reach for the lockpick set I purchased on Amazon dot com.

Is this a joke post or a serious reflection about the nature of reality? Even I don't know.

Sometimes I speak clearly and gracefully in a conversation, but then I say too many words or muddy it somehow. My authentic intention is to communicate, but it seems that by having a deliberate aim, I cause myself to miss the target entirely. Never develop a deliberate intent. In fact, don't even try. If your goals are truly meant to be accomplished, they will be reached even by accident.

It's always annoying when a work of fiction presents a "revelation" that you didn't even realize was supposed to not be known. In Jennifer Government, there's a bit where this guy is infiltrating the villainous organization having copied the identity of a member of that organization. He meets a guy whose name is the same as his cover name, and a bit later he suddenly discovers that this is the person he's disguised as! In one Ghost in the Shell episode, they're looking through the pictures taken by a murder victim -- in a world where cybernetic implants are common, and which are clearly taken from his eyes rather than a camera -- and then much much later one of these crack professional detectives realizes that there's no camera and this is the key clue he needs to blow open the case. Even if I might buy someone from our time missing that, this guy lives in a world where such things are commonplace! How does he not realize this?

The concept of antisocial behavior is strange. Are you telling me that you're spending the energy you have now in ways that destroy your opportunities to give or receive energy in the future? This seems like a losing strategy.

If you're so smart, why aren't you prosocial? Why haven't you realized that connection is the best part of life? And missing out on it is like missing the whole vibe.

Just a moment. I have to scatter some of my thoughts across the internet.

When I see mosses, I think about how they function similarly to sensors or organic bioindicators. For example, you can potentially determine when an environment is contending with pollution merely by looking at moss from a distance. But moss can also be collected and thoroughly examined in a laboratory.
