Since in general I have to analyze my actions to even see my emotions, I'd like to know how to become more luminous just to increase my shared vocabulary with people.

'How would I explain it if I wake up and my left arm is replaced with a tentacle?' and ' How would I explain it if Godzilla attacks?' are similar questions. Except Godzilla is more on your mind, because no one makes a movie about how my arm was replaced by a tentacle, but it's easy to come up with drama about a giant fire snorting lizard.

Timothy Leary's Intelligence Agents, quoting Aleister Crowley, supposedly.

I though rabbits had to be cuter because more rabbits eat their children than do humans. They never stopped selecting for that.

Is there a facebook group I can spam my friends to join to save the world via Craiglist ads yet?

So you're defining 'nice' as what is inside, while he is defining it as what you do. Personally I like it better that way as lots of people who claim to be nice if only you got to know them are needy jerks.

Most have the same difficulties with letters that have multiple pronunciation that dyslexics have, and the standard method to teach reading is phonetic rather than memorization based. It could as easily be cultural as genetic, English is a strange nest of exceptions.

Oooh, but people can be wrong in so many ways. It's not a single extra crazy circuit. We've got redundancies: in most people, perhaps the 'main' circuits are never quite laid down right, but the redundant parts take over. This is so common people don't agree what the main circuits are; in Japan, dyslexia is more common than, err, what is neurotypical in USA.

Some people over think it, some under think it. Under think it, and you think, "Bah, Walt Disney is wacky to freeze his head!" and never get past that. Overthink it and you may never actually sign up because you leech out all the emotional impetus (this thought process is more adaptive for getting rid of bad memories).

Man, refusing to answer a challenge to authority erks so many people. I bet Robin could write a glib essay on it.

What, did it read this blog but not the hard parts of the internet or something?
