Is there a name for the entire class of nonsensical debates like "is a thumb a finger?" or "is [x] a sandwich?", and if so what do we call those? (besides pointless and annoying) #RandomThoughts
I think one of the creative blocks that I face daily (my entire life) is that I THINK TO MUCH.
Not "I think well" too much. I just think too much. I imagine the thing I want to create, and that imagining leads me down multiple potential paths, which gets me into analysis paralysis and I can't decide which way to go. So that leads me into a spiral of self-doubt, which leads me to self-loathing, which leads me to "eh, what's the point?" and I don't do anything.
It seems contradictory to me that at many schools, you can get a bachelor of arts or a bachelor of science in the same field. Which is it? Is the field an art or science? #RandomThoughts#Linguistics#Academia
I think I charge my phone more often than I used to. I used to let it get all the way to single digits before recharging. Lately, I've been recharging when it's still over 75%. #RandomThoughts#Technology
Our thumbs moving across screens. Day in. Day out. Our energy devoted to serving the machines and their overlords. Reality itself being distorted by virtual, augmented and generated alternatives.
The overlords don't even have to hide their ambitions anymore. Whatever they speak is gospel.
The Matrix was not a warning of a future to come where we are hooked up to machines, emptied of our energy to serve the desired immortality of our own oppressors.
The worst password idea I ever had was to actually write a script to generate 256 random characters, including special characters, to use for my WiFi password. I didn't realize that in the near future, I would have devices that needed WiFi but couldn't accept a cut and paste of the password because they had no USB ports or GUI that would allow it.
Manually entering WiFi passwords on "Smart TVs" and other devices sucks by the way.
If it's a two canvas painting, it's a diptych.
If it's three, it's a triptych.
Is there an analogous term for a single canvas? A tych?
What about four, five, six, or more?
