Confirmation Bias One of the most common biases is confirmation bias. We use it to choose our news sources, our friends, and the kinds of ideas we create and believe about ourselves. One way we can describe our confirmation bias is like an unconscious, instinctive, echo chamber generator. Thought Seed Finder https://loopvids.s3.amazonaws.com/Dec18Loop.mp4 […]
The Death of Hippocrates
Health Expo I went to this health expo a few weeks ago. It was kind of non-main stream expo, mostly supplements, lots of homeopathic based medicine. They had a lot of booths, mostly books and supplements. They also had a lot of talks, some by doctors, some by dieticians, but they were […]
Acoustic Resonance Brainwashing
Greek Plays I would have been cool to be alive back in ancient Greece when they had local plays put on at local amphitheaters. From today’s perspective, this doesn’t seem very special. This doesn’t seem very extraordinary. But today, we have access to tons of material to satisfy our story instinct. […]
Impending Cannibal Apocalypse
Science Fiction Story There is this really cool story by I think Ray Bradbury. It’s about this planet that has a bunch of people. The first use fire, then they discover agriculture, then they have an Industrial Revolution and then they invent nuclear weapons. Then they use the weapons on themselves, bombing […]
Hidden Insanity Revealed
Differential Equations I had this really cool differential equations teacher once. He would always be halfway through an equation and then he’d stop and tell a story.

Which meant focusing only on one set of ideas. Back then, these were ideas about God and society and the teachings of the Catholic […]

Unscheduled Library Visit I went to the library the other day, not planned, I was just passing by this place. I had found this really cool website a couple days ago about all the different things you could make with those tubes of raw dough. But I couldn’t remember this, I couldn’t find […]
Lucid Dreaming Laboratory
Taco Bell A couple weeks ago I went to Taco Bell. I hadn’t been there in a really long time. I’m not sure why, but I’ve been thinking about it lately, so I decided to stop by and get some. I was standing there, not in line, looking up at the menu. They had […]
Brown Bag Whiskey Drinker
Micro Brew Pub I went to this local micro brew pub recently. I’d been kind of curious about it. I’m not much of a beer drinker, but a long time ago me and a friend used to make beer. So I was just kind of curious as this place had a few of their own […]
