Think, the multidimensional intersections of things like science, tech, psychology, sociology, language, the practice of philosophy, etc. No expertise, here. Just a curious mind that thrives on wrestling with the complex whys, because anything else isn"t nearly as fun. If this sounds interesting, welcome! Hear something you"d like to chat

That suddenly shifted my perspective away from holding them in this view of esteem, of mutual respect. Or I thought, like, I felt respect for them and presumed that based on our prior

So I know that many will use this platform as a micropodcasting space to come on create and walk away and wait to see how people engage. However, if everyone is using that mentality, then there is no cross listening engaging of any kind. Which means that you may not be getting the likes, listens and comments or conversation. You may not be able to end up on the trending list because of how you're using the platform."

And what I recognize, this is completely ludicrous, but I would think that these things would all be better off whatever system we're looking at, if there was more cognitive empathy done and putting ourselves in the shoes of, if you're a business owner, the consumer, and as a consumer, putting ourselves in the shoes of the business owner."

Who knows how many times a woman has been to this particular event, whether it's her first or her, um, teen millionth. Okay, you can't have that many because she's not been alive that long. But you know what I mean? For her, the context is zoomed in, and it is that moment. And so Gaza, it's not even in the vicinity. And for her to be wearing."

And I also want to throw in there that it doesn't necessarily have to be a life and death situation. It can be a social situation, but you're processing a lot of information and you need to maybe jump ahead in the process. So, for example, we know that statistically for women, children and fellow women are not the greatest threat."

So then I started thinking, like, when is it that a particular war reaches a point that it's decided in order for this to be useful, then death has to happen. And I know that that's probably not a philosophical, philosophical question that's asked in the moment. It's more goal oriented and pragmatic about getting the achieved

That happens to you. I think I learned that one didn't do today. Moss, Piglet. I like that one. If it's. But not just nearly indestructible. If the living organism is like, you cannot kill it, is it still alive?"

When a professional says you can't possibly be autistic because you make eye contact, or you can't possibly be autistic because you have a degree or a romantic partner or children or any of these other ideas, it completely misses the breadth and depth of the spectrum."

And the conclusion NASA came to was that it's the education system that quote, unquote, dumbed us down.
