overseen/overheard: 

“stephen hawking is the happiest guy on the planet and doesn’t even know it anymore.”

–card sent to him ” cheer up, buddy:  it’s all (…) ”

“you know that ”yes” moment?  why can’t we engineer ourselves to be more conscious on that level?”  – (bringing an uproar)  (i am too nice a person to take the cheap shot by mentioning that i left during this discussion, but i will say it was a momentous moment)

“name standardization standardizing.  tenses as linguistic meta-narratives representative of different states of being/reality”

“on a quantum level:  two (the numeral concept “2″) = “one” (the numeric concept 1)”

(you know how some animals throw out signals to other animals to let them know they’re friendly?  let me blaze my trail:)

my very good (and completely un(screwed) definition of the term: 

any theme which attempts to describe with accuracy AND certainty will necessarily fail, falling short this amount (this amount will be what we give in return:  interest) - (aka confusionism, which, in some ways means i always get to make an interesting decision, but i am (if not “right”-which i’m not saying), at the least “never wrong”.

you cannot have a transaction without having two parties (unless both parties are secretly only one party).  The exchange between these parties = the concepts which, in a physical sense, make up “time”) - (aka creationism)

you only justify the way you want it to be (aka sophistry) - (see also:  love(-ly) (/) bullshit)

the logical 50.1% probabalistic certainty (i call this surety) of 50.1% self-definition.

is there any psychological testing / passive technical analysis done on college applicants in order to determine their level of DESIRE?  i don’t mean sex.  i mean a measure of how strongly they desire to attend.  why isn’t this considered a meaningful score?  It seems at least as indicative of performance as “intelligence” testing.

i guess you’d then have to contrast that data with whatever the generally held public conception of your company - i mean school - happened to be…  and then try to posit the conception that the applicants might have - so meaningful (true over time) conclusions could be reached about applicants / applicant’s motives - as well as your own.

Sometimes, the shortest distance between two points is the scenic route.

In the long run, 50.1% is a sure thing.
