the Infinite Monkey speaks: on parenting

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

Parenting is exhausting, but at least the kids appreciate the work you do for them. Just kidding. They totally don’t appreciate it.

the Infinite Monkey speaks: how many judgements

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

.

You can’t imagine someone else’s life enough, or really feel what it is like to walk in their shoes for a day, to make that (hair-trigger) judgement.

I used to be that person. Making split second judgements and not caring if they were correct or not. Many times the judgement actually made me feel good, I would say on average 25 minutes afterwards. Therefore you do the math, how many judgements to make it a good day?

the Infinite Monkey speaks: alternative power sources

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

.

The way we are currently trying to squeeze a few kw of power from a wind mill is grossly inefficient when you calculate cost and maintenance.  If we secure a heard of ZOMBIES to power generating tread mills, and hang a nice juicy hunk of meat in the front with a person taunting them, they will go forever. We might evolve to the point that each new home has its own ZOMBIE power generation facility, obviously it will need to be heavily secured. The power source will be endless, you will only need to swap out a few ZOMBIES when the parts fall off, but that will be easy and free.

the Infinite Monkey speaks: on the things themselves

Random brilliance from across the blogosphere…

I think we all have trouble figuring out the difference between our ideas of things and the things themselves.

And I don’t think most people are willing to do what it takes to start looking for the difference between their ideas of someone and the someone themselves.
