Humans in a nutshell...

@lyssasphere Oh, and I forgot one... I am quite sure, not 100%, but something like 99.9999... ...999% that most people with chronic disease (Cancer, ALS, HIV, etc) did not choose to become long-term patients with disabilities.

Do we choose who we become?

@lyssasphere This is just way too cool!!!

Did you know that if you are on the moon, you can observe the earth in the sky, but it is entirely stationary... It doesn't move.... Because the moon's motion is tidally locked. #relativity

@lyssasphere @bradgearon It seems like it is in a fair number of scenarios. There are very few instances where real communication can occur.

Do you ever feel like talking is totally pointless?

@LarsTheBiggest @hookskat You can easily start learning it by looking it up.

@QuestionAbyss @hookskat Darn. I studied so hard. I guess I didn’t pass your test. It’s ok. I’ll drop your class. I don’t care for your style.

Did you know that around a million people each year die from parasitic infections, let alone all the other animals that fall prey to parasites? I wonder if parasites were on the ark, and why would god save them…. Or even create them?

@LarsTheBiggest @hookskat ^^^This isn't demonstrating knowledge of them...

@QuestionAbyss @hookskat Yes Professor. I not only know what they are, like any person seeking truth, I’ve wrestled with eternal punishment vs annihilation, evil, The Trinity etc. One elementary explanation (not the full story) is that if the Bible was made up, those issues would have been smoothed.

@illyrian598 Apologies! I am in gif rehab and trying to get myself away from using them!

@QuestionAbyss WHERE IS MY METAL

Why do so many cultures adhere to the idea of "the evil eye?"

@LarsTheBiggest @hookskat Do you know what the logical fallacies are?

@hookskat @QuestionAbyss Yes, but it’s based on the scriptures (which have more evidence of truth than Socrates, Plato or any other writing from antiquity) , personal experiences and experiences of others. I lose nothing and gain everything from choosing to follow faith.

@lyssasphere No, but human ego thinks so.

@lyssasphere A rare state of thermodynamics in our times... Currently people aim for k = +infinity in a world of... rate = k[A]

@QuestionAbyss Only if one has the time to slow down and observe for a minute 😆

How much potential have you likely "pushed away" over the years in favor of your personal peace?

@lyssasphere Clay is actually a pretty cool color...

@QuestionAbyss I got a little dirty so to speak I'm now a clay color, hardly noticeable amongst the scenery

@lyssasphere This is great as advice for all of us...

I need to develop a more powerful lens and expand my perspective

@lyssasphere Magnification. Increase Magnification.

What do you have to do to see further in distance?

@lyssasphere ^^^Most underrated life hack in existence...

@QuestionAbyss I intentionally write down things I need to do so I don't have to think about them and it's trained my brain to relax if it has unfinished tasks at hand. I know it will all get done.

What is the Zeigarnik effect and have you ever experienced it?

@lyssasphere That is beyond way too awesome!!! If you are even 50% good at that, that is impressive af!!! It's a talent that is probably at necessity level...!!! Glad your day IS awesome, that sounds like fun!!!

@QuestionAbyss I am learning how to fix my own cars, and that I can diagnose as good as any other mechanic 🙃 I hope you are having an awesome day!

Morning check in: Will you be spending the better portion of your energy on yourself today? What new uncharted territory of personal growth will you trailblaze today?

@lyssasphere Hormonal physiology is vastly undermentioned and underrated. Just a handful of hormone levels shifting can make a person almost become someone completely different...

@QuestionAbyss It's definitely on par with hormone progression for me. It is not even a choice. I can tell that my hormones are shifting and I no longer care to impress anyone. It's definitely a mating thing... When you want to mate, your entire system of prioritization shifts.

At what point in your life did you shift from external to internal validation?

@AynenMakino ^^^THIS!!!

@QuestionAbyss Near-infinite. The road you traveled is singular. The road you didn't travel is everywhere else.

@lyssasphere Big rocks you can't see ahead on the intended path surely have to be expensive!!!

@QuestionAbyss And it can be quite risky! 👀 Sometimes it costs a pretty penny but then you fix it and learn more! I dunno, hedonic treadmilling if one is not discerning enough

Do you have a social cost-benefit filter as a protective mechanism?

@lyssasphere ^^^THIS!!! It's crazy to think of how many people only make that transition at like 60... and there are those who never do...!!!

@QuestionAbyss 37

@lyssasphere ^^^THIS!!!

@QuestionAbyss 35

At what point in life did you stop needing anyone else's permission to be yourself?

@lyssasphere ^^^THIS!!!

@QuestionAbyss I am confrontational and direct, but I've found a way to communicate more powerfully by doing it the wrong way a few thousand times

How are you at handling social friction?
