If you’ve been around more than a couple of decades, you’ve probably seen it. The classic scene in a Western movie where One-eyed Jack, outside a saloon, yells to someone inside. “Hey Bart! I’m callin’ you out! You yellow-bellied-two-faced-lily-livered-hook-nosed-varmint. And if you ain’t out here in 15 seconds, I’m comin’ in!” Then, of course Bart gets up from the poker … The rest of the story…
Love and Music Picture this. A middle aged woman grabs her husband’s arm and says, “It must be the dopamine that makes me love this dope of mine.” Because dopamine plays such a huge part in the love and music connection. Right? So it would seem. But love and music don’t connect just because of a hormone. And that … The rest of the story…
Ah, the color of evolution If you have the right hue and a bright shining light, are you more evolved than somebody else? Well, maybe. At least if you’re a star.

It’s time to scatter a little space, time, and matter I haven’t talked about this in a little while. And I love this topic. So, I wanna share a little tidbit about space, time, and matter. I know. Not a very deep subject. Right? Yeah, right. Just think about how much space there is “out there.” But how did it … The rest of the story…
Your worldview is stupid if… You don’t even know if you’re real. And when you’re willing to say individualism leads to more “anxiety, depression, and self-harm”, you need a reality check. But that won’t work. Because you question whether or not you’re just “living in a simulation.” Yeah, you might think it sounds intellectual, but your worldview is stupid.

Faint young sun is not a paradox You can do an online search for the term, faint young sun, and most of the results talk about a paradox. But it’s another fairy tale.
