Q

what is it about minions that people find so adorable? personally i think of them with only contempt. sub-human and stupid with all the failings of greed, selfishness, aggression. also they’re noisy and their laughter is creepy.

i might have just described a baby, except we’re genetically predisposed to adore infants for evolutionary purposes… so unless we’re adult bananas, your love for minions cannot be justified. idc.

currently reading: Paulo Coelho’s The Devil & Ms Prym. the moral premise is either too convoluted for me to comprehend, or it’s fraught with loopholes. either way, it’s still pretty good.

speaking of convoluted, it’s time for my quantum reality final essay! my mind non-figuratively overheats whenever i delve into journal articles. chose to write on lockwood’s many-minds – relatively obscure but not elusively so. philosophical implications and mathematical proofs conspire to deep-fry my neurons.

my dreams they are much too exciting.

perhaps to compensate for my lack of irl. they come packaged as a coherent action movie plot, and i experience everything – the emotions, the physical turbulence – in full.

once i had a dream of being on several roller coasters. one of them was a ride down a water slide. the sensation was as real as a ride could get, but without the unpleasant fear. it was basically pure thrill without safety concerns.

how does cognitive processes generate such realistic experiences? actually i have a lot of relevant theoretical explanations for this, why am i surprised?
