I must admit I’ve been asking some silly questions just to annoy my dentist mother.

Questions:
–
Tattoos and piercings and self-mutilation are considered attractive or culturally important in some cultures. What cultures have similar traditions when it comes to teeth?
–
When is something done just because it’s tradition? Why do we shake hands? Why isn’t ahoy-hoy still not the preferred way to answer phones?
–
Why not?

Kinda painful but it represents how I feel today. Headaches. Or at the very least, eyestrain. Actually, it looks more like the color of eyestrain than headaches. So eyestrain.

And a few questions:
–
Will headaches make me work better? Why would that be the case? Would trying not to be distracted by a headache prevent me from being distracted by something else?
Why the hell would that be the case?
(Nope that doesn’t seem to be the case)
–
Can grinding down our teeth help with dental issues? What foods would help do so?
–
Why am I not in the habit of thinking up new questions? Whyy do I have trouble finding what to ask when I wake up? I have questions but none of them are new.

Just write because I can because I promised. I did break my promise but now I shall return.
Though I may feel bored and I can’t see my keyboard I. (I’m not wearing glasses hoping that will help)

Um, ducks

Ducks are quite a vicious pest who reproduce in way similar enough to other animals to truly be disgusting. At least from a behavioral perspective.

I am now an artist yet, I’m not much of anything, though I am a sometimes a genie and can at once be everything. To different people. Amen.

Amen is actually an acronym in hebrew short for Ell (with an aleph its Ell mean god, but its more complicated than that and I don’t want to get into details right now.) Melech – King, ne’eman – trustworthy/consistant (also more complicated.).

Three Questions:
–
How can I prevent myself from being distracted? What do I need to practice to do so? Will turning off distractions help me be more creative? I don’t know, but it will probably give me room to realize (some of) my ideas.
–
What colors does duct come in? I’ve seen the air look orange from sandstorms and pollution, what other colors are most common around the world? (Well, less rare.) Can I use fungal spores to color the air in an enclosed environment? What about insects and pollen?
–
If we were to throw little clumps of graphite at each other at high speeds what would come out? Can we shave graphite by spinning it fast enough, and what materials can catch the broken-up particles without interacting with them in any other way? Do I have any clue what I’m talking about? (Well, I know a bit of physics and chemistry, but not enough by far.)

2 Words:
–
Focus, (but what else could I be doing?)
–
I decide things by committee, I have a feeling and the systems that make me up have an election. I have the veto power, but they often push things past when I’m not looking.

But I’m not yet putting the time aside to make textures.

Three Questions:
–
(How long will today’s post be? Will I ever write a titan and the crows?)
What makes improvisation easier than playing out plans and vice-versa? Is there any way we can trace how much a person leans into improvisation? Is there a way we can see how people will react to certain scenarios if we have this threshold? (I just used that word wrong didn’t I.)
–
How much does the cost of water affect its use? What crops require the least water for the highest yield (the most usable material/water/time)? Where are the most water-intensive crops grown?
–
What other ways can I define yield? How much mass of crop, how little time ti takes to get to that crop, how much is edible/how much energy is needed to make it edable. And what else?

Four Creative* Lines (*I try):
–
When one’s head is raised and is not removed it is time to do something big.
–
Nothing is real some people squeal when they don’t want to have to matter.
Somethings are false, or lesser, say those who think they are better.
Some people drink in the sun, knowing there are other ones.
And some think that truth is pain, only themselves do they blame.
All of the above.
Some of the above, (enter your answer on a different page.)
None of the above, (enter your answer on a different page.)

Some think they say something deep, then subsequently doubt it, but in case I was right at first…
Have a meaningful day

Minimalism today there is no color.
Tomorrow there will be. I’m writing something next week, and if it turns out well I’ll post it here. But I’ll try to be more ambitious with next week’s posts as I’ll be doing them all at once.

Three Questions:
–
What is the drug that provides the most dopamine? For the greatest number of people? (I’m thinking sugar because it is consumed so much more than others. But what if we take people who are in the habit of consuming other types of drugs and compare the mean median and mode of each group?)
Is there a limit to how much dopamine is fun and any more than that is just wasted?
Can dopamine be wasted? What harm can unused dopamine cause to the human brain? How is it flushed out?
What species of animal have members that do drugs? What are the most popular natural drug-like substances that animals consume for their own entertainment? And I mean popular as in the greatest number of species of animals consume them though I’d be open to an answer in any other sense.

Lemna speaks:

I’m a little on the spot here, but {expletive} you. Nothing personal kid but it’s how it be. (she said with fake bluster.) You gotta do what you gotta do. (she said doing her best impression…) Stop that! It’s annoying! This is my place to communicate! MINE!
(Okay then so do you want to continue?) No, you ruined it. I leave you until next time.

No more creativity today I’m saving it for later.

But what am I preparing for? It is rare for one of these to actually inspire my other post for the day. But they are practice and preparation for something. I hope.

But there is no color today, I don’t feel I deserve it. And I want to focus on words.

Is hubris a character flaw if written in the first person? There are failures brought by that confidence, but the perspective your riding doesn’t attribute any error to their own actions. So if you are seeing through the eyes of someone cheated by the world, whose errors are the world’s fault while their successes are of their own making, is it an interesting perspective?
Is it a perspective we can identify with? Do we identify with it far too much?

my heart is my own. My body my mind.
My money my power, all I’ve earned is mine.
So when others take it, it is then stolen.

Why do famous people feel robbed when their fame is restrained, when hard workers don’t feel robbed for not being famous?

Lemna Speaks:

He doesn’t feel like we wrote three questions in his usual form. And I agree, but logically he has. The little {explative}.

She used to think better of me, at least for a while.

I’m not writing another post today. I’ve gotten myself vaccinated. And now all that’s left is to get a life, but I don’t have a post. See you tomorrow.

Three Questions:
–
Why and where were shoes invented? What communities and cultures didn’t have shoes and why?
(I ask this because I as an individual prefer to get from place to place while barefoot. And I think that the original purpose of shoes was to keep the feet warm more than anything else but I have to look it up to find out.)
–
What type of natural disaster would kill an unsheltered naked human at a distance of 2 kilometers from the center of the event?
–
Who was the person ever to try and construct a flying machine for humans? Were later inventors aware of this predecessor?

I am full of falsehoods and facts. But all I say is truthful. At least when I say it. Knowing that I can be wrong doesn’t stop me from thinking that I’m right. And when I am aware of my potential errors it stops me from writing as much as I can and from writing freely. Though it does provide me with a chance to write better more edited content.

Lemna Speaks:

And I exist I think. for I am stronger than my host.

But I didn’t let her say more because I was afraid of what might come out, and of being wrong in the interpretation of a character of my own creation.

Have a nice day.

This is late because I went into town this morning, and there won’t be a texture with this pre-post because I have a lot I want to do today that I probably won’t.

Three Questions + Creative* Lines:
–
Why must I challenge myself to ask these? What tempered my curiosity and desire to know? Do I fear my own ignorance? I think of myself as a knower, but every time I write one of these I have to face the facts. But only some of them, yet there are realms I shall not approach. I do not think the readers are here to see me bask in my own ignorance
–
She? But why her? and when not the others. Is it because you like her? Love her? Because you see a future. But what future does she see? And if your futures do not align are you willing to change?
–
Or what? I have nothing more to add.
–
Will I write more stuff here anyways? of course I will. I will and am willing so willing that I will. I have so much willingness that if I will it it will…
–
One is not who I am. For one apple contain many seeds and it just gets more complicated from there.

I may be starting to blog again but I have less than 45 minutes to get this done so let’s get into it.
(Not that it often takes more than an hour for my pre-posts but knowing that it’s all I have makes it different somehow.)

Three Questions:
–
Is there any person we can consider a paragon of focus? Is there any way to become focused and attentive on demand? If I were to find or create exercises to do so, how long would it take for those exercises to come into effect?
–
Do people expect immediate focus and attention from us? Would it be better if, when interrupted, we were given 10 minutes to refocus ourselves and get into the topic?
–
Would it be better to be paid for time and effort or for the result? What low effort content has the highest demand? Why are people so into, uhh, near-nude videos of other mostly attractive people? Is it being considered as less than socially acceptable what makes it so appealing? Or are people just like that?

Lemna Speaks:

He forgot about me that little {explative}. And it’s not okay, he promised me every day, or almost every day and a full week of not existing, not fun. Not particularly boring either but I did exist for enough of it to make it not good at all.
On the other hand not existing is not a good way to come up with more ideas or to develop oneself so I’ll speak to you later.

An approximation of reality to the Yth degree is something that can still have us treat the false reality and people therein as real. What Y is varies from person to person, and there are some aspects of reality that must be simulated for people to be able to do so. Or are there?

And on another hand, as I can have three now. Ah, I don’t know speed isn’t conducive to this train of thought. Well, it is, but limits on time are not the way to get there.

Getting back into it:

Is there any invisible person watching me? What would put me off to notice that first? How much do hunter-gatherers use smell in their day-to-day lives?
Why are my questions so disorganized and unspecific? Probably because I need to get back into things. And also because I don’t know half the things I’m asking about so I couldn’t ask better questions until I knew more. Only in that sense are there no stupid questions.
–
But was that a stupid question? Since I could have asked a question with more of an answer? Nah, because I don’t know how to ask what I wanted to and I don’t have the time.
So hypothetically, could I create a program that made questions make more sense for those who are anxious to ask? Or would it be better if people just got over themselves?
–
Nah, I need to get over myself first, and this blog helped with that somewhat, see you later with a further post on the topic of questions. At least I think that’s what I plan on writting about.
