Picture a meeting in which Robert's Rules of Disorder are used and where people are weighed, measured and fitted like the noble births of the middle ages.
I'm looking forward to the ending ages.
I attend college to collect knowledge. In MGMT I learned that "any human resource problem can be resolved if you can kill the employee". Perhaps I am taking it out of context as the professor drew parallels between The Heist and strawberry pickers - for there are parallels - but it may just be that there is truth to it. It worked for the mob and it works for the cartels now.
In history I learned that a kind word gets you pretty far in life. Al Capone said that you can get even further with a kind word and a gun in hand.
In quantum computing I've learned that my professor's shirt isn't yellow. Or it is yellow. It's yellow as a conventionally accepted truth but it isn't yellow as an absolute truth. This implies a localized truth a la Heller's twisted worlds. It is here that I also learned the benefits that cigar smoking has had on science and the advancement of a non-existent field of computer science - quantum computing. Contradictory I know but nonetheless both completely true and absolutely false.
I collect stories and from these stories - as I am learning now in my statistics class - we can derive something greater. If my stories are my sample I'm deducing the population.
[5:16:38 PM] Jocelyn says: know one of those song and dances where two people with the assistance of alcohol tell eachother things and it's all bullshit?
Yes. Yes I do. They happen every day. We love exercising the control that just the right combination of words and sentences afford us. A thrill to be so carefully splinter the others mind and tantalize them with a carefully afforded shyness. A coy word - tease - and a smile to make her swoon.
But he means it...
Yes he does. Sometimes. Most of the time our low RAM capacity is focused on keeping it all straight and not letting the house of cards illusion fall apart. Even without the social lubrication it can be difficult.
I also collect coins, currencies and watches.
