It’s interesting that I just read some stuff about information overload and going on an “information diet” (because I just realized that I might be suffering from some sort of infoholicism) and then stumbled across this blog. With the information of the world quite literally “at our fingertips” I think a lot of us go into this mode of “well, the information is out there so I guess I should find it” attitude. I am a student at heart. I love to learn and talk to people but because the internet is such an easy tool to acquire information I have found that I and probably most other people go to it more often to gain information than by simply having conversations with people or reading a book that explores the topic deeper or just getting out of our houses or apartments and taking action. It’s gotten to the point in our society that the quantity of information is more important than the quality.

I guess I kind of went off subject. But my point is that this “low-quality” information that we receive on a daily basis I think comes from questions like “Why can’t I/we/our country ever do this?”, “Why does this always happen to me/us/our country?” , “Why do I/we/Americans always screw this up?”, or “Are we there yet?” and not from questions that will actually produce results.

I found this post very helpful. Mostly because I don’t even think people realize they do this! I know I am constantly telling myself how retarded I am…and it’s not that I think I’m retarded or too stupid to do whatever it is i’m trying to do. I think it’s has to do with my nerves or some twisted stress reliever.
After a while (as sad as this is) it just becomes a habit for most. Although sometimes I’ve got to chuckle at myself for this weird habit. I’ve got to say I’ve never found inspiring or creative insight by calling myself a retard….is there a connection?

BTW- I took your advice on the blogging…and although I haven’t found my knack just yet, I am so glad to take that first step and start writing my online journal. Thanks Vlad! U ROCK!

“So, what problem can you use this on right now?”

This question assumes there is a problem, right now!
Don’t you have a better question?

“build a huge reflective surface, then put it on a space ship, shoot it into space and place it between the Sun and the Earth. No more warmth from the Sun!”

They tried that in an episode of Futurama, a rock colided with the sheild and changed its angel so that it actually increased the suns power
