This one will be an amalgamation of shower-thought type-thoughts that I've come up with over the past few days.

(0 => 1) > (1 => 2)

Arithmetically the difference between one and zero is equal to the difference between two and one.

In life, though it may be bound by arithmetical laws, it seems that there is a differently nuanced take. The distance from zero to one is far greater than the distance from one to two.

Take, for example, the psychological effort spent on exams. If one were to take only one exam for the entirety of the course, there is much greater psycho-spiritual effort dedicated to that one exam. If for that same course there were two exams, the economist would say that 50% of the psycho-spiritual effort goes to the first exam and the other 50% goes to the second exam. Yet we humans can never be assumed to be ceteribus paribus. In practicality, once one has successfully sat the first exam, the second one comes easier. Thus, it is closer to a 75%-25% split of the psycho-spiritual effort applied toward that one class' exam.

In a non-academic context, the amount of work to go from being able to make zero flux capacitors to one flux capacitor is much greater than to go from being able to make one flux capacitor to being able to make two flux capacitors. I suppose that this is a logarithmic increase in production cost/effort/what-have-you.

This peculiar logarithm infuriates me. It seems that our lives are not arithmetical. I suppose that's why they don't stop when you've mastered long division.

Social Contact

We lack social contact. Yet our societies were built around it! I am structurally dissatisfied with the isolating mechanisms that I am systemically ingrained into. What would I give for a change! How can we deisolate ourselves?

Procrastination

I LOVE PROCRASTINATING THINGS THAT I NEED TO DO
