The original post (linked above) included a list of musing ideas to help others get a feel for what I mean by “random thoughts”. The format of that didn’t quite fit in the post above, so I’ll include them here:
More Musing Ideas
Why am I feeling sad lately?
Why do we see sunsets as beautiful?
Second-guessing [prior topic]
What function does the press fulfill in society?
Why is that valuable?
How could that value be measured?
What is the single, smallest change I could make to the U.S. constitution to have the biggest impact on the problems I see?
Do stories follow mathematical laws?
What would that mean for us?
How could such a thing be measured?
How come we seem to intuit these laws?
What is math?
Is [current stress point] a long-term problem or a temporary one?
What is the cognitive purpose of stereotypes?
What would it feel like to live 10,000 years ago?
Let’s try to comprehend the fullness of human history!
I had an idea for a cool—but probably useless—invention!
