“Are the arts important?” Humanity practiced them long before they had use for science and will practice them long after math is gone. Is the dawn important? Is dusk?

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.
yeah, just out of interest, how many people choose the pen on the right for real work or art? See a lot of them in professional workplaces, do you?

The images and stories coming out of Minneapolis are extraordinary. We can't say we did not know what was happening. Lots of people are putting their bodies on the line to make sure we do.

I recently discovered the term "external processor," and that I very much am one. I guess my ADHD-addled brain can't hold onto a thought long enough to really grasp what it's feeling or thinking. But I have been stunned by the mental clarity that can come out of my own mouth.

I'm a grown adult and a parent and I thought maybe one day I'd understand, but I still can't fathom any good reason that, in Home Alone 2, the McCallisters should have insisted that Kevin apologize to Buzz after he embarrassed Kevin during his solo 📽️
