I didn't do well in my physics degree (undiagnosed / unsupported disabilities are difficult, wow). I have to wonder if observation of events without intending them to happen might help (in some way).
Like, if I look at my cats, the photons reflecting off their fur would have been heading toward my retina anyway. I just turned my head to pick them up.
I guess this would be more like if I note observations without looking for certain things? That sounds like it would introduce a *lot* of cognitive biases tho. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDIExJoVwWU -

(That doesn't mean you're responsible for a shit hand at cards, or a corrupt dealer, or a table of people who don't care. It just means you can pick which if any cards you play, which direction you flip the table, or whether you leave the game to go draw landscapes in sand.)
"Gone" as in unrecognisable, yes. "Gone" as in societal collapse in multiple fields, maybe not. I'm not a historian, but I wonder how people living in the british isles fared after the collapse of the (notably hierarchical and horrifically unequal) roman empire. There are (or were, anyway) still aqueducts, roads, etc.I know it feels easier to accept bad news in advance, but don't suffer the arrow strike before it happens. If you can't dodge fully, you can still impact where it hits and what you do after. You can use that experience to protect other people from arrows.
I'd also love an infographic or image set of the graphs.
(With informative alt text, so everyone can access them. Not just sensory impairments like sight or hearing, but also easier for people who speak different languages: having text you can copy-paste into a translator or look up word by word in context is very helpful.)- YouTube

I'm Buddhist now? Chan Buddhism or Zen Buddhism or whatever, with Dtaoism in there cuz it *still* sounds like physics to me.
(No Confucianism because I do not comprehend the use of strict hierarchies outside an acute immediate crisis. That said, I'm very not an expert. No reason for gender binaries though. You're a damn person, ffs. You matter.)I never understood people who convert between religions as if it's a choice. I mean no harm, but it feels more like realising you're queer.
E.g. I'm bisexual (or whatever, I don't care) so adults can be hot whatever their body shape and apparel.For this, a need to find precise accuracy and accept limits of measurement are what drive me. Still grateful to Mr [Redacted] for lending me that book on Taoism.
(I really hope OpSec isn't required here and I swear to fuck this was decades ago but JUST IN CASE.) -

(Soooooo)
SO many horror stories about abuses of power etc, but he was so down to Earth, treated us like humans, and never seemed to want anything from us except to find personal contentment.I don't remember specifics at this point, but his vibe was:
Not mad if we didn't do our homework. Just ask how things were at home and if we wanted time to see the school counsellor.Fuck, if I ever become a parent, carer, or community pibling (Auntie / Uncle but enby), I hope to be chill like that. So gd unassuming.
