The really fun thing about having a brain that’s prone to spacing out is that sometimes you can remember the informational content of the blank spots with no autobiographical recollection to go with it.

Like, I’ll be thinking “where the hell is my hat?”, and the part of my brain that’s responsible for Facts will go “oh, it’s in the freezer chest downstairs”.

Why is it in the freezer chest downstairs?

How do I know this?

I haven’t a clue -- but the information is there!

Look at us, all making fun of housecats’ limited object permanence like we’ve never gone and looked for a lost and urgently needed object in the same place six separate times because, like, maybe it really was there and we somehow missed it the first five tries?

I have to use an electronic timer when I’m cooking even though I have an excellent sense of time under any other circumstance because the dumb goblin who lives in my brain thinks the food will be ready sooner if I count faster.

One teen’s unimaginable journey may blow his father’s thoughts… Fourteen-year-old Bernard thinks outdoors the field. The one drawback is that neither his college nor his ultra-rational physicist father admire his distinctive concepts. When he...

Can not wait to go to my English class today. I have loads to talk about from reading these articles. This is too real and EXACTLY how this society is and it’s burning a hole in me because I can’t let my thoughts out right now.

Why Music Makes Our Brain Sing

in a pitch deck in a prior life i wrote: "Music is the most powerful channel to your consumer (we command attention, naturally)". this article lays out why that is true. 

By ROBERT J. ZATORRE and VALORIE N. SALIMPOOR for New York Times

MUSIC is not tangible. You can’t eat it, drink it or mate with it. It doesn’t protect against the rain, wind or cold. It doesn’t vanquish predators or mend broken bones. And yet humans have always prized music — or well beyond prized, loved it.

In the modern age we spend great sums of money to attend concerts, download music files, play instruments and listen to our favorite artists whether we’re in a subway or salon. But even in Paleolithic times, people invested significant time and effort to create music, as the discovery of flutes carved from animal bones would suggest.
