Holy smokes! The blog is becoming very influential! After I wrote yesterday's entry, Huffington Post followed up with a post of its own this morning talking about eugenics and intuition. In an article titled "Trust Your Gut to Pick Your Partner," the authors say:
This "gut feeling" or intuition actually has physiological basis. Our brain and our gut originate from the same tissue and remain connected by the vagus nerve. They are communicating in the subconscious and sending information to our conscious. Nature has given us our gut feeling as an important tool for survival. However, we are socially conditioned from an early age to utilize reason rather than trusting our gut, especially if there is enough time to analyze the situation.
We can learn to trust our gut. Just like anything else it takes practice. Becoming conscious of when your intuition is right will give you the proof you need to build that trust.
I don't know if this can be considered outright plagiarism, but you might get booted from a freshman English course for it. I will choose, however, to take it as a form of flattery rather than get all up in a huff about it. Truly, though, if they want my stuff, they should pay me. Perhaps they don't like my politics.
I was given a new iPad yesterday and was appropriately excited. And I still may be in the future, but suddenly I just feel overwhelmed by all the technology at my fingertips. I have an old iPhone that Q gave to me so you would think that operating the iPad would be no problem since it is virtually a big iPhone without the phone. But I have to learn how to use it. I go through the manual and clumsily type in internet addresses, and suddenly, an hour is gone. I will have to go through and pick out apps to download, etc. And I have the new old Kindle. A MacBook Pro. Digital cameras of several kinds. Video cameras. And software editing programs up the kazoo. I have so many things, I don't have time to really use them to a full extent. Hell of a thing, isn't it?
I feel like Professor Gadget.
Trust your tug to pick your partner.
ReplyDeleteI merely felt bad that nobody had agreed with your choice. White people... what can you do...?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean, "nobody agreed with my choice"? What choice. I can only assume that you mean that the women I have chosen in my life did not agree with my choice.
ReplyDeleteEventually, that was true. About that, you are factually correct.
I thought that you were presenting the picture as "your type," and nobody had responded. I've come to depend on the comments section a bit. It worries me when nobody responds, gives me that awkward, "nobody's saying anything" feeling.
