Unless you have at least one unconventional idea, you are not a real thinker. You are, instead, a conformist in your opinions and ideas.
I like the quote from Benjamin Franklin: “When everyone is thinking alike, then no one is thinking.”
Insulin Spike
Just learned that vinegar reduces an insulin spike by de-activating an enzyme for breaking down carbs.
Sprouting
Proud of myself. With the help of 2 Youtube videos, I’ve successfully sprouted buckwheat groats.
Now the potential is leaving me almost breathless — quinoa, soy beans, beans in general, seeds galore, whatever.
I have my sprouting jars from Amazon with the special lids, and I’m ready to explore these new horizons in nutrition. Just need a little help from Youtube.
Animals Are US
Other animals are similar to humans in so many ways — digestion and microbiome, excretion, immune system, brain, arms and legs, mating, breathing and oxygen, exercise, musculature, family, stages of life, longevity, fear, emotion.
They are us, and we are them.
Currencies
People think it quaint Atlantic-coast Indians used shells for money, but we use merely paper and ink.
Decisions
Do you make decisions with your mind or your heart?
Student Loan Forgiveness
Loan forgiveness sets a terrible example. Implies that you can borrow money but don’t have to repay it. A better approach might be to allow early repayment that reduces the outstanding debt with a percentage increase in the debt retired, e.g., you repay $500 a month and this reduces your outstanding debt instead by $750 — an incentive to repay the debt early and get out from underneath faster.
Shoelaces
Humans have been to the moon and back, but are unable to create a shoelace that stays tied.
Military/Industrial Complex
The massive spending of the government on the Ukrainian war is just providing huge wealth to the military/industrial complex.
That segment of our economy was a key component before the Ukrainian war, but is becoming an even more dominant segment, which means our economy needs war to prosper.
Eisenhower will be rolling over in his grave.
Philosophy
Deal with it or it will deal with you.
