Unfortunately, the hoped-for day when philosophy will be “discussed in terms of investigation rather than controversy, and philosophers, like scientists, be known by the topics they study rather than the views they hold” has not yet come.

Neuroscience-informed, unconventional learning strategies
Monday January 30, 2012
- “Interleaving” topics of study, rather than progressing through them linearly.
- Spacing out one’s studying (temporal and spatial):
“Bjork also recommends taking notes just after class, rather than during — forcing yourself to recall a lecture’s information is more effective than simply copying it from a blackboard.”

“Only a man would knit a hammock with shovel handles for needles and manila rope for yarn.”
Reflect on everything, regret nothing.

Ada dont talk about reasons why you dont want to talk about reasons
why you dont wanna talk
Now that you got everybody you consider sharp
all alone, all together, all together in the dark
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air
Ada put the sounds of your house in a song
try to be speechless for a minute
if you think you gonna faint go out in the hallway
let them all have your neck
Ada dont stay in the lake too long
it lives alone and it barely knows you
itll have a nervous breakdown and fall
into a thousand pieces around you
Stand inside an empty tuxedo with grapes in my mouth
waiting for Ada
Ada hold onto yourself by the sleeves
I think everything counts a little more than we think
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air
Ada Ada Ada Ada
Ada I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall
Ada dont talk about reasons why you dont want to talk about reasons
why you dont wanna talk
now that you got everybody you consider sharp
all alone, all together, all together in the dark
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air
leave it all up in the air
Ada Ada Ada Ada
Ada I can hear the sound of your laugh through the wall
Ada Ada Ada Ada
Ada, Ive been hoping you know your way around

Don’t get me wrong, internet censorship is a huge deal, but i wish people paid a little bit more attention to the fact that Obama rejected the Keystone XL Pipeline today. Though TransCanada is going to chart a new route so that the pipeline won’t go straight through Ogallala Aquifer and the…
Obama may have waited until today to veto the bill precisely because it’s largely overshadowed by the SOPA/PIPA stuff. Though it needed to be done, the decision has more potential to be politically damaging than anything else.

Steamed Egg.
This is INCREDIBLY fast and easy and delicious. Beat an egg in a microwaveable bowl until all the whites are broken up, with a pinch of salt. Add water to the bowl until 3/4ths full or so. The amount of water doesn’t matter, but just beat it until its homogenized. Microwave two minutes.
If you add just the right amount of water, the egg will be perfectly soft, melt in your mouth 鸡蛋羹, almost resembling 豆腐花/豆腐脑 (silken tofu). Add not enough water, and it’ll just be a drier 계란찜. If you add too much water, forget the salt, or don’t beat it enough, the proteins won’t coagulate properly and you get egg drop soup =(
Serve with soy sauce.Fun biochem fact: Eggs have zero carbs, so it won’t trigger insulin release, so your body will continue to burn fat instead of sugar!
This is almost too easy. Maybe it’s just because I didn’t add enough water, but some of the egg did cake onto the sides of the bowl. Also, the salt granules I added didn’t really dissolve, so next time I’ll skip them and possibly add soy sauce prior to microwaving as a substitute.
