People say things like "enjoy the rest of *your* day" as if you have a different day "have *a* nice day" as if there are more than one day you could have.
We are all on the same rotating planet, chained to the same arrow of causality; we all experience the same inevitable day.
Enjoy *this* day!
If you shoot for the moon and miss, you won't end up near any stars. Stars are millions of miles away. You'll end up lost in space.
Good luck.

Had an interesting conversation with an AI today about human behavior, and it came up with this perfectly poignant (and hilarious) analogy! So true for so many things. Thanks, Gemini! 
@tante Wait, your suggestion is to change the narrative? Let me think of a synonym for narrative. Oh I know! Message! #DeepThoughts
It turns out that to plan a garden, you have to think in 4D: not just how much space the plants take up and how tall they'll get, but how they'll grow over time. And it's not so straightforward because they affect each others' growth: plants in the shade of other plants will grow differently than if they're in the sun, etc. Vining plants can crowd out and stifle other plants. And some plants improve soil quality around themselves, so they can boost the growth of their neighbors.
Ultimately you're making a home for a bunch of living beings who don't move by getting up and walking, but by creating more of their own bodies in the direction of the resources they need.
Maybe I've been sitting in the forest too long, but gardening remains fascinating to me.

I was just reading something about ghosts and it dawned on me that.. ya never see people finding ghosts that speak other languages.. and.. statistically speaking.. that's pretty unlikely..

Intelligent people aren't blessed.
They're cursed with clarity.
While others blissfully regurgitate third-hand opinions over coffee machines, the intelligent sit silently. Watching your house of cards collapse in slow motion. They see every missing piece, every shortcut, every "good enough" buried under "we don't do perfection".
You call it overthinking, as you can't catch up.
They call it surviving the inevitable chaos you refuse to see.
They usually don't talk much.
Not because they're shy,
but because your noise hurts their logic.
You hired them to solve problems.
So let them finish.
Don't micromanage the mechanic fixing your brakes at 200km/h.
Give them space.
And watch them quietly drag your company into a future
you're not even equipped to imagine.
Painful brilliance produces systems that don't scream at 3am.
Let them work.

It's kinda weird that people can be #illiterate AND use a smartphone.
I emailed Neil Tyson Degrasse asking him if lasagna crosses the event horizon of a black hole does it become spaghetti?
Just nerdy stuff..
The Big bang happened 13.8 billion years ago.
Because of the expansion of space the actual radius of the universe is around 46 billion light years.
Angular calculations from the microwave background show the actual size of the universe at least 500 times larger.
This leads me to believe the Big bang was actually a perturbation in a much grander scale of things.

Ya ever wonder why we're the only animals that need toilet paper?
Never thought of it like that but yes, I believe Walt was correct.
