Dragon Headed Research;Notes 11/9/21 – The Thunderous Roar of “Systemic” Attempts to Mend Social Competence

That last post was pretty intense, wasn’t it? I think I’ll take it down a notch. Sit down and listen. I’m sure you’ve heard about those “systemic -isms” that have been going on. Yeah, they’re pretty terrible, no doubt. And you’ve got to be familiar with the opinions about the word. Most say it’s eitherContinue reading “Dragon Headed Research;Notes 11/9/21 – The Thunderous Roar of “Systemic” Attempts to Mend Social Competence”

Dragon-Headed Research;Notes 11/8/21 – Egregious Ethical Accusations are as Gratifying as Winning at Space Invaders!

Tell me, stranger. Beautiful stranger. Have you ever heard of an arcade game called Space Invaders? I had it on a keychain when I was 10. They referenced it on Futurama. You see, the tricky thing about Space Invaders is that you can’t just shoot the aliens where they are. You have to shoot themContinue reading “Dragon-Headed Research;Notes 11/8/21 – Egregious Ethical Accusations are as Gratifying as Winning at Space Invaders!”

Dragon Headed Research;Notes 11/5/21 – Super Awful People Possess Magical Voting Booth Energy

Election day was a few days ago……as usual, I went to vote, despite not having too much passion about the race. There’s just something really beautiful about it. It fits perfectly into the paradigm I’ve laid out. It’s a way to satisfy myself in a way I already understand, though few seem to get. I’mContinue reading “Dragon Headed Research;Notes 11/5/21 – Super Awful People Possess Magical Voting Booth Energy”

Dragon-Headed Research;Notes 10/25/21- The Useful, Creepy Vanity of to-do Lists

When I was a lot younger….not that I’m not still kind of young… I used to write several tasks to do on my calendar. It was college-y. It was adult-ish. It was a time when I was changing a lot. Validating things were happening. I was also kind of in a very strange higher educationalContinue reading “Dragon-Headed Research;Notes 10/25/21- The Useful, Creepy Vanity of to-do Lists”

Dragon-Headed Research;Notes 10/24/21- The Supreme Court Tugs on Your Heart with Delicious Neutrality

You’ve heard of the Supreme Court, right? I mean, every American should know at least. Nine very, very important people, dealing with matters where laws…..start to fuck up very, very intricately. When the cards fall just right, matters within the 50 states are allowed to escalate, and become federal….or something like that. While I can’tContinue reading “Dragon-Headed Research;Notes 10/24/21- The Supreme Court Tugs on Your Heart with Delicious Neutrality”

Dragon-Headed Research;Notes 10/19/21 – Writing is a Dragon, Flying in a Circle, Bold and Vulnerable

Goooood afternoon ladies and gentlemen. I can confidently say that I have written about anything as deep or valuable as I possibly could on my blog. However….I’m taking viability into account. I’m taking cultural osmosis into account. You know, I still want to live the fantasy of people reading this and gaining from it. I’veContinue reading “Dragon-Headed Research;Notes 10/19/21 – Writing is a Dragon, Flying in a Circle, Bold and Vulnerable”

THE HUNTERIAN OPIATE 9/15/21 – The Affectionate Spoiling of the Joys of Domino Art (a scientific smack of worldpeace)

Have you seen those domino art videos? They’re really fun, they’re really cool. I like watching dominoes smash into each other. It’s neat, it’s messy. It’s chaos controlled. It’s form and function. Domino art is somebody creating an extension of themselves. To give them credit for the dominoes is really appropriate and ridiculous at once.Continue reading “THE HUNTERIAN OPIATE 9/15/21 – The Affectionate Spoiling of the Joys of Domino Art (a scientific smack of worldpeace)”

L1’s Almanac – Why Trying to be Socially Competent is Like a Game Show Where You Jump Through Stupid Foam Cutouts

Have you seen the game show Hole in the Wall? People have to fits themselves through a space in a wall that is supposedly made just for them as it glides down an alley, or else you are dumped into the water. It’s a show that makes me smile, so silly, so endearing. But why?Continue reading “L1’s Almanac – Why Trying to be Socially Competent is Like a Game Show Where You Jump Through Stupid Foam Cutouts”

[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – The Electric Desk Fan Button Situation Theorem (A Solution for Humanity)

There’s an electric fan on my desk.  I use it very often. I get warm, even in winter. You turn it on by pushing down a button. It makes a click when you push it. But if you don’t push down all the way, the fan still activates. The click I associated with the fanContinue reading “[Purpose-Result Friction] Theory Diaries – The Electric Desk Fan Button Situation Theorem (A Solution for Humanity)”

Cultural Rave- This One’s About Hugh Mungus and Dunkin’ Donuts

A donut store, a coffee shop, a food-eating place, decides to boldly sever a part of its name. Left without the thing that made it what it is, it acts disconnected, though not quite, from much of what made it so successful. Strangely endearing, strangely frustrating, to try and refine one’s image by conforming toContinue reading “Cultural Rave- This One’s About Hugh Mungus and Dunkin’ Donuts”
