Anthology of Ideas

I’ve linked to TED for quite a while in my sidebar and I urge everyone to subscribe to TED’s video RSS feed if you are even remotely concerned about the world and people around you. TED talks tends to focus on the grand scheme of things, but this talk by Yossi Vardi talks focuses acutely on the local issues that plague many bloggers. The topic of this talk effects at least 50% of bloggers and all bloggers who care about the future of the world should not only watch this video, but also take immediate action.

Yup, it is that time again. The time when everybody looks back and things about what they have done in the last year. When everyone gets to relax. When everyone is filled with the spirit of happiness and brotherly love. When everyone can sit back and relax in what they have done well so far this year. So in this spirit I’d like to wish everyone a happy end-of-semester. For anyone in higher education this time of year is not marked by commercialism or religious holidays: it is marked by the passing of courses, the giving of grades and the knowledge that you have done a good job and that you have done the impossible: you have survived another semester.

Statistics states that the group tends towards the medium. Thankfully, this person is not within the group or the average IQ of the entire world would be quite-a-bit lower.

(I would watch out though…the automatic code they use for the widget includes spam links.)

Although I know I should be doing something constructive, I don’t know what I should do that is constructive, so I am doing nothing constructive because I can’t think of what I should be doing that is constructive, and I am just sitting here doing something not constructive to avoid thinking of a constructive thing I could be doing, so I would be spending my time doing something constructive, but I want to be doing something constructive even though I am not trying to be doing something constructive, thus I am trying not to be doing something that I could do that is constructive, and although I know I should be doing something constructive, I don’t know what I should do that is constructive, so I am doing nothing constructive because I can’t think of what I should be doing that is constructive, and I am just sitting here doing something not constructive to avoid thinking of a constructive thing I could be doing, so I would be spending my time doing something constructive, but I want to be doing something constructive even though I am not trying to be doing something constructive, thus I am trying not to be doing something that I could do that is constructive… Ever had one of those days?

Yah, not much you can say about that.
