Create Folders In Google Docs
I think Google Docs and Sheets should both allow users to directly view, create, edit, and perform other actions on all folders and files within Google Drive, and display these folders as the primary tab or home page in the application, with recent documents a separate tab.
Change Dye & Durham Name
I wonder if Dye & Durham should change its name to a single, short, recognizable word that sounds like it's spelled, possibly with Inc or Software after brand name. I wonder if stock may have performed weakly at least partly due to the length and weakness of brand name.
Future Aliens Theory (Evolution)
Theory - There are currently no aliens, but humans may become the future aliens.
Currently there are no aliens that have travelled to Earth, but in the future humans may create alien races if they colonize other planets, which may evolve into completely new species with their own prerogatives, just as different species or human factions on Earth have done.

Make Together, Not Make Richer
Imagine if the world wasn't about making a few people rich and monetizing everything, which makes many experiences worse. We could just work together to make and do stuff people need or want, which serves a purpose and lasts the test of time, realizing everyone helps in their own way.
Tennis 5 Sets To 4 Games Act
I wonder if the grand slam or major tournaments in tennis should change to be a best of 5 sets to only 4 games per set, for both men and women.
What
- Play best of 5 sets to 4 games for men at major tournaments
- Play best of 5 sets to 4 games for women at majors as well
- All other rules including tiebreak lengths remain the same
- Regular tournaments can remain best of 3 sets to 6 games
- Maximum games for men would decrease from 60 to 40
- Maximum games for women would increase from 36 to 40
Why
- Men's matches at majors can be too long and boring to watch
- Service break in men's tennis can make 6 game sets predictable
- Men's majors are too physically demanding with 5 sets to 6 games
- Women may now be able to handle 5 set matches to 4 games
- Intensity of matches may increase due to breaks and shorter sets
- Men's and women's majors could have the exact same format
Dream Up A Better Way
I'm very intrigued by what a future society might look like, and what will keep those who are currently lucky enough to be smarter or stronger than others motivated, instead of profiting from others to get rich, when we make a better system than capitalism that benefits everyone.

Munro's Harder Saw
Designing software is harder than hardware because changing it is easier.
Designing simple and easy to use hardware is hard because changing it is harder, but designing simple and easy to use software is harder because changing it is easier.
Munro's Hard Saw
Designing usable software is hard because not using usable standards is easy.
Designing simple, consistent, and easy to use software is hard because carelessly changing or not using simple, consistent, and easy to use layouts and standards for software is easy.
Raptors Offseason Strategy Path 2026
Here is my overall strategy and roster construction ideas for the Toronto Raptors 2026 offseason and going forward, including possible lineup changes and potential trade ideas.
What
- Improve 3PT/FT shooting of all players around Barnes/Murray into future
- Improve height, rebounding, defense, and eventually 3PT shooting at center
- Center - Get tall starting center(s) to rebound and defend, hope 3PT potential
- Point - Get young backup or fringe PG that shoots 3PT, rebounds, passes
- Continue trading for young players to get team of 2-Way shooters/defenders
- Sign cheap centers if just rebounds/defense, play Murray/Barnes center rarely
Players
- Barrett - Trade for young prospect player(s), draft picks, maybe center
- Shead - Trade possibly and get a better shooting and rebounding PG
- Poeltl - Keep and move to bench to trade salary at future date, or use in trade
- Ingram - Keep for 3PT shooting, late clock scoring, and team consistency
- Walter - Promote to starting lineup at SG, Murray starters insurance 6th man
- Gradey - Keep as 11th guy, maybe don't extend, possibly trade at deadline
Munro's Short Law
Prefer labelling items using short or abbreviated words with 4-6 letters and 1-2 syllables.
Munro's 2-4-6 Law
Organize items into groups of exactly 2, 4, or 6 objects using separators or space.
We're Either Getting Better Or Worse?
It may not be that striving for goals, improving ourselves, finding a purpose, thinking positively, or getting better is necessarily important for us to be content, but that if we aren't striving to be better we may turn to negative actions and thoughts that make us unhappier.
Playoff Series Start In Game One
If a playoff series doesn't start until a team loses at home, then there would be playoff series that finished without starting, and therefore did not even happen. I know sayings aren't meant to be taken literally, but it's still odd one is so popular that's literally incorrect.
People Value Connection Over Truth?
I wonder if one reason becoming enlightened may be difficult is most people may value connection to others over truth, and as one may see things in their true light, most other people may resist change and cling to any current system or fictional beliefs they learned for harmony.
Simplify NBA Draft Lottery Act
I wonder if simplest NBA Draft Lottery rule change to quickly try would be to eliminate play-in tournament, and give equal odds to all 14 picks for all 14 non-playoff teams, even though I'm not sure it's fair to bottom teams or a great long-term solution.
Munro's Intelligence Rule
Beings of lesser intelligence may often mistakenly think they are more intelligent than or as intelligent as beings of much greater intelligence.
