Beings of lesser intelligence may often mistakenly think they are more intelligent than or as intelligent as beings of much greater intelligence.

The Struggle Between Love And Hate
I like how the world as a whole and all of the kindly performative and emotionally authentic humans currently living and existing within it are both way too mean and way too nice at the same time, theoretically creating a constant struggle between peaceful love and selfish hate.
Could iPad Apps Come To Macs?
Since MacBook Neo got A18 Pro, iPad Air and Pro have M1 and later, and touch is likely coming to MacBooks, I wonder if Apple might merge iPadOS into macOS, allow all iPad apps on all Macs, and have macOS install on iPads other than mini that have 128GB and M2, A18 Pro, or better.

Be Careful What You Swish For Act
I wonder if more NBA rules created to discourage rebuilding and tanking results in "perverse incentives", and that reversing course to completely remove both the draft lottery and play-in tournament might be the simplest, best, or most natural order.
Draft
- Flagg 1 (12th Last)
- Risacher 1 (10th Last)
- Wemby 1, Harper 2, Castle 4
- Cade 1, Ausar 5, Ivey 5
- Tatum 3, Brown 3, Smart 6
- Wade 5, *James 1, *Bosh 4
- Jordan 3, Pippen 5, Grant 10
- Magic 1, Worthy 1, *Kareem 1
While the current NBA rule changes with the draft lottery and play-in tournament, as well as any further flattening of the draft lottery odds or other rule changes, are an attempt to combat a team rebuilding with homegrown talent and tanking or losing some games some years, it's possible the effects of these changes are worse and with other unexpected and negative consequences and natural reactions by teams that we have seen. It may be that great teams of the present and past had often naturally rebuilt to get one or two high draft picks or the possibility of a star player, and then they would go on to win or try to win for many years, including many of the top ranked, successful, and championship level teams of the past.

Antichrist Television Blues Is Underrated
It was really hard choosing Power Out as the song I might share from Arcade Fire's first two albums, and admitting Funeral might be more popular for a reason, even though Neon Bible and Antichrist Television Blues were my firsts and favorites for years.
Make Dreams For The Whole Team
I think we might need to make a world where everyone on the team building houses, nursing people, digging ditches, teaching children, or doing any other work reaches the dreams too, not just rich individual entertainers, athletes, technologists, entrepreneurs, and capitalists.
Famous Buddha Paradox
If Buddha was content doing nothing, then "Why is Buddha so famous?"
- If Buddha thought that living a life in which you don't need to do anything, make any improvements, or strive for any purpose was most rewarding or the best way to live, then why is he so famous and how did he produce many teachings which are so well-known?
- Could it be because he followed his passions, sometimes strived to make things better with his ideas, found ways to potentially be of service for others, spent time doing and working on things he enjoyed, and even gained recognition from others for his work?
- If Buddha was truly happy and content with just existing, meditating, and sitting in nature all of the time, then I wonder if we would not know him at all, let alone recognize him as such a famous and great writer, teacher, and philosopher.
- I wonder if he may have really enjoyed his purpose or role as a teacher and philosopher, and spent a good deal of time learning and teaching how to live a better life, which resulted in him creating and writing many teachings on enlightenment and other ideas.
- I admit my ignorance that I am not a master scholar of Buddha's teachings. Of course I understand he taught many different ideas including the Middle Way of finding a balance, and I know that he didn't actually teach everyone to just "sit in nature all day".
- This was simply inspired by my ignorant image of him sitting in nature all day being content, and wondering if he might not be so famous if he did not follow his own passions and get some enjoyment from or even attachment to the purposes, roles, practices, or habits he did in his life.

The Age Of Yin
An abundancy of yin there may now currently be, and vivacity of yang we might not truthfully see.
Thanks ESPN NBA Today Crew
Thank you for your hard work, enjoyable entertainment, childlike joy, fun jokes, and the great trade deadline show everyone! You are all incredible people in your own way who should be very proud of yourselves for all you are doing to make basketball fun and happier for everyone.
Raptors Need PG Upgrade?
Hey Raptors Report.
Thanks a lot for replying to me and others, and sharing your thoughts and evaluation on Quickley and everything else, it's so enjoyable to listen to such an intelligent and well researched person like you talk about Raptors and basketball! Again, I admit I didn't even watch this particular video so I'm not debating specific things you said in it, and for instance upgrading to prime Curry straight up from Quickley might be worth it.
While I'm nitpicking words a bit, one thing I have learned to try and do is to not assume what others are thinking or that everyone sees things the same as I do or the current consensus does. As an example, there may be people that might not even recognize Quickley as struggling much this year, and might evaluate the situation differently. Because of adding Ingram he is the 4th option on the team and is playing unselfish, he's shooting a career high 52% 2PT, a respectable 36% 3PT the same as LaMelo Ball, an excellent and career high 3.7/1 AST/TO, a career high 1.3 STL, he plays much harder on defense and makes less money than many PG who one might consider upgrades, and he has a solid 17 PPG, which is lower because of him being the 4th option and not taking way more shots or steal the ball away from RJ more like VanVleet would have done.
Maybe We're Too Repressed?
You know that Michael Jackson song Man In The Mirror where he matures and realizes he shouldn't be a selfish jerk? I feel kind of like that, but more like I'm part of the problem of the world being so repressed, trying to be perfect, and not letting loose and having fun anymore.
Touch Someone More Often
I wonder if the world might be better and happier if people had much more physical affection and sexual experiences in a safe and caring way without going long without any, possibly with women choosing this and lowering their expectations without pressures like money or marriage.
Simplify Roles To Amplify Goals
Here's my idea to help turn Gradey into his own version of Slim Shady, with him coming back strong in a different gear after starting off wrong in a difficult year.
- I like how Darko Rajakovic seems to talk quite a bit about and appears to work very diligently to always develop all facets of all player's games constantly, and I'm sure that strategy and focus has payed huge dividends in many players reaching their long-term potential.
- I wonder if a bit more balance towards simplification of a player's role might be good at certain times or years. Mainly, I wonder if having Gradey Dick simplify his game to focus on shooting for the next 1.5 seasons might make sense now, with less dribbling, scoring, passing.

How Times Have Changed
How times have changed. A joyous, funny, and rich black man having the time of his life chilling and laughing at an angry, hard working, and unfairly treated white man. *Yes I know Steve Kerr is also rich and not really unfairly treated, but check out this Snoop Dogg master call*
The Greatest Teacher, Failure Is

Make Foldable Phone Wider And Shorter
For anyone who hasn't realized it, like people enjoying the overly complicated tri-fold phone, you could make a regular foldable phone with a wider aspect ratio on the inside screen like an iPad mini or eReader by making the phone wider and shorter on the outside screen.
