you are way more likely to have a minecraft lightning bolt summon some horsemen of the apocalypse than for it to hit a fucking creeper i swear to god
there really isn't any shame in math for the sake of math, but I now realize that even though I too enjoy the sensation of learning, the sensation of making money on a good application of math is much more gratifying
the joy of learning beats the feeling of making money on a bad application of math though, so keep that in mind
the joy of reducing suffering with a good application of math? fucking unbeatable
wait. silly moment. but I thought white matter and gray matter were only in your brain... but I just read that there's some white and gray matter that goes all the way down your spinal column? it's not only just threadlike nerve fibers in your spine, its brainlike tissue in the middle of the bone?? down your whole fucking back??? I didn't know that. that's unsettling
the brain isn't a raisin with a fist's-worth of handle, it's a raisin on a fucking pogo-stick
so wait. if theres brainlike tissue down there, can it think? ok maybe that's a weird question. if you removed it would you lose anything other than the ability to feel your limbs?
my little brother says the white and gray matters in your spine have longer neurons and the brain has denser neurons so it's not really built for cognitive function, just sensory transmission. which reveals how little I know about white and gray matter I guess. I thought they had uniform neuron densities and jobs
