Cognitive development, Les Mis, the trouble with proper nounds, music vs learning a foreign lang, massages...mmmm

Piaget's cognitive development stages, fantasy vs. reality, why someone would destroy their home and negative sublimation, compartmentalizing memory/thoughts, how my hands look and feel like I punched some glass (thank you, antibacterial handsoap) and how convenience will be the death of the modern world, the two justice systems in Les Mis, evolution and progression of thinking vs the material realm, poets and their ability to make complex connections in a simple way, the Liar's Paradox, NDE's, signs of intellectual advancement, the Stockholm Syndrome, Tagore poems, how our language development (and the process of creating written language) affected our cognitive development and vice versa (specifically in abstract thinking), how to prevent vengeance for perceived slights, whether or not to accept an offer to be a writer for a philosophy magazine, social systems, how everyone sees problems but not necessarily solutions, human "flaws", how and why people develop cognitively at different levels, the impact of a proper noun and the extra knowledge it requires to understand it, how learning to speak Danish reminds me of the time I tried to learn how to play saxophone (the embouchure is more relaxed than clarinet in the same way that the pronunciation of words seems more relaxed than English), the effects of technology on relationships, the strategic mind vs the creative mind, dynamic vs static characters, writing words vs. writing words and knowing what they do (in terms of storytelling), how I've started to enjoy evening jogs (thanks to Florida's Infinite Summer being on its way out), how caring about something or someone affects your focus, how there's something more connective and powerful about a massage that relies solely upon the use of someone's hands - not their elbows or their arms - but only their hands...and how it'd be nice to have 3 more brains to process all of this.
