Today’s new:
A devil-cat attempted to dismember my right index-finger.
In other news, a question (as always):
How is it that people who would be classed as highly educated and highly intelligent, find it so unfathomably difficult to think outside a small, stuffy box?
I’ve often heard it said that people who have had a classic education are the worst for being ignorant in other, more free-thinking areas but in my experience, particularly over the last year or so, I’ve been encouraged to think for myself, from other perspectives and from every possible angle - the more unique, the better - when it comes to organised and institutional education.
This contradiction has me entirely flummoxed - how is it possible to be so intelligent and so utterly stupid at the same time?
I am well aware that there are many types of intelligence, all of them differing greatly from the other, but there comes a point at which you expect quite a few of these types of intelligence to meet where they actually just…don’t. Like separate countries with vast oceans in between but none of these countries seems to have invented a boat compatible with the shore or port of any of the other countries.
And that’s another thing - every single thing/situation/argument/love in life can be compacted into a simple metaphor using different countries and elements of our world! No other metaphors need ever apply!
…except perhaps for the purpose of a little variation.
For now though, I should probably offski as my wounded, injured finger is throbbing like a bass-line at Fabric and I fear it may detach itself from my hand entirely.
Good-day to you all!
