Quickly, before I go…
I figured a while ago I must only remember like 5% or probably less, of all the thoughts I have in a day. Like all that bullshit you think is like really nifty ifty and cool and important, is forgotten. I write down a lot of my things now in ….
The, NOT A, (fucking hell if you think it’s A!) Notebook of miscellaneous nature.
Yeah, and it’s like “I wrote this down! Now it’s not forgotten!”
But tumblr is becoming that to a lot of people.
Back to the point!
You only remember like <5% of what you think in a day, so, like, that sounds pretty mindblowing kind of. Like the sort of shit you’d say in a conversation with someone to impress them with your knowledge.
And they ask “How do you know that!?”, and you say “I read it in an online article by this bio-chemist!”
Sounds legit.
But if I just say that, and start using it as fact, no one’s gonna question me, they’re no fucking scientist.
The point is, that I, by just stating this, could easily save some university months of research time to find out what I just said. So what if it turns out to be 1%? You think that someone’s gonna give a flying fuck about +/- 4%? Piss off.
If everyone listens to me, I just saved the world a shitton of our brightest minds, and resources. You’re welcome.
