Thinker. No Brainier.

Hello Friends,
It's been a while since my last post. Today I wanted to discuss the vastly inconsistent performance level of the human mind.

The past few days I feel I ventured about some of my intellectual peaks. I've had lengthy discussions on the existence of God and its supposed omnipotence being non-responsive to human interpretations of the universe, the need for religion anyway as long as it spreads compassion and fulfills people, and, similarly, the importance of seeing identifiable characters to yourself in pop culture to affirm the value of your life.
For you music people- at a rehearsal the keyboard was playing in the wrong key and I correctly identified that it was a step too high even though no one else, including the music director, had noticed.

In contrast to this, I walked past the first set of automatic doors at Rosauers and was halted by what was seemingly a very stubborn second set of doors. The glass would not open! It wasn't until I got a sneering look from a nearby employee that I realized I was standing in front of a solid piece of glass while the doors directly adjacent to me were opening and closing furiously at my stupidity.

The point: The human mind is at a stroke capable of great intellectual depth and ingenuity and at another one so inept that it paralyzes you to give grocery store workers an amusing respite from their mundane job.

Stupidly yours,
Jamin
