I sometimes finding myself saying that the majority of the people in the world are “stupid”. I now realize that since “stupid” is a relative term, as in, one person is “stupider” than another and that there is no precise definition of “stupid”, then my statement doesn’t make sense.

On Racism:

Definition: a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one’s own race is superior and has the right to rule others.

First off, I disagree with the definition regarding the superior nature portion – specifically I think of racism in broader terms, specifically an abstraction of a trait applied to a particular race – negatively or positively. Secondly it should be noted that there is no clear definition of what a race is from Anthropology. Here are some general notes:

Sometimes I think that suicide is always the wrong answer, and sometimes I don’t. Is there really much difference if you live 30 years or 60 years? Is it better to go out with a bang (suicide) while doing something heroic vs. avoiding danger and living until you die of old age?

You’ve probably heard the saying that you should enjoy the down times in life because they make the up times sweeter. Well, I think I’m getting stuck in the opposite – my up times are so fantastic that the rest of the time, my normal days have become so drab and boring that it often feels painful.
