So I think everybody has witnessed or participated in an argument between Europeans and Americans over something like imperial vs metric, DD/MM/YYYY vs MM/DD/YYYY, etc.

In these arguments, I concede, the Europeans are correct from a logical standpoint. America uses stupid measurement systems for most things.

However, we still find that Americans, even highly intelligent ones who may agree with the Europeans, will fiercely defend the imperial system and get very upset. Why is that?

Well, here’s my theory: We get mad in arguments like this because we’re getting called stupid for something we can’t control, even if we don’t realize that that’s why we’re mad.

So, the moral of this story: When it comes to debates like this online, and any argument, never assume somebody is stupid for circumstances out of their control. It is a sure fire way to lead yourself into a petty argument with an enraged human

3. Sibelius, Symphony No. 7

Istg I’ve never felt my imagination run like that, nor felt more relaxed in my life. I genuinely cannot recommend listening to good orchestral music in a room with minimal distractions and no visuals. It forced you to make your own visuals in your mind, and they are mystical.

Added some of my own ideas to the lore, with the idea that they’ve all been hired at VoxTek. Enjoy!
