Next Time You Stand In A Public Place Think About The Fact That Everyone Around You Have Sobbed Until

next time you stand in a public place think about the fact that everyone around you have sobbed until they felt they would break at least once in their life, every single one has been nervous, scared. they’ve all felt small once, insecure too. they’ve all felt so alone they thought their chest would cave in on itself, wishing someone would see them and hug them. they’ve laughed until their stomach cramped too, they’ve all seen or felt a sunset, they’ve all loved something or someone, they all want to be loved too. everyone else is a lot more human than we tend to give them credit for

students emailing teachers vs teachers responding.

me: oh, mighty professor, bearer of knowledge infinitely superior to mine, I humbly beg thee to answer my lowly cries for help interpreting the sacred texts which I, but a small pupil of your elite occupation, dutifully study at your excellency's demand. pray tell, will you condescend to clarify, when the moment pleases you, to which of my meager mathematical calculations does this elaborate visual diagram apply?

professor: 12 & 13 sry bout thst.

It’s okay if you can’t drive at the age you’re expected to by society. It’s not that simple for many of us, whether it be financial constraints, anxiety, or ability. Just because it’s normalized doesn’t mean it’s right.

what people think it means to be a scientist: “i have all the answers!”

what it actually means to be a scientist: “this is maybe the answer but i can’t say anything for sure because we don’t really know all that much, and even though statistics might be useful in determining our confidence in the significance of results, they often don’t capture the nuance of the actual data, which in turn doesn’t capture the nuance of real life, because the double-edged sword of controlled experiments is that these parameters don’t actually exist anywhere in nature, and they’re only implemented to manage the complexities of the world and to fit them into a model that we can actually test!! and all results are generalizations, when in fact, each case is unique and often unmeasurable. and most things we measure can’t be measured, so we have to fall back on proxies, which might not tell the whole story!! i don’t know anything!!! i mean, i can say this one specific thing with statistical confidence, but not with any real confidence??? i’m sorry???? also where’s the free coffee at this conference????”
