It's not clear to me how one can make themselves dream. You can stimulate memories and recollection, induce emotional experience, and can initiate learning with known ways that work, even if the understanding of how they work isn'

Not only is it not about how something looks, but design under this premise sets you back. You are forced to make a conscious effort not to focus on looks to finally focus on how it works. You are better off without looks. I've heard o

What do you do when you don't have a sense of direction? I wish a todo list would make me do things I wouldn't dare do. Like things you don't usually write in a todo list.

Sometimes I wish comments were shorter so you could easily tell what's going on in a discussion. The parent comment says X, the one below says the opposite, and then someone says X again. Do people click and write mainly to get karma?
