Lists

I make lists. Compulsively. Part of my relationship with writing is the desire to preserve information. Looking back I see no throughline because I forget. I forget things that shouldn't be forgotten.

And so I write things down before they're gone. Albums to buy, movies to watch, groceries. Phrases. Behavioral protocols. Workout plans. Gift ideas. Symbols. Quotations. I even keep lists of things I want to spend time thinking about later. Really process and possess. Here are some of those things:

• Social Deviance - flaunting of norms is the staple of the ego complex
• Heteroglossia - the coexistance of multiple narrative voices decentralizing authority
• Homophily - tendency to associate with those who are similar and reinforce preexisting beliefs
• Rehearsal - relationship between psychopathy and rehearsal
• Hegelian Cycle - thesis, antithesis, synthesis
• Foxes vs. Hedgehogs - I have no idea what this was about
• Neil deGrasse Tyson - "History is replete with people attempting to layer their own philosophical elegance onto the Universe."
• Galvanism - ancient theory about the possible electrical basis of nerve impulses
• Stendhal Syndrome - psychosomatic illness resulting from exposure to art or beauty
• Gödel's incompleteness theorems - any system that does not contradict itself is inherently incomplete. There is no complete model
