This place, after all these years...is like the sofa in my living room.
I'm here...because I"m here.
People come and go, some I grow fond of some others not so much, sometimes we laugh, sometimes I watch quietly, it just is what it is, and it doesn't need to be anything at all.
IQ isn't really that important to me in a partner.
Emotional intelligence is though.
With emotional intelligence we gain the understanding that other's are not us, that they have had their own experiences, and that they may process and feel things(and about things) differently than we do. I find relationships with people who lack that understanding untenable.
"...the study showed that creativity is informed by a whole host of intellectual, emotional, motivational and moral characteristics. The common traits that people across all creative fields seemed to have in common were an openness to one’s inner life; a preference for complexity and ambiguity; an unusually high tolerance for disorder and disarray; the ability to extract order from chaos; independence; unconventionality; and a willingness to take risks.
Describing this hodgepodge of traits, Barron wrote that the creative genius was “both more primitive and more cultured, more destructive and more constructive, occasionally crazier and yet adamantly saner, than the average person.”
This new way of thinking about creative genius gave rise to some fascinating—and perplexing—contradictions. In a subsequent study of creative writers, Barron and Donald MacKinnon found that the average writer was in the top 15% of the general population on all measures of psychopathology. But strangely enough, they also found that creative writers scored extremely high on all measures of psychological health.
Why? Well, it seemed that creative people were more introspective. This led to increased self-awareness, including a greater familiarity with the darker and more uncomfortable parts of themselves. It may be because they engage with the full spectrum of life—both the dark and the light—that writers score high on some of the characteristics that our society tends to associate with mental illness. Conversely, this same propensity can lead them to become more grounded and self-aware. In openly and boldly confronting themselves and the world, creative-minded people seemed to find an unusual synthesis between healthy and “pathological” behaviors.
Such contradictions may be precisely what gives some people an intense inner drive to create. As psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi said after more than 30 years of observing creative people: “If I had to express in one word what makes their personalities different from others, it’s complexity. They show tendencies of thought and action that in most people are segregated. They contain contradictory extremes; instead of being an ‘individual,’ each of them is a ‘multitude.’”
I know cause I'm a psychic, but wait, wait...I'm not just a psychic I'm a psyhic-ismiatryology professor(I am, I am so...and yes it is a word. I mean it, it really really is I know cause I'm a english professor to!?!!)...and I'm not just a psyhic-ismiatryology professor I'm a DOCTOR of Psyhic-ismiatryology and, and, and I'm on a very very important committee that's revolutionaryizing how Psyhic-ismiatryology(and english) is taught.
...and I did it all with a painfully obvious sub 90 brain.
I'd be a genius, except for that not being a genius thing.
Exercises for coordination, finger independence, flexibility and strength.
Over time these will change what you can do, but in the short term they also take a lot of tension out of your hands and forearms which is relaxing and just feels nice.
It would be a fine system, if the benevolent overlords offered us up pointless no lose choices, but the overlords are not benevolent and the beast that is only as smart as the our average wont stop trying to bite it's own tail.
I don't hold other governments responsible for keeping there citizens home.
The US government doesn't own me, and I don't need their permission to leave. That's a bit to police/prison state for my taste.
If I want to leave that's a matter between myself and my destination country.
I don't hold Mexicans to a different standard than I would wish to be held to.
That said, I do understand there are some very predatory things happening to your people during illegal imigration, and would probably want those activities curtailed also, if I were in your position.
I feel what language american companies do business in, in Mexico is between you and them and not really a thing for me to get involved in. I understand were you're coming from, but the other side of that is I wouldn't be comfortable telling a spanish speaking small business here they "have" to hire english speaking people and run their business in english. Although I may require them to interact with government agencies in english.
There isn't going to be any wall, or any real effort to control immigration.
The talk is just political rhetoric.
We'd have some very serious food supply and general economic issues if we really deported all undocumented immigrants ands stop anymore from coming in.
Some of our agricultural southern states have made a little too much noise about deporting folks. The migratory workers went to other states instead and food rotted in the fields for want of labor to harvest it.
We're also not going to stop building factories and manufacturing goods in Mexico. We're not there for just the cheap labor, it's also a way around our evironmental protection laws.
