And I felt super similarly about a lot of mental illnesses and illnesses in general which is something I’ve been trying to uproot. Problems wre very real but they’re not discrete objects and terms for them are descriptions of clustered symptoms not necessarily of a single thing. Like I didn’t think I could have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome despite being chronically fatigued because… ā€œidk that’s a Syndrome they have to Test you for right?ā€ But it isn’t, it’s just a descriptor of clustered symptoms with VERY VARIABLE CAUSES. Not every medical problem is like a bacterial infection you can’t always class the Thing It Is

So whenever I see like a medical Object with fuzzy boundaries and no clear cause that’s super cemented in like culture. Like The Photographic Memory. I tend to question that these days. There’s much to question

It’s important to me it’s something I care about a lot. Because I always ignored all those symptoms as a kid because I thought I’d just know if I had ā€œinsomniaā€ or ā€œchronic fatigueā€ or whatever. But they’re super vague things! Obviously there’s plenty of Specific medical ailments out there, many many of them, but not all of them. Can’t paint them all with the same brush

This gouda is better than I remembered I think I was just expecting traitor joe’s but it isn’t that

I’m so jealous of people who can learn things by being guided through them. I’m watching cookie thread conversation right now and I’be realised I’ve essentially never been able to properly engage with somebody trying to teach me something

I’m too stubborn and all my embarrassment circuits turn on too fast and I just nod through any explanation so I can go google all my questions. Like I’ve tried being the kind of guy who asks questions in class to make professors like me more but I genuinely don’t have the ability my brain doesn’t generate the questions

nyaaaaa I’m the opposite
I used to ask too many questions and the professors would have to be like ā€œok Zug you can’t ask this many questions it takes too much timeā€

It either tries to generate an explanation or saves it to a mental space to look up later and I can’t access it to fucking ask the question. Sometimes I get one but I’m always like ā€œwell this is so natural a question that surely the professor is about to explain it soonā€

I’ve never been to office hours ever. Most lectures I can’t even learn from. I need text and I need google to answer my follow-up questions
