  • When i was younger (before kids) i read a lot - mostly Stephen King and classics and it’s still what i really like. Kids are grown, but i have a hard time saying, “I’m going to sit here for an hour and read.” There’s always something to do…bills, husband, animals, house, yard, etc. and when i veg I mostly turn to mindlessly browsing my phone because it’s 2 minute chunks that you can put down anytime. After 15 years of working at the same job i just found out that my lunch break is 60 minutes instead of 30 - maybe I’ll bring a book and try to use that time to read.













  • I’ve leaned to put myself to sleep by concentrating really hard on relaxing and blocking out other thoughts. I take 5 breaths focused on 'am i comfortable? - good position, pillow just right, temp ok; then i take 3 breaths focused on relaxing each body part starting with my foot- feeling it sink into the bed, working hard to not let other thoughts creep in. I’ve never made it to my head.




  • We would lose a lot of art and creativity, customer service at every company would be empty, everyone would believe they’re too smart to work basic service jobs so infrastructure would collapse. Lots of high IQers have pretty low motivation, especially for things outside their specific interests, so I think we would have very fast cars and really good recreational drugs. There are some who believe that the increase in autism comes from similarly minded people procreating, so that could be an issue.
