For the past three weeks, I really feel like I've been living in a dream - like my reality is this wierd world of atoms that I just shuffle through to get from one world of consciousness to another. I can't stop thinking about mass extinction patterns; I've been researching the "Big Five" extinctions and models for them pretty intensively for a while now. It's such heavy theory, just a lot of variables and graphs...it might be messing with my head. I kind of miss learning about actual organisms and other "real" things, but thinking in terms of pure statistics and concepts is so wildly different from anything else I've ever done before. It's like I can completely indulge indulge in it, with no facts to get in the way - it's a complete non-reality.
