interruptions when i'm not even close to finished!
my mom is trying so hard to help me figure out what to major in, do with the rest of my life, etc. but every time she asks me what i like doing most, i proceed to go into this long theoretical diatribe weighing all my options against each other. she tried to make it easier on me by asking what i most wanted to accomplish in life, and i said something like "social change." she asked what i thought the best way to accomplish social change was. and before i was even 30 seconds in to telling her about how humans had evolved to work best in small groups, and how rationalization of cognitive dissonance was messing up modern man's ability to commit moral actions, she was all like, i asked you how you want to accomplish social change! and i'm like, wait, i haven't finished telling you my theory of everything yet! but it's just a theory, and i'll need another 1, 5, 10, 30, 100 years to make sure it is correct! only then can i maybe know the best way to accomplish social change!
so yeah, that conversation went well.
