So, short story long, let me explain. Last Friday, I’m driving home from work, and listening to this talk radio show. They were making comments about a young woman on Tik Tok who was explaining that the reason she couldn’t show up to work on time was because of something called “Time Blindness”. She continued to say that this was a very serious illness and that employers should take into consideration those who suffer from this affliction. Then she went on, blah, blah, blah, it’s not my fault, I can’t help myself, everybody should accommodate me, blah, blah, blah. I almost slammed into the guy ahead of me, partly from laughing, partly from rage. But I realized right then and there that this was my definitely next theory. So, the weekend goes by and I eventually gather my thoughts, jot down some notes, and then look up the actual post of this person just to get my quotes straight. Unfortunately, what I find is myriad opinions about her and her Time Blindness crapola. “Every phone has an alarm clock, just leave a few minutes earlier in case there’s traffic, etc…” Now let me just say this – in all of the 50+ theories I’ve written I ‘ve never taken anybody else’s work without crediting them. My ideas are my own, even if someone, somewhere, has at one point opined the same thing. But in this case, the more I investigated the topic, the more opinions I heard, and the more they somewhat mirrored my own, and pretty soon I couldn’t tell mine from theirs. Before long I realized that it just wasn’t going to happen. A day or so later, I come across Neil Tyson de Gras, and he was talking about kids in high school and college who complain about having to learn math and science when they are never going to use it in ‘’real life” (as if they have any clue as to what real life is). I instantly thought to myself, I can’t believe this is happening again. A couple years ago I started writing a theory about exactly this, but never finished it. The man went on to say that you’re actually not in school to learn math or physics or history, per se. You’re in school to train your brain to problem solve. Solving math problems forces your brain to work a certain way to come up with the answer. The same with History with respect to memorization and science in terms of picturing the problem you’re trying to solve. Almost word for word the things I brought up a few years back. The only thing different was that didn’t use the tag line I came up to sum up the topic. “You’re not in school to learn different subjects, you there to learn how to learn.” But the bottom line was that someone beat me to the punch again! https://newclevelandradio.net/listening-links/thoughts-theories-and-queries-steve-valdez/
