Learning

I've recently taken it upon myself, as a hobby, to learn more about biology, evolution, evolutionary biology, gender psychology and neuropsychology in an attempt to provide evidence to not only myself but other intellectual types that men and women are inherently different and, as a result, your only choices in regards to relationships and success with women is to accept it and/or deal with it.  I may not win arguments, particularly at first, and I may not even successfully persuade people to agree with me, but getting into something like this reminds me how much I love learning.  I wish I could make a living just learning things.  Maybe I can in the future, who knows?

In any case this new venture has obligated me to start reading more.  I just recently started a book called "Blink" by Malcolm Gladwell.  I'm about halfway through it now.  It's very readable but also quite informative, though in the future I'll be looking for something more in depth.  There are a lot of subtopics that are connected to my main philosophy here, and the discussion of the unconscious and/or intuition and its role in our day-to-day lives is part of that, and Blink covers it.  In the future I will also be hopefully covering subcommunication such as facial expressions, gestures, body language, etc., as well as the origins of language itself (as thinking types tend to get too caught up in the (lack of) significance of words, philosophy, the role and benefits of conflict and differences, the significance of emotions, etc.  These are concepts thinking types tend to have trouble with and I'd like to address them.

It's considerably challenging trying to maintain, much less eloquently convey, a coherent sentence with my jet lag and weeklong reign of 4 hour nights of sleep.
