To the tune of My Hero:
Almost too shocking now to talk about
Take your vacation plans, toss them out
Hypocrites have consequence, messing around
Use my paystubs now, use as a shroud
There goes my paycheck
Watch it as it goes
There goes my paycheck
It's illusionary
Everyone's a creditor, as I bleed out
Through the window my buying power goes out
Games have consequence, fooling around
Out of gas so I, can't race it around
There goes my paycheck
Watch it as it goes
There goes my paycheck
It's illusionary
Kudos my paycheck you really tried your best
You know my paycheck, the one that's gone
There goes my paycheck
Watch me as I'm hosed
There goes my paycheck
It's illusionary
There goes my paycheck
Oh my G-d it's gross
There goes my paycheck
It's illusionary
Maxims, rules of thumb and other observations on human cognition and sociocultural affectations
This will be added to on an irregular basis...
- What is said to humans directly is received with skepticism and considered with dubiousness while that which is heard in passing, especially that which most conforms to their mentality or prejudices, is readily believed.
- Humans have a certain cognitive latency between exposure to new information or experiences and the ability to think dispassionately and intellectually about it.
- Humans have a certain cognitive spectrum starting with the moment of exposure to new information or experiences and ending with some point at which the thing is effectively "in the past" for them.
- This cognitive spectrum is linked to the emotional process often referred to as shock, anger, denial and acceptance.
- The more and faster information or experiences are presented to people and the closer the quarters and the lesser the distance between people, the more their early reactions in the passionate emotional stage are reflected back to them in the manner of responses to those reactions from others in light of those responses.
- The more outrages which are suffered without sufficient time to allow emotional bleed-off, the farther the bar for subsequent reaction and outrage are pushed, and the more further events must progress before reaction and outrage.
- It is possible for serious detriments to eventually sit below this threshold for long enough for their damaging effects to build and multiply until their entire society undergoes some reactive convulsion.
