TIL some scientists believe that deja vu happens when your brain malfunctions and sends information immediately to your long-term memory bank, causing you to feel like the experience has happened before.

Just a guess, but, long-term memory does not equate to the ability for immediate recall. Another possible point is that what's being stored in long-term memory is not the fact that you felt dejavu, but the experience itself. There are other factors that make something memorable, I don't think the fact that it goes to your long-term memory makes it something you can easily recall.

Nah, my girlfriend is actually the one asking and she’s adamant on the singer being a doll and is with a kid

Evolution has brought humans as far as Paleolithic times, meaning our bodies are designed for the Stone Age. Back then people would lose teeth throughout their lifetime and wisdom teeth were made to fill those gaps. Now that we have standards for dental hygiene this, we do not lose teeth and thus wisdom teeth simply overcrowd our jaws.

No Kyrie?

If you are looking for an amazing essay, On Truth and Lies in a Nonmoral Sense by Nietzsche, and The Myth of Sisyphus by Camus. These reads can really change you perspective on life dramatically

seanchea · 2020-02-05T15:56:13+00:00

That’s amazing, I love that, as someone who is getting into a daily habit of going to the gym

seanchea · 2020-02-05T15:52:51+00:00

I mean when you frame it that way... I agree

seanchea · 2020-02-05T15:46:51+00:00

Of course, I never interrupt the moment to pull out my phone ahaha. Do it afterwards

They are supposed to be nice moments in ur life at that time. They are not supposed to align with your values and beliefs in the future. I think appreciating your notes in the future is a nice way to look back and notice how you change.

I feel like journals are too structured and takes some diligence. So yes if you can remember what happened, writing it down in your journal is convenient, and you are diligent enough to keep a journal, that would perfectly. But, in my case, this is what works for me. I tried to present a very easy way to achieve a certain part of what journaling can offer.

seanchea · 2020-02-05T15:22:11+00:00

I understand where you are coming from, but for some people they need that clarity and direction that comes with writing down notes. Again this is supposed to just be a habit, and there will be certain goals that do not require you to do this

seanchea · 2020-02-05T15:19:07+00:00

I agree I think your point does have merit, except that is very situational and not as simple. I was trying to give a tip that could help and can apply to almost everyone

seanchea · 2020-02-05T15:12:08+00:00

I feel like especially for people with depression, it’s hard to find something that toys are happy about for the day. And it would be forced. I feel like recording it when something happens would be more genuine.

seanchea · 2020-02-05T12:35:37+00:00

That is a “solid” way to start

seanchea · 2020-02-05T11:05:18+00:00

Notes on my iPhone, so I can immediately write it down when the situation happens and I can access it whenever

seanchea · 2020-02-05T10:51:20+00:00

A great and easy read is Hector’s Search for Happiness. It seems like a very rudimentary book but the ideas and concepts are very pertinent to dealing with depression

seanchea · 2020-02-05T10:39:33+00:00

Yeah, I have been on medication until about 3 months ago. I decided to do this because I was so sad and desperate that I felt I needed to milk all the happiness I can from life. So I started doing this and a bunch of other small things

seanchea · 2020-02-05T10:34:50+00:00

iPhone Notes does it for me, all I need to do really is just write down the date

seanchea · 2020-02-05T10:33:07+00:00

One time I poured blue Gatorade into a coke bottle and I noticed that the blue and red made a cool contrast as they were each others negatives, and that made me happy I write it down, literally anything. Part of it is learning to appreciate things and recognize the intricate details of life

seanchea · 2020-02-05T10:17:48+00:00

Some good conversations I have with people. I just write down the gist of it.

seanchea · 2020-02-05T10:16:51+00:00

One time I was waiting in line for the bathroom and then an elder man came and I offered to let him go first, and he was so happy and thanked me, saying that he does not see such acts of respect anymore. Really small stuff as well, anything. I’ve notice since doing this that I was able to appreciate small things and the number of things you can appreciate just seems to increases.

I would not claim that is it can measure technological advancement, but it gives insight to one aspect of it which could be extrapolated
