This article starts off as a helper to make people less stupid. Then it basically talks about how people freak out when something uncertain hits them, and this is just silly because there's always a degree of fundamental uncertainty. Also, people are too infatuated with health. I understand cancer is a very hard thing to go through, and it's hard to see a loved one suffer and all that but you need to live life to the fullest and not have regrets.
The most striking thing to me was the reiteration (sp?) of the representation of information because my communication level is just beyond ridiculously bad.
I wish people in general had more logic because so many are honestly just idiotic in their daily lives, and are just a bunch of space monkeys. But then again, it's always a good laugh.
I'm not pretentious... I'm opinionated!
