Night Vale had some of the BEST one off quotes that would just suckerpunch you in the chest leave you breathless

Like the one that stuck with me was this one:

"when a person dies and no one will miss them, the mourning is assigned to a random human. This is why sometimes you just feel sad."

It's been almost 11 years... It haunts me in a good way

Know what? Tell me YOUR favorite WTNV quote. I wanna know what lingers in people's minds after all this time

“Are we living a life that is safe from harm? Of course not. We never are. But that’s not the right question. The question is are we living a life that is worth the harm?”

“The past is gone, and cannot harm you anymore. And while the future is fast coming for you, it always flinches first, and settles in as the gentle present.”

@magpie-lesbian found it and you are so right.

“And now, traffic.

“Think of a number. Any number. That number is how many thousands of years old a certain rock is.

“That number is how many times someone has cried in their life.

“That number is the lucky number of an unlucky man who is yet to realize he is unlucky.

“Think of a number. No, think of…numbers.

“Picture all of these abstract representations of human thought, all of them forming an imagined pattern, as all patterns are imagined, and picture how those abstractions describe, in specific ways, real moments that exist.

“Picture numbers.

“There is a woman who lives at 531 Beachwood Street. Her phone number starts with a 3 and ends with a 5. She smiled 18 times yesterday. She is currently thinking of 3 things she needs to do. There are actually 4 things she needs to do. She has forgotten 1 of them.

“She touches the doorknob 2 times before committing to its turn. She has 2 eyes. She has 2 hands. She has 2 more chances to make her life what she thinks it should be.

“But she doesn’t know it yet.

“Think of a number.

“Yes! That’s the one! That’s the one that describes an infinity of disparate truths about our disparate universe.

“Also, the roads are looking clear.

“This has been traffic.”

I was reading an interesting article years ago about collective memory. There have been a lot of thinkpieces over the years about how humans are getting lazier and worse at remembering things thanks to technology. There’s a tendency, particularly in the western world, to behave as if memorization was all people did prior to the internet. 

But outside of artificial school test-taking environments, human beings have always relied on the collective memory of their close peers to keep track of information. Anyone who’s ever worked clothing retail knows that no single employee has the location of every item in the store memorized, but as long as you have enough people working the floor, nobody will ever have to waste time searching for an item because at least one employee is bound to remember which rack it’s on.

TL&DR - brains were never designed to function in isolation. 

Testing the intelligence of an individual in an isolation is never going to give you an accurate idea of a person’s true intellectual potential.

TL&DR TL&DR

Two (or more) heads is better than one.

My maternal grandfather was a math professor at the City University of New York. He died before I was born, but he passed a key bit of wisdom to my mother, and she passed it on to me:

The important thing is not knowing the answer, it’s knowing how to find the answer.

It our era of text and alphabets, that’s often knowing how to look something up. But for most of human existence, there were no alphabets. So knowing how to find the answer meant finding the person who knew the answer.

All human knowledge is cooperative.

JULIE MOLINA’S GUIDE TO BEFRIENDING A THREE GHOSTS (insp)

To clarify with regards to a few things yesterday: there are some basic rules involved with being on the internet and a lot of those rules have been drastically eroded by things like facebook, instagram and official twitter accounts.

But this is tumblr. We come here for the fact that we can be anonymous here. That we can use a pseudonym and it can stick. I have several friends who only know me by my URL - because this is where we met and we’ve not transitioned that friendship into the fleshmeat world.

The rules of the internet as I was taught them, as I generally keep to on tumblr:

Further rules regarding interaction:

From this, some of my own rules:

Please feel free to reblog this and even add your own rules and advice.
