Alrighty, so this short week got really busy really quickly, and throw in a dress fitting tonight and I ran out of time to put anything together for ya’ll. So here’s a cool video that discusses an interesting question: Will we ever run out of new music? Listen to Vsauce:

Vsauce knows:
So while referring to people as “brainless” is metaphorically pleasing, it is scientifically inaccurate.
Now you know.

I have a confession. I like philosophy. Especially metaphysics. I actually have a BA in Philosophy (minor in English). I don’t understand why people find it boring. Some of the questions philosophers get to ask are AWESOME. Like the following:
I guess some people might write off questions like this as frivolous, but I find them fascinating. This is the core of human curiosity. Questions like these are what birthed the sciences. Math, physics, chemistry, and most recently, psychology. How can questions like this be frivolous when they brought out every scientific revolution?
So what about you, dear reader? Did you find the video interesting? Why do you think so many people think philosophy is boring?
(In other news, this is my 100th post. Yay!)
