A worriesome day.
It's been one of those days where work has been tiring, and I couldn't wait to go home. After stopping off at t'supermarket, I got v. paranoid about cars driving 10mph faster than they should (as they seem to in the rain) and not seeing me on my bike. And of course, paranoid about the kids that hang around the supermarket.

I'll ascribe that to being tired and lacking food at the time.

Unfortunately, this got me thinking, which is always a bad thing. I got thinking about the whole academia thing, and wanting to set the world to rights. The latter is impossible for me; I'm aware that one idea can change the world, but it's not going to be one of mine, and it won't happen by tomorrow.

Anyway, here goes:

• Is it ok not to question?
• Is it ok to say ``I don't want to'' because I won't like the result?
• Is it wrong of me to want people to think about this?

Answers on the back of an LJ-post, please. Be as concice or as verbose as you wish. I'm not looking for sympathy, just opinions. I suppose you might call this a meme, were it not for the fact that it isn't.

Oh, go on then, call it ``The Philosophical Meme''.

Part of the reason for the above is that at work, I do the first two all day every day. And it doesn't stop when I go home, the analyticalness is still there, and not everyone around me wants it. An interesting alcohol-fueled discussion recently lead me to the realisation that all academia, whether it be art, science, math, theology, or whatever, is towards the refinement of an understanding. Which is what makes it different.

Not different to anything, just different.

Next time, I should say something about the piece of electronics I bought for 499.99+VAT. Or perhaps how you should be careful mixing Region 1+2 variants of DVDs, as corresponding volumes may contain differing episodes. Or maybe I should talk about the time I managed to blow up an AMD Athlon.

But I just did, so I won't ;)
