Would you ever consider making a FAQ for questions that you've been asked a bunch of times?
i have considered it. there are 2 problems-- one is i don't know where to put it. the other problem is, it is likely that people will continue to ask the same questions, and that would make me feel more insane than i already do. although i do think it would be cool to post them all, ranked in order of frequency, because some of them are kind of surprising

Okay, so say someone claims they are always objective in their thinking meaning getting the end result of something, however, when they don't get it, they end up changing their mind, which is okay but they changed it because they don't want to admit they thought subjectively? Data, hard facts, and numbers are objective but wouldn't you agree when it comes to humans they are more subjective in their thinking of wanting an end result of something?
if you are trying to say humans are liars, you could be right

My band instructor's last year is this year, and he's been my band instructor for 6 years. Today was probably the last time I was ever going to see him. Before he left, he gave the entire band a speech, and at the end he told us that while athleticism and popularity can be important to some people, they'll never stick with you as much as music did. He said that when you grow old, being an athlete may be impossible, and being popular would be pointless, but you will always have a way to enjoy or play music. What're your thoughts on that?
that's actually pretty cool, i never thought of it that way
