https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | Do you think choreographed dance is weird as an art form? | no |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | I find it weird because it's only possible as a result of a musician already making a complete song that they've published, and then dancers dance to the song, but it's like they're the main attraction instead of the song | music is an extremely powerful ingredient in audio/visual content. so, in the case that an artist can't actually do everything, you find many audio/visual situations where the star of the show is indeed not the audio maker per se. or, in other cases, not the video maker per se. hopefully in either case there would be a satisfactory arrangement worked out between the audio and visual artists, financially or otherwise |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | Why do you sing about shoes so often? (love your voice btw) | it's not my fault that shoes is such a rock n roll word |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | i want to get into composing music, but have no idea where to start, do you have any advice? | sure. first figure out how to get access to some kind of musical instrument, just to see how it feels, and start seeing what it can do |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | Is everything everywhere all at once or is everything nowhere never | both clauses seem to make sense independently, (even if you ignore the popular movie title reference). the second one is immediately more complicated because the logic of multiple negatives can be interpreted in so many different ways. at first i was thinking you'd have to swap 'nothing' in, but then i saw that it actually can work the way it is |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | hey what's your favorite kind of cookie, i've been making cookies recently and want some ideas for types to make | my favorite probably won't give you any new ideas. it is one of the most normal and popular kinds |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | I've been teaching myself how to play piano but it feels like instead of actually learning it, I've just been committing songs to muscle memory. Whenever I try to improvise something beyond two notes/one hand at a time it just sounds awful | that makes sense. you haven't taught yourself to actually 'play', in the made-up way. it's actually super easy to start learning how to do this. you just have to start doing it. it's completely ridiculous at first, and it actually stays ridiculous |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | I don't understand Schrodinger's cat. If enough people were to try the experiment, surely one of them will not get the result their expecting. | i don't think the experiments have to do with expectation. it has to do with whether or not you've actually checked to see what the result is. it also is not really a cat, it's usually just little bits of light. i suppose cats seemed more relatable at the press conference |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | And if you flip a coin, it isn't simultaneously gonna land on both; it is going to land on one or the other no matter what in any universe. | that's right. i think the point of this whole thing is usually that it's undecided which universe you'll go to, until you actually have directly or indirectly observed what result you got |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | does pepsi and coke taste the same | no, but they are more similar to each other than they are to things that aren't cola |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | how to battle seasonal depression? | i can think of 2 different ways. they might seem like opposites, but it also seems like either one might work: you could start working on something new, or, you could also continue working on something you were working on in a previous season |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | If the world were to flip upside down, would anything truly change? | for such a flip, there needs to be a point of reference or else it doesn't happen. so there needs to be something 'outside' the 'world' in order for the world to entirely move. the problem i'm seeing is, the word 'world' feels like it ought to mean everything everywhere. so if by definition there is nothing outside the world, then there is no such thing as any kind of rotational transformation of the world as a whole |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | is your red the same as my red? | i'm not sure |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | can you think of an antonym | i can think of pairs of antonyms, or, i can think of an antonym for a given thing. in the meantime, i'll just give you perhaps the antonym of 'antonym', which according to my calculations ought to be 'synonym' |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | why do you sometimes capitalize Funny Words in the middle of sentences? | i rarely do that, but i saw someone do it years ago and it made me laugh for a long time. so if you've seen me do it, it means i was still laughing from when that other person did it |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | why are the first letters in the titles on this website somewhere in the middle? does it mean something? | it's title design, without using any graphics. in the old days, storybooks and documents used to have an enormous and fancy first letter. i set out to try to accomplish the same thing except not using any graphics, and also no font changes or letter size changes. only letter color and order |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | If the poles flip, would the people in the northern north be the southern southerners? Or would northern north'ers (otherwise known as "northies") only be classified as "north" if they were born before the flip. Would that lead to social hierarchy between the northerners and southerners?

I may have like audihd so my hyperfocus and special interest passion got me thru researching/building it but not to the next step XD do you ever spend a lot of emotional/financial/temporal/physical energy on something that you don't end up using, and if so, how do you let go or decide what to do. and how do you feel? thank you! | the most important thing is that you have progressed in your architecture/building career |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | Have you ever had a dream that you confused with reality | only during the dream |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | Hey! I have auditions for cruise ships coming up. I don't know whether I'll get in or which line I would get on if I did. What is your experience working as a musician on cruise ships, and do you have any tips for auditioning? | i've never done that sort of thing. but what i recommend for auditions in general, is to do auditions more often. if you do it often, you will get very good at it and you won't worry about it. the only problem is, if you get too good, someone will give you a job and then you won't have time to do auditions anymore |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | you are very good at making things that make me feel things. Sometimes the feeling of feeling those things feels like something really really special (even if the feeling itself doesnt feel like that). why does that feel so special? and does it go both ways? do you feel something about when youre making things or feel something about what youre feeling? | i think you probably sense on some level the honesty with which i am persuing an infinite pursuit |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | how do I imagine better? | that depends how you've been doing it so far |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | what is a song that helps you not take things too seriously | songs don't help me take things not seriously. if it's any good, or works well in its placement, i freak out and get very serious about it. however, if it's not good, i also freak out and get serious about what may have gone wrong |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | Is this question a paragraph? Does it need 5 sentences to be a paragraph? | in my opinion, when standing on its own, it becomes a paragraph when it takes up multiple lines without using linebreaks (return/enter). however, i believe a 1-line paragraph could exist only when surrounded by other paragraphs, as long as some of those other paragraphs take up more than one line (without linebreaks). of course this all depends on the width of the page. i should also mention that if you make the page so narrow that there's only 1 word per line, that also doesn't count as a paragraph because it becomes a word list. but as long as at least one line is wide enough for 2 words, then it becomes a paragraph again |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | if persons A and B have the same birthday then clearly that's 1 coincidence. | it's not entirely clear to me |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | meanwhile if persons A and B have the same birthday, and persons C and D have a different same birthday, then that's 2 coincidences. but say persons A, B, and C have the same birthday. are there 2 coincidences in this situation, or 3? | i'm trying to figure out just what we normally mean when we say 'coincidence'. it seems like, for compounding coincidences, it seems like the results have to be revealed separately. if you select 3 random numbers at the same time, and they are all the same number, that seems like 1 coincidence. however, if you select the 3 numbers one at a time, and they all turn out the same, then that would feel like 2 coincidences, because effectively your were surprised twice |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | how to calm down over things beyond my control | figure out what is in your control. there will be plenty of time to worry about the things you can't control, later, after you figure out what you can control |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | why are there so many musicals written about musicals, | maybe it's the main thing musical writers know about |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | and why do they all seem so much weaker than musicals not written about musicals? | i don't know. i would expect that musical musicals would naturally be very strong. but maybe i'm part of the problem |
