https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | if one were to try to measure personal success within the life-pursuit-of-art, is it possible to measure it solely by internal metrics (ie I am better at it than I have ever been), or is one compelled to seek outside measures of success (ie more people like the art now than ever before). ? thanks | measurement itself is an art. there's as many ways to measure things as there are to make the things |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | bill do u know why does nature make sinewaves? | why wouldn't it |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | or why any wave can be broken down (approximately) into sums of sines? | i'm not sure. i actually hadn't heard about that. i've never looked into it, but i think i'd like to at some point |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | I cant really find anywhere on the internet that explains WHY, just that it is. If i throw a stone into the water, does it ripple sinusoidally? Why though? why not like a triangle wave? what is it about nature that makes it want to be siney? | my first thought is that transfers of energy into different vectors naturally happen gradually and not instantly. that's just my experience with acceleration, or just direction-change in general. however, that doesn't necessarily answer the question of why our universe is like this in the first place. although i've grown accustomed to it being that way and it seems normal. but i could also see it being normal the other way also. like how color changes in a photo are usually gradual, but you could also imagine a universe with only 2 colors and no gradients, and that would make its own kind of sense |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | Is it really that way or is the sine wave just a good way to represent stuff? I saw an argument that it is used because its derivative is also siney but im not sure if thats it. Does nature speak sine or do we make sense of it through sine? | it's been said that nature speaks calculus. this may be tangentially related to your argument |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | I don't really know what to ask online to try and understand what void there is in my understanding of it. I know that it represents the movement of a circle, but does it mean that nature is naturally circular? | circles are natural, i'll give you that |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | and thats why when translated into one dimension we see sines? | that seems solid, except i think you'd still have to call it 2 dimensions. but it's just perpendicular straight dimensions instead of the radial thing |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | If you could put any song of yours into any feature film, what song and what film? | i'd put many songs in many films. i'd make the films and the songs. except the video component would not actually be on film, unless i happen to be living in a time period where film is commonly used as a video medium |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | I love to create parse trees of stuff but I never finish any of the ones I make | that's probably because parse trees are usually infinite, when correct |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | what's your language learning process like | listen to genuine conversations i enjoy. sometimes allow myself to be curious about what things mean. and sometimes try my best to transcribe it. then, once i have a piece of content figured out, it's nice to then incorporate it into the backdrop of casual listening. that being said, language learning is not my fulltime priority right now. in fact it's barely even part time. my main priority these days is working on and developing audio-visual content for your viewing and listening enjoyment |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | Is the "I'm feeling rare" button a reference to steak? | no, and it also doesn't say that |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | so far I've kept my new year's resolution to ask a question here every day!

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | i may be approaching burn out on a personal project that i have worked gradually for a year now. what should be the next course of action so that i can finish this enormous project more quickly? it's been cooking for way too long, but i'm realizing not enough progress | well, right now you're stuck on a boat with yourself now and yourself when you started the project. i know that's not a solution, but the drama is exquisite. especially if you can get both characters to really passionately express their point of view in this |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | How can I show people that they matter to me? | if they really do, then you can just tell them. if they don't really, but you tell them anyway, they might not believe you |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | How to get over feeling like you never fit in? Growing up I always felt like the odd one out and that stayed with me to adulthood. Thing is I realize lots of people feel that way so it's not like I couldn't fit in somewhere eventually. So why is it so hard to let go of this mentality? It's dumb because I want to be included and have friends and stuff but I never seem to allow myself to be part of the group. Like I tell myself stuff like I know they don't really want me here even though they're totally the ones who invited me! What's up with that? I'm tired of living like this. I guess what I'm really asking is how do you genuinely chill around other people and actually enjoy it? | maybe you could all work on something together |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | do you consider yourself an outsider musician | i'm actually too inside |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | does it bother you when people ask a question and then end it in a period instead of a question mark. | no, but what does bother me is questions that begin with 'does it bother you' |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | how do you think | you could spend a lifetime trying to explain it. actually that sounds like fun |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | what time is it? | 10 after half past midday |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | "Here Comes the Sun" strikes me as a very segmented song, with a lot of bits and pieces that feel like they were plucked from other demos. | it wasn't |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | My favorite of these is when you sing "I can't explain the way that I'm feeling." Is there a particular "segment" of the song you especially enjoy? | the second pre-chorus (interesting day) |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | is today yesterday's tomorrow, or tomorrow's yesterday? or is it both? or anther thing? | all of the above |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | Why do restaurants serve milkshakes with sprinkles on the side of the cup? | i have no idea. this has never happened to me, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | That just means I can't eat the sprinkles, unless I used a spoon specifically for them, but that would probably be weird! | |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | what's one thing you know about 2023? | it's 7x17x17 |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | how to be likeable? i've been having problems being likeable so i came to ask you how to be likeable mr wurtz | you could just remind people to like you, when you first meet them |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | what do you think about the number 727 | it might be prime. it's not a multiple of 3, (or 5, or 2), or 7, or 11, or 13, or 17, or 19, or 23, ..... and 29 squared is already higher than it, so i believe 727 is prime |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | Do you love the Industrial Revolution? I love the Industrial Revolution | it's a good metaphor for other revolutions. and other revolutions, in turn, are a good metaphor for it |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | Is it possible for a "dream job" to ever be as great as it is in your imagination? | at certain moments. or it may be good in ways that you hadn't even imagined. or, maybe a job that you didn't think would be your dream job actually ends up being very good |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | If I want to go to heaven, which religion should I pick? I don't want to guess incorrectly and wind up in hell by accident. Like, what if I live my life as a devout catholic, but then I go to hell and the devil is like, "Oh sorry. Nice try, but the correct answer was Zoroastrianism. Thanks for playing." | it's never like that. pick whichever one means the most to you |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | your work that you share with us always leaves me feeling such a lovely way, and it makes me want to continue developing my own creative endeavors. but whenever i work on one of my projects, i end up feeling so frustrated that it's not what was in my head. do you have any way to avoid the stuck feeling and maybe a way to feel okay with a low-quality finished product? | i'm not sure. but i think everyone deals with that |

https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | If you could live without one emotion, what would it be? | there's infinite emotions, so it will probably have to be more than one |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | i love that you answer many of these questions so unexpectedly literally. like, "favorite sound effect?". instead of answering with a sound effect, you answer with your interpretation of the noun, "favorite sound effect". favorite ueqstions moment? | it will be something in the future, i assume |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | do you like it when people ask you overly meta or self-referential questions? | i assume you are refering to the 'normal' and 'standard' questions. anyway, i like most questions. i also like not liking questions, so that really broadens the palette quite a bit |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | Why do I have to analyze literature for school? I don't want to think deeply, I want to read. | ironically it's probably during the actualy reading that you'd probably be thinking more deeply, as well as feeling. that doesn't change your complaint, but i'm guessing you're actually being forced to think shallowly, which of course is uncomfortable |
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-11.html | I'm tired of having to find symbolism and stuff. | i think what's actually happening is you'd rather EXPERIENCE the symbolism, rather than butcher it up in some corny ritual |
