My brain continued to be very active last night and I couldn’t turn off easily to go to bed. I managed only to write a few notes with the kitten about and had a million ideas in my head, remembering old ideas and the context in which they were written/thought up, remembering back to my bohemian days a few years ago and how I could write them up. A few reveries too I haven’t sufficiently captured.
Ă‚Â Reveries this morning centered around training, since we have training today now that the students are gone. Talking about IQ tests. Expressing my opinions in a meeting about them. Asked what they are, replying they were invented by psychologists to prove how uniquely intelligent they are, since they are measures of verbal and mathematical reasoning and these are both areas that the discipline of psychology deals with whereas almost all other disciplines centre on one or another. Saying it is as pointless as asking for a measure of personality “has Mohammed Ali or Shania Twaine got more personality, expressed as a number.” Talking about emotional intelligence and saying once again, why express it as a number, it is a nonsense. and so on and so forth, though, of course, much more in depth.
Green tea, chicken breast and a pear this morning, not having had time to prepare anything with the kitten needing attention. It has been decreed that he will be sent home today.
