Tell me in comments which I should expand upon in a real, full-blown post... Please?
So, yeah. That's all the stuff that's rattling around in my head...
- I wonder if my cerebral palsy effects or alters my personal concept of "ego" and "Self" in any significant way, since deciding to move/do something is one thing, but then, actually doing it requires a cascade of micro-adjustments disentangling intended actions from unintended ones. Does this mean that my intuitive sense of "Will" is different from someone who can do things automatically?
- Spelling songs (B-I-N-G-O, etc.): What's their appeal, and why hasn't there been a song about Qwerty, yet?
- Why do mass media cater to hipsters, and treat geeks as second-class citizens, especially in entertainment? And which came first? Do you need a mass entertainment media industry to create the hipster class?
- Why is "Alphabetic order" in Alphabetic order? When a discrete set of visual symbols for phonemes was first developed, what was the thought process behind putting "Alpha" first, "Beta" next, and "Omega" last (Fill in the letter names with the linguistic system of your choice)?
- Back in the day, the crippled god Hephaestus was believed to have a full sex drive, but all the able-bodied goddesses (and mortal women, presumably) found him so repulsive that (according to myth) he had to resort to rape to satisfy his lusts -- that's where the cyclops(es) came from. And there's Caliban from The Tempest, too, who was thwarted by Prospero in raping Miranda. So when did the idea enter our culture that the physically disabled are asexual, and of course we are eternal children, and have no sexual desires? Was that a Nineteenth Century Charity thing?
So, yeah. That's all the stuff that's rattling around in my head...
