  • The grand hilbert hotel is a metaphor about infinity. If a hotel has an infinite number of rooms, it will have enough room for him. If every room is full, they can all still move up by one room number. Infinity means you can always shift everyone up by 1 room number.

    The ship of theseus is a philosophical question about whether it’s still the same ship after having every board and nail in it replaced over centuries of repairs gradually replacing all of its parts.

    Asking if Sisyphus is happy is a reference to a famous Albert Camus (French absurdist philosopher) quote “One must imagine Sisyphus happy”






  • I had a SPECT scan done once at an Amen clinic.

    Didn’t really help anything besides give cool pictures of my brain. Turns out my brain is the only hyperactive part of me (SPECT shows bloodflow in the brain and mine was way more active than most). It was neat I guess, but I already had been diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type, so it ended up just being expensive and not really helpful. My mom was happy about it though, so there’s that.

    I wouldn’t recommend it. They need to inject you with a radioactive isotope for your blood to show up in the scans. Supposedly it’s not much worse than a couple of X-rays, but still.
