xp mechanics, electric, construction, farming, etc obv we can't predict the future but all seem more valuable than accounting or law

the underlying concepts of accounting and law are very useful in this scenario though

I believe ideas have consequences

being able to effectively lead a ragtag band of competent farmers, mechanics, masons and electrical engineers is way more useful than knowing how to do stuff

I don't really foresee a prolonged period of time in which there is no "society." I think some form of society tends to congeal relatively quickly. I figure I'll probably just die in the initial deluge but if I manage to survive I'll find a way to make myself useful.

most useful skill is to learn to play to conch shell. so they keep you around for the announcement of speeches, meal times, and public executions.

you could never listen to even half of all the music. so you'd have to listen to a representative sample of all music, and then predict that you dislike most music

some ilxors like to affect a lack of understanding of rhetoric for comic effect. some ilxors maybe don't actually understand rhetoric.

Tom Watson in a fedora (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 18 August 2016 19:58 (seven years ago) link

some songs I like. some songs maybe I don't like. it is only appropriate to be conservative about language and the exact numbers itt.
