Hardy Boys - While the Clock Ticked

-
I completed a book titled 'While the Clock Ticked' in two days. It was 213 pages long. It talked about a banker accused of stealing money of an inventor and a gang who steal Hurd Applegate's stamps. Hurd Applegate is also mentioned in the first book called the tower treasure in which Frank and Joe unsuccessfully try to dig up loot but find it in an old water tank.

Is it really a "wonderful world"?

-
Is toxicity real? I certainly think so. Humans have infinite capacity for evil, so, the possibility of an unhealthy relationship characterized by mutual despair over benefit is a real one. I recently listened to Louis Armstrong’s song--“What a wonderful world” And I think to myself- what an interesting song. Can the world really be beautiful? Well, I suppose so. I suppose it can be beautiful. When the beauty of it is well earned. If however, if one does not earn the beauty, they may not experience it. The very same world of beauty to one may be a dull world to a mind that does not provide itself with the experience of beauty. And this is not to claim by the way, that one’s actions are unrelated to one’s mental state, or to downplay the responsibility one has to tend to their own body, mind, and life. But I have often heard of the biological component that is associated with such dullness, and how the chemistry of one’s brain affects one’s mood. For some reason, I sometimes find it surp...

Two Frogs In Cream by T.C.Hamlet

Two frogs fell into a can of cream Or so I've heard it told The sides of the can were shiny and steep The cream was deep and cold "Oh what's the use",croaked Number 1. "T'is fate no helps around" "Goodbye my friends","Goodbye sad world" And weeping still he drowned But number 2 of sterner stuff Dog-Paddled in surprise The while he dried his creamy face And dried his creamy eyes "I'll swim a while, at least", he said "It really wouldn't help the world if one more frog were dead". An hour or so he kicked and swam Not once he stopped to mutter But kicked and kicked and swam and kicked And hopped out via butter

Find x.

Find x. Final answer: x is 7. The beauty of my response is that no one can tell me I'm wrong. If someone challenges my answer, I can just as easily construct a scenario in which x is in fact 7, such as x + 2 = 9. Over the years, I've come to realize that sometimes the solution space is indefinitely large (pardon the linear algebra reference), that there is no one right answer to the problem.  When presented with insufficient information, we have to start somewhere. There isn't always one proper thing to do or one optimal decision to make, but rather a span of actions that satisfy the said criteria, out of which you have to pick one. The idea that we can make choices, each having an uncertain output is thrilling but simultaneously sobering. Ultimately, it is this freedom, this ambiguity, this choice that makes us all unique. In this scenario, such criteria was not laid out; x was not defined. I found x. I made a choice based on incomplete information, and it is one I...
