Having ideas is just as much a learnable skill as an innate ability (though it is still partially an innate ability, of course). You want to practice. Every morning, get out a piece of paper and write down 5 ideas. They can be ideas about anything, books you're reading, your job/studies, news and current events, family/friends, history, music, etc., just try to make them as original as possible. Try to write an idea that not many other people have had before.

I love literary studies and philosphy, but philosphy academia is - let's be honest - just fake.
My philosphy major friends would write me "interesting" news articles about AI, and those fuckers in their field write about the future, machines, artificial intelligence, and so on - but they also refuse to actually learn it. They'd never want to invest three month of python and some statistics that it takes to be able to actually get to the point where you can write your own machine learning routines, understand what it is and what it can and can't do. Actually write a program that recognizes digits, or maybe faces if you allow yourself to import some libraries. Get a feel for how things work.

The joke is that this is justified: Of course, if they came to understand how things work (AI or whatever), then you wouldn't be mystified by it and it would be harder to dream up shit about things bordering the scientific realm. You'd not be able to put out papers that the other theoreticans (dreamers) would read and your career would be over.
The fucking industry bordering the scientific field hinges upon the people writing the philosophy papers not understanding that shit. If someone goes on and learns about it, machine learning say, then they'd catch the mind virus and end up spouting out arguments that the philosphers don't want to deal with. The "boring" "narrow minded" naive realist perspective. I understand the rejection of that, but the rejection of investing a few month to learn more about the subject from a "hard" perspective than your peers would be a nice change of events.

I don't get it, why does she cook pancakes just for herself?

I'm a physicist working in AR. That entry is just a goto page for myself or link people to, to use the correct names for transformation groups (for rotations+velocity changes, there's no name for the classical equivalent of Lorentz transformations except "homogenous Galilei transformations", that's what prompted me to write it down)
I do book reviews too

How many people around one must be into a narrative for it to be considered grand?

Slavery is inevitable without any machinations actually. People will just breed kids to be as economically effective as possible until it's no longer necessary to even have parents and corporations print people on demand.

Not like I give a shit. Humanity was never my ingroup.

>“Whenever I marry,” she continued after a pause which none interrupted, “I am resolved my husband shall not be a rival, but a foil to me.” — from Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Bronte.

I'm not a native speaker, what does that mean? What does the "foil" express.

I need it for quantum theory research purposes.
