Mmmm tastes like alliteration.
Well, this evening was quite interesting.
I didn't expect to enjoy it quite so much, but I went to a concert for the vocal performance majors here at school.
Oh.my.goodness.
You really don't realize what is possible with the human voice.
They were amazing.
But, leading off of that, it's impossible to say where the limits of human potential are.
I know that, historically, pride cometh before the fall and all that jazz, but we really can be quite fascinating.
By incredible exertion and effort, there are people who can jump 8 feet in the air, sing 4 octaves higher than I can even hear, and do all sorts of crazy stuff.
The reason I know we have limits, as amazing as we are, refers to the principle of diminishing returns, if you know what that is. As we work, the closer we get to our limits, the less we gain per amount of work.
There has to be a limit somewhere. Human achievement is peaked.
I just think that has a lot of implications for technology and morals that we don't really think about...
I'll have to ponder and finish this blog later.
In other news, this made me giggle:

So, this is the blog of Brett. I used to write on my Myspace and I still use my Facebook all the time to tell people what's going on in my life, but I suppose true blogging isn't about what's happening in your life, it's about your reaction to it and what it inspires you to think. Not to say that this is my journal. It's where I drop my brain off at the end of the day.
