List Things You Don't Quite Understand

[Shahin]

understand this:

"Two hands clap and there is a sound; what is the sound of one hand clapping?"

and no, I'm not being dumb or pseudo intellectual with this. Check: KÅan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I can clap with one hand. If it's so important to you to know the answer to this I can record it for you.

I don't understand why you just said, if you take out all the hoopla... I understand what I know, and don't understand what I don't. Really?

No. Incomprehensible means impossible to understand. I meant that I don't have a mental imagery for, say, those things I mentioned, because the scale at which the events trigger is too big for me to fathom. If that translates to "i don't understand what i don't understand" to you, okay lol, to me it means i can understand anything that it's possible for a human to understand because i simply am that smart if i couple it with effort, but still, since you can't ride the waves of a supernova explosion the word just means a big blue explosion in space or a mathematical equation to most people. That is not understanding the concept of a supernova explosion, that's barely scraping the surface.

I don't understand why we can't use all of our brain. I don't understand why even when lifting weights we only use around 10% of our muscle mass. Why does the human body limit itself, I want to be able to pull jedi mind tricks damnit. I know a lot of it is to prevent injury especially with the muscle but fuck that, we should be cooler than that.

I take all these "we only use so and so much of our brains" with a grain of salt. If I do dare go there, please provide a legitimate source for that information. A published article. I think it's mostly bogus, and I think it's more the case that the things we consciously control only need a tenth of the brain to function, while the rest is used for subconscious tasks like breathing, your heartbeat, your metabolism, and so forth. I feel fairly certain about this.

I had a friend who could do it. He had such long fingers. He was really tall, about 2m, had red hair, and he was hella skinny. The typical nerd character. Some times he'd throw both his hands up in the air and shake them around and his fingers would slap into his hand and make these clicking sounds. It looked hilarious.

I think it is a trick question. And the Zen master - Student teaching scenario would go a little something like this:

Master: What is the sound of one hand clapping?

Student: errm, ... let me think?

*Master claps student around the face with one hand*

Master: Don't think. Feel!

It's often said that we only use 10% of our brain, maybe that's what Aaron was talking about. In any case, that's false.

you know this whole clapping with one hand thing is pretty funny because I use that question to break the ice with a chick and it usually works everytime.

^ you will get a clap for saying that.
