This is what I do all day

My day:

I want to thank you for purchasing this book, or if you are a borrower, I want to thank you for taking the time to read it, or if it's an audiobook to listen. 

Or if it's being read to you, to listen, or if you bought it with the idea of returning it, to read it, or if you bought the audiobook with the idea of returning it, to listen, or if you borrowed it from a friend but intend to keep it, to read it, or if you borrowed the audiobook from a friend with the intent to keep it, to listen. Or if you found it on the ground and are illiterate, for staring blankly at the pages. Or if you found the audiobook on the ground and have no ears, for doing whatever you're doing with it.

They may not be problems at all. They may just be problematic.

Um...


In looking at the bigger picture we ask, to what extent does our personal heritage, physical and social environment juxtaposed the personal experiences and exposures thereof have impact on our condition and how might these alterations effect our program for future life events?

This is absolutely not a sentence. Next!

Comparisons, albeit simplistic, have been made between computer hardware/software and the cortex, while the limbic system, which is more chemical in nature, has been referred to as the emotional part of the brain.

So the cortex is the computer hardware and software and the limbic system is the emotional part of the computer? I don't think so, Angie.

Historically, it will be shown that...

Wait, future tense in the past?

Einstein, who worked from thought experiments from imagining these theories that was subsequently translated into mathematical equations.

Ack! You can't just put words next to each other and call it a sentence!

Perhaps to the layperson this is not an important question.




Good job. Way to alienate your stated target audience with your condescending air of importance.

In fact, endocrinologists may not even be notified!

For the love of god, somebody notify the endocrinologists! 

The Amygdala  Please note this is a subtopic under the Limbic System

Noted. Now what exactly do you expect me to do with your note?

DNA is probably a key component of who we are.

Probably? That suggests that possibly DNA is not a key component of who we are. I challenge you to exist without DNA. Go ahead. Do it.

By and large people, who are born devoid of vision, have a stronger degree of sensitivity.

You don't always need to put a comma before "who." Here you are stating that people are born devoid of vision. Or at least by and large people. I'm not sure what by people are, but I know some large people who were not born devoid of vision. Perhaps you should rethink your sentence construction.

[My blind friend] could enter a funeral chapel and know that a great deal of sadness was present.

Oh my god! It's like he's psychic! How could anyone possibly know that a funeral would involve sad people?!

I have created a brief questionnaire whereby we can look at some key questions from which we can judge our own positions.

OK, this is just getting tedious. Obviously the questionnaire contains questions. You're just padding your book with repetitive and irritating language.

Within a world of cooperation and positive effort, events are part and a healthy perspective, addressed and completed.

At this point I am unsure if I just don't understand things because my brain is numb or if that really makes as little sense as it seems.

There is a desire to want to be like such a person.

I really wish I wanted to be like that person. But apparently I do not have the desire to want to do it.

It is also important to note that situations and conditions are not inherently positive or negative. 

And another guy tries to make the point that we should view rape as a positive situation. Because sure.

These processes of assimilation and accommodation are a necessary process for forward movement.

The processes are a necessary process. Sigh.

When one recognizes that human beings are highly singular, complex human beings 

I'm not going to keep pointing these out because it's just depressing.

We will be looking at case studies that may be composites of different people with similar diagnoses 

Does this "psychologist" understand what a case study is? It's a study of a case. If it's a composite of many cases, that's not a case study. 

Thus, rather than working with the Darwinian model of evolution, our presence as well as that of all species may have evolved from particular space rocks that landed at particular sites. 

And this is where you lose me, folks. This person does not believe in evolution not because of creationism but because we actually evolved from space rocks. 

Good night, everybody!
