One night President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn’t too luxurious. When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the President’s Secret Service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner. Following this conversation President Obama asked Michelle, “Why was he so interested in talking to you?” She mentioned that in her teenage years, he had been madly in love with her. President Obama then said, “So if you had married him, you would now be the owner of this lovely restaurant,” to which Michelle responded, “No. If I had married him, he would now be the President.”

100% sure this is not true, but i still like the story. :)

Hank said that he hated how you can’t mention evolution without starting a stupid and uninteresting debate. He then said “As reference, see the stupid uninteresting debate in the comments below.” This is what I found.

God I love nerdfighteria.

This is beautiful.

“When I saw Shailene’s audition, it didn’t feel like she was playing Hazel; it really did feel like she was Hazel. It was surreal actually, the whole experience, because it was just like, it was there…there was really no question. There are auditions I will think about & treasure for a long time because there were so many people who were really, really great - but there was really no question, in my mind at least. She looked like Hazel, she sounded like Hazel, her every intonation was like Hazel, at least as I imagined her.”

edwardspoonhands:

The above video is one of the best ways possible to spend 10 minutes of time. Even though Vi, as she puts it “disagrees with my premise and conclusion” I think this video is a fantastic exploration of the underlying psychology of negative comments and how they affect us.

But let’s focus for a moment on my impression that all creators (with the possible exception of Vi Hart) are scared.

Anxiety is a bell curve, and Vi is on the very far part of the “not anxious” side of that bell curve. I’m closer to the middle, with a normal, workable amount of anxiety. And so standing on stage scares me…and so does creating a particularly personal YouTube video, or chatting up a stranger.

All that stuff is scary to me, and it’s scary to the vast majority of people. When I finished watching Vi’s video, I got the impression that she thought maybe there was something wrong with me because fear is a barrier that I have to work through. But I don’t think that’s true. If that fear literally prevents you from doing stuff, then that’s a problem, but if it’s an obstacle that you can, with dedication and bravery and biting of bullets, overcome…that’s normal.

I rely on fear, I even like it a little bit. I think we’re designed to be anxious about important stuff and that it’s a useful emotion.

So, yeah, I’m saying that Vi is weird, but we all knew that already. But I’m also saying that it isn’t the commenters I’m afraid of…it’s the act of sharing something that I care about and that I worked hard on and poured myself into. It’s the sharing of the self and making it open to criticism…the same criticism that I subject myself to internally…and the fear that my self-doubt will be reinforced by people’s opinions about my creations.

And, of course, I’m afraid of letting my audience down…making something for an audience that, despite their predisposition to like and enjoy me, they will dislike because it’s too different, too weird or too whatever.

I think that fear drives me to create better content…to try and understand my audience better, to try and understand myself and reality better. To work harder and to push myself to execute ideas more carefully and more fully.

So yeah, I am scared…and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.

i like vihart’s analysis and conclusions, and i like hank’s defense. they’re different, and they’re both awesome.
