For me it’s time signatures in music. I grew up playing instruments, played in several orchestras, etc. But no matter how many times someone tries to explain time signatures to me, it makes no sense. I don’t understand why people place such importance on it. To me, notes have a pitch and a duration, maybe some dynamics. That’s it. I don’t understand why people try to needlessly complicate it. It doesn’t give you anything.

My wife will hear a song and go “Oh neat, it’s in 5/8.” And I’m like “How tf do you know that, and why does it matter?”

    Interesting approach. I like dreams as they’re stupid little processed version of what I’ve been preoccupied with and what I’ve lived recently.

    I can see the appeal of no dreams as you’ve put it. Same what I think of lucid dreaming. I just know I’ll start cramming work in there too.
