I'm sick of political science what should I switch my major to?
how about scientific politics
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-08.html
why (if you happen to have any sort of an idea) are people so obsessed with a nice view, such as one from the upper quadrant of a substantially sized mountain on the west coast, here there's even some funny looking personal housing built along the dome surfaces of these big mountains? it's like half the time there's literally not much but shrouds and palls as the only thing you get to stare at for a view, especially throughout pretty much the entire morning that i spend walking up there, nothing but a buncha billows for your view. if you're looking for a pretty view just look at a picture, or better yet high resolution video?
those are usually (as of yet) not so easily available in 3D in such a way that is not only stereoscopic for 2-eyes, but, even more importantly, actually behaves as a fixed 3D scene in real space as you move yourself relative to it
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-08.html
no, i just don't get it, and you can't say about this that you can say with other things such as, oh, just look at a picture of money, just look at a picture of girl, yeah obviously that wouldn't work, but in regards to a view, the sole purpose is to literally just look at it?
yes, in an actual 3D environment, which includes not only stereoscopicity between two eyes, but, more importantly, actual real-space 3D such that if you move your head or body from side to side you see it from different angles, and therefore it is actually perceived in real 3D space congruent to where you are
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-08.html
you can't spend it or feel it?
real (or correctly simulated) 3D scenes that exist congruently to your bodyspace do indeed envoke hella feelings
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-08.html
so yeah, let me know if you have any ideas as to why some people are so drawn in by a good view.
feels good, among other things
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-08.html

sometimes when i analyze a solo over a jazz standard i get too familiar with it and start to get convinced that the solo is just part of the song, it's the logical continuation of it. and then i have trouble trying to improvise over the piece myself, because 1. I feel compelled to just play the solo I analyzed, and 2. it's hard to improvise when i'm trying to AVOID playing the other thing. do you have any tips to break out of this?
sure. however far out you thought you were supposed to go, just go 100 times further out. for example, the box you are stuck inside is sort of magnetic. in order to get out, you have to actually fling so far away that the magnet can't get you. for example, here's what you might do: as soon as the solo section starts, don't even play anything. as soon as the audience (or, you) starts to believe that you actually might not play anything, then you may begin playing, but play actually a different song, in a different key, at a different tempo. enjoy. The hidden truth here is that you will actually slip back nicely into what the backing song moves you to do, but, unfortunately this only works if you are truly not expecting it. so what i'd suggest is to delete these last 2 sentences and then read this all again
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-08.html
I've considered transposing the song to a new key
yeah actually that might be enough

How to manage and successfully juggle competing priorities in life?
check out the daily rotations of the earth, and how the sun lights all around the world in turn. that's generally the right idea. if that's too fast, then check out the yearly orbit of the year (earth around the sun). if that's too slow, then check out weeks. those are man-made, but still pretty awesome

no
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-08.html
are you a very cynical person?
no. i don't grasp what that means, but whenever someone says someone is that, it seems like everyone's in a bad mood about it. the person and the other person. it's somehow related to bad feelings and bad moods and thinking everything is bad somehow. and i think it's better most of the time to not be like that. maybe some of the time be like that, but not too often

What do you do when you feel anxious about something you forgot?
that has 2 meanings. but if i know what the thing is, and i know i forgot to do it, then i treat it as an inevitable expieriment about what happens when i don't do this thing that i normally do. On the other hand, the other meaning, is that you know you forgot something but you don't even remember what the thing is. in that case, you gotta figure out what it is. play detective. the clues are all there. look at where you are, and if that doesn't work, then look at where everything else is
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-08.html
why don't people think so much of the meaning of everything anymore? they have much more time than they think they have.
i thought they do

Whenever I put a playlist with your songs, the beginning of I'm Scared surprises me because of how suddenly it starts compaered to the rest of your songs, was that on purpose?
yes
https://billwurtz.com/questions/questions-2023-08.html
sometimes i'm listening to a song and i hear a moment that sounds particularly beautiful, but then it just stops a couple seconds later, and i wonder if that was a conscious choice by the songmaker, or if they just could not manage to propagate that beauty to the rest of the song, which sounds good but not as good, if you know what i mean. thoughts?
the weird thing is, in churches (gospel churches, etc) they usually have the right idea. if something's good they keep doing it. outside the church, a lot of times people are too scared to do that for some reason. maybe they figure you're on your way to work or something, and don't have time

do you think the position of stars in the sky on your date of birth has a noteworthy impact on your personality
no, but it's the same thing that impacts them both. therefore, it's worth looking at. like a clock: for example, the clock doesn't control you, nor do you control what the clock says, but, *what time it is* affects both you and the clock. that's why people keep clocks around, just sort of as a second opinion as to what time it may be
