Metacognition: QE Essay

I pretty much wrote my QE essay in a couple of days. I didn't do the first section of it, and I half-assed the second section in one day. I definitely had the time to do it, but procrastination always gets the best of me. My thought process through the whole process was, "I'll do it tomorrow, naww I'll do it tomorrow, oh shit...". Again, as I've said in previous blogs, I wish I could concentrate on one thing for an extended period of time and avoid procrastination. Of course, this isn't going to happen any time soon.

I commented on one of Rayn's posts about the Susan Sontag essay. It basically said that American's were ignorant and that Susan Sontag is the man.

My response:

Hey bud. Since you commented on one of my little ditties, I thought I'd return the favor with a comment or two of my own.
Comment the first: I understand and agree that the media skews a story in order to get the people believe what they want them to believe.
Comment the second: It isn't purely an American thing, though. This happens all around the world, in all countries. The way I see it, most news stations, newspapers, magazines, etc. are not there to give people the facts. They are a business, out there just to make money. It doesn't matter what they say, so long as they get a good buck out of it. Example: the Mosque on Ground Zero. It is neither a Mosque, nor is it on Ground Zero. But that's what the media says so that we can get a kick out of it and get all pissy.
Comment the third: There are three sides to a story: your side, my side, and what really happened.

I also commented on Liz(zie's?) post about the big transitive property that you've introduced us to with the whole "being inside someone's mind who was in someone else's mind" and whatnot.

I said:

I thought I'd return the favor.

1. A while ago I was thinking about the question, "Do we ever cease to exist?". I will explain why this is relevant; hold your horses. My answer was no, the reason being that in one way or another, we've all impacted someone's life in some way. This influences who they are, even in the seemingly most insignificant ways at times. If we are able to shape people's thinking, beliefs, etc. then there's no way we can cease to exist. Basically, it's the transitive property. Being inside someone's mind who was in another person's mind who was in another person's mind, is the same thing that I was pondering a while back. And yes, what you said made sense.

Comment the second: Thank you for commenting on my blog. I actually really appreciate it.
