Space/ Time Continuum Decision Making
April 7th, 2010 § Leave a Comment
Do you ever high-five your past self through the space-time continuum? For example, my choice not to take a math class this year merited some serious skin for Past Me. Although I appreciate math and even take pleasure in knowing and applying various equations, it takes much more brain strain than my other subjects. Incidentally, I have always chalked this up to my right-brain predominance. The point is that my nightly workload is essentially cut in half because of that day when I signed up for classes and thought about how Calculus might affect the happiness of Future Me. In the future, I envisioned tears, stress-induced breakouts, and general exhaustion. The whole concept makes me wonder about the alternate universe where we live by the alternative decision that never made its debut in this universe. I digress. Since I have trouble making decisions, I find the space-time continuum method a brilliant tool in decision evaluation.
