What’s the most important thing to take into hospital with you?
My phone charger.
What not your toothbrush?
You can’t charge your phone with a toothbrush
You can’t clean your teeth with a phone charger either although you could use some tissue paperm
But suppose you have a heart attack?
I might have to ring 999.
If you’re capable of using your phone it seems unlikely that you’ve had a heart attack.
That depends on the person and how polite they are.
What’s politeness got to do with it?
You’ll find out one day
You want to keep it secret
Because it’s embarrassing that’s all
What else would you take with you to the hospital
My phone my toothbrush my comb
What about your boyfriend?
Only if it’s a mixed ward.
Do you think the beds will be wide enough for 2 people?
They might have to sleep on top of each other.
I don’t think the doctor would like that
Let’s change the subject. Which book would you take with you?
The penguin v book of comic versem
How ironic
No that’s a separate book ; irony is not the same as comedy
Sometimes irony can be funny
My goodness you are so intelligent. Have you ever taken an IQ test?
Yes the 11 plus
What did you get?
85
You must be very clever to be able to do maths at university with such a low IQ
It’s not that low’
half the population have an IQ of less than a hundred
Half the population have a height less than the average also.
Short and intellectual stunted and that’s just half the population 😄
Is it less than or equal to?
I can see that you did maths or statistics
The probability is greater than or equal to a half.
But a half of what?
They don’t tell you that even at Oxford
Did you not ask them?
No they are very cruel.
Once they said to me I don’t believe someonewith your intelligence does not understand infinite sequences and series
So I replied strangely if I could explain why I don’t understand infinite series and sequences then I would understand it wouldn’t I?
That is the paradox that we were always trying to escape from
But maybe it’s the paradox that’s the most important thing in life whether it’s in intellectual subjects or it’s the paradox of living with other people who claim to love you but also seem to hate you something that cannot be avoided
It’s as if life is in a big knot has been tied in the world and we can’t undo it
So the most important thing in life is learning how to live with paradoxes even though you would never know that that is what you were doing
So you can live a good life without knowing what you’re doing
That is what I believe but if you do know what you’re doing you can also explain it to other people though they may not thank you for it.
That’s the other paradox that you try to help people and it makes them angry.
I suppose we are all insecure to some degree
That’s why we keep trying these knots
Thank you very much Professor Blogge
Don’t mention it
Alright I won’t mention it Thank you very much
