Thinking, Time, and Identity
Lincoln Stoller2019-10-10T01:56:35-07:00Many things come naturally to us, but thinking is not one of them. There are many forms of thinking. We are primarily taught only two: linear and emotional.
Creativity and Corporation
Lincoln Stoller2019-10-04T21:03:51-07:00The creative process is something unto itself and, like love or excitement, it does not aim for resolution... Real creation is, at some level, self-creation and the tragedy of an idea’s failure is a personal one.

Becoming Lucid
Lincoln Stoller2019-08-18T23:05:39-07:00"Over the years I’ve read much about lucid dreaming, but I’ve been frustrated that it’s mostly portrayed as an amusement park ride. Surely, there has to be more to it than spectacle and entertainment..."
Three Forms of Stress
Lincoln Stoller2019-02-15T15:02:39-07:00"There are many forms of relaxation: mental, physical, visceral, temporal, pertaining to health, exercise, work, play, or relationships, for a start. These feel different, require different means, and have different ends, but we distinguish them
