But statisticians say

A

We’re all the same
We follow fame, okay
So do what father tells you to
And buy what Temu sells to you

Q

C’mon copy society

A

Don’t be dumb
See my numbers
And gods can’t lie
They yell what’s true
And if you don’t say so too
Oh well, you’re going to hell

Q

The number god spoke to me, my friends

A

Think not of new earth shattering events
Just follow the past.
Follow last years trends
Trust me. I know how it ends.

Q

What does light cost?

A

It’s almost free
But if we lost all light
All day and all night
We would pay anything to see
Darkness is creepy and crappy

Q

And all their water is icy - Boohoo

A

But that’s also true for the eskimo

Q

Is your mind even like mine

A

Maybe side by side with a frogs
But most words are fuzzy, so stop your fuzz

Q

How to store other peoples’ labor
That’s money

And money is like honey
But most goods are not
They are hard to divide
Or might spoil over night

Q

Honey is like money

A

We share it like cake
And it’s hard to fake
But unlike cake, money and honey don’t rot
Sadly shiny money and honey weighs a lot

Q

So we made paper money

A

But now paper money is almost gone
Because the bank build a search tree.
They climb the tree to see who owns who money

Q

And smart plastic cards can talk to the tree

A

So when you buy something in the stores
Your card calls the bank,
And tells the tree to change some numbers
That’s way easier than moving around honey
So soon you’ll touch, the very last money

Q

The Dodo was a bird, that lived way back

A

And it were always on the right track
In it’s small pound, it was a big shot
It’s only a crime if you get caught

Q

The bird lacked feedback

A

From the world
They got out of whack
The wings grew short
And laying big eggs
Became the new sport
But where’s the dodo now?
Oh no!
There’s no one back

Q

They forget how to fly

A

Because there was nothing to fear
Nobody though it was a snack
But when the sailors came by
The bird wished for big wings
But they didn’t get them back

Q

And it learned too slow

A

So sad, it had to go
Trouble is what you know
That sadly ain’t so
Like people trading stocks
Those people are going to blow
They think the stock is good
Because the past say so

Q

Time tested truth

A

That’s a big no no
Don’t be a dodo
In a changing world

Q

My numbers were true in the past

A

Bubbles just burst so fast
How can telling the truth be a sin
It seemed like a good idea at the time
How can changing my mind be a crime
Because you don’t know why you win

Q

Changing my mind is what I do

A

When I see I’m wrong
And so do you
But so what

And it need to explain a lot

Q

How did you know your winning
streak would last

A

The future is not the past
Mines run out of gold
New things get old
Hot stuff gets cold
Don’t make promises you can’t hold

Big words blindfold people
They really though you knew And that’s evil It’s a big no no To make somebody Into a dodo
26
Don’t just say what you see
Always point at an authority Who can cover your ass Is that glass? I don’t know We haven’t had about that in class You´ll never be young and clever A kid is a joker, not a voter
27
That’s yummy
I think I’ll retry it But wait what Now it’s yucky And it looked the same
28
So, I don’t know what to do
Random feedback screws with you Patterns in lights blinking by chance Make pigeons dance Cured by losing blood Cured a pray to god
29
But why did it work
Isn’t that odd It looks like pure luck Does it not? Dice explain nothing They only tell lies About what they once did And lucky fools get fooled by it
30
Randomness make mess
If they think they have skills When they don’t Explain your skills or get owned
31
Don’t just say what you see
Always ask an authority Who can cover your ass Is that a glass? Yes, I guess No! You don’t know that We haven’t had about that in class
32
Young ones are never clever
A kid is a joker, not a voter A slow learner, not a creator And stop that whistleblower Stop that crow Because i say so
33
When angry or sad
We tell a lie to be happy
34
Good explanations are hard to vary
They do a good job But change them a tiny bit And they’ll be worse at it
35
Saws saw
Wings fly Fish swim Hands hold Hammers hit Shit is shit, just get rid of it
36
Butchers butcher meat
Bacon smells sweet Pain alarms Pigs Pigs ignore pearls
37
Hearts pump blood
People think thoughts Life likes water a lot But not too hot Trees steal light Keys open locks
38
Jokes clean minds of all kinds
Kids love guns Boys aren’t girls Planets circle suns The earth tilts to one side Causing a polar night
39
Words point at stuff
Lies bluff We die because we don’t know enough A cold wants you to cough Bullshit cut off new info
40
Parents rule because they say so
What you see is what you guess Hot air weighs less Ants try to kill Anteaters Antilopes try to cheaters Gossip catch cheaters
41
Genes want a big family
Human creativity can disagree Nerd-vira cut out thoughts about any family Siblings fight over their mother Flowers bribe bees with sugar
42
Families fight each other
Policemen keep order Hungry mothers eat runts Fish bite worms and worm hooks Babies need cute looks
43
Kids fear dark lonely beds
Lions eat apes at night Apes, but not dogs, see red Human are great apes Apes hate sour grapes Sour fruit isn’t ape food
43
Fuel is food
Mules got too messy genes to get kids Inbred genes killed kings with funny lips
44
All these things are true
They are to vary explanations That’s what makes them true And that’s why they spread
45
But we often get
Bad explanations into our head Instead of being true, they are sticky They somehow stick better in memory
46
Sticky ideas are often very simple
or risky, or angry, or awesome or funny And they sticks even better If they’re in a story Or a catchy song
47
Experts use long words to warn kids
The kids yawn because it’s boring Make an earworm. Sing a song Baby shark has a good ring to it A song with long words won’t be a hit
48
Short words are more better heard
But experts make long word turds And when they talk to everyone Who don’t find their hobby fun Their long words are poison Gobbledygook kills reason
49
Make a billion different ones
And lean back and look on Childless creatures are soon gone And then your job done Only the good ones could get kids Who got kids and so on
49
Consciousness is not the top
It’s the view halfway up If you think you see it all That’s a bad call You are going to fall
49
Search to find
Guess to know No instruction from without Knowledge is all about doubt We can know it all How to find the best animal
50
Do you know about you blind spot
And why your spouse it hot? Why you dislike snot? I guess not
50
Grand parents write the history of everyone
But we have one more way to write history We can make an idea or a story That gets kids, which get kids and so on Only winner write history
51
Like your smart phone
Most of the reason why you work Are not known We need a mind engineer Who can peer who into our mind Who knows what he’ll find?
52
Suddenly there were chimes from a clock
You heard the third one and somehow I knew about the first two
53
You need to guess what you see
To just observe is an impossibility If you can Misspeak And also mis-think So think twice Or pay the price
54
Can I force ideas into your head
Like, that you once killed your pet A man once mistook his wife for a hat People often mistook other people for cattle But today racist ideas have a bad smell The good ideas win the battle People are people
55
A murder is committed under a tree
Tom, Pierre and Sherlock know about the felony But how! Through the radio And through a window And through a criminal investigation The information also falls on a leaf But the leaf gets no such belief
56
Books are a mirror
You need to guess what you see If you want to see danger, that’s what you see
