People could do this for conversations too! Imagine zoning out while your wife chats away, and then, bing!, you're alerted to the fact that she's about to tell you she's pregnant! Awesome!

I'd set my importance threshold to somewhere above "I think we should get the new curtains in puce" but below "and they only cost 500 dollars".

We're hiding from you! Check behind the couch
The 'missing link' headlines on pretty much every news item about this find are BS. The fossil record will always have holes cos only a tiny percentage of creatures manage to die in a way that eventually produces a discoverable fossil.

We don't need 'missing links' to validate Darwinian evolution. We've seen it happen in the lab, every counter-argument has been discredited and it has stood up to any and all scrutiny for 150 years.
