    Me too! As a kid I was absolutely convinced cats and dogs were the same species, just different genders. You could not convince me otherwise for years.

     

    You're secretly German! All hünde in Deutschland sind maskulin! All Katzen in Deutschland sind feminin! (My German teacher in high school used to say this, to my great amusement.)

  2. I recommended this in another thread, but Partially Examined Life is a philosophy podcast with a pretty irreverent though intelligent approach. I have learned a lot from it, and enjoy their banter, as they're longtime friends.

  3. It's maybe a little embarrassing for me to admit this, but I find the Bene Gesserit mantra pretty helpful actually:

    I must not fear.

    Fear is the mind-killer.

    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.

    I will face my fear.

    I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

    And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

    Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.

    Only I will remain.
