At first I thought that tumblr has a new notification for when someone likes your posts. Turns out it was just a post that started with "on many ways Tumblr is truly garbage"

Yay, I got tagged! :P

I got tagged by ScienceAddict - Yeah thanks xD

Answer the questions from the person who tagged you

Write 11 new ones

Tag 11 people

Actually tell them you tagged them

Questions I was asked:

1. If you could meet anyone in the history of the universe, who would you choose?

Ohhh, dude, it's so hard to answer :P

Maybe Einstein, he is so awesome, his life is so interesting, he's a thrilling person (ahhh yeah he's so interesting xD)

Or Carl Sagan, he's also such a legend...

2. What is the most important subject that you think should be involved in the school curriculum (like something that there already is, or something that’s not normally in a school curriculum).

Maybe a subject called 'logic', which includes creative problem-solving and thought by one's self. This is so fucking important!

3. Favourite actor?

Oh dude, if I knew :P I watch to less movies lol 

4. Favourite scientist, but for reasons not directly to do with their research?

Like in question1... Einstein is awesome, for me he is also something like a symbol for strength just as Carl Sagan...

5. Who was the teacher who impacted your life the most, and how?

I truly don't know... ._. I had to change so many times the schools (so I knew soo many teachers)... But if I think about it, my current math teacher impacted me... Together with some things I found it by myself I began to love math... And she showed me how freaking easy it truly is. Therefor I am thankful ^-^ 

6. If you had to study something that isn’t what you want to or are, what would you choose?

Meh... I would NEVER study something like jura, psychology and absolutely NOT theology! But everything scientific and technical, which needs reasoning and logic, is okay... (My favorite is physics anyway :P )

7. What is your favourite art style?

Definitely surrealism!

I mean art is, like ScienceAddict said, a kind of subjective view about the world... Surrealism in connection with science is the most awesome for me! Surrealism is like the view inside one's self... And if I connect it with logic I begin to understand myself and the topics I think about better. 

Currently I am writing a text, called "The hunted reality", the first chapter is called "The view between mirrors - the abstract scientist"... What I want to mention there is the artistic scientist, or the scientist that educates himself through art - in my sense through surreal art.

I myself draw surrealistic pictures and for me it is like grasping the subconscious and to make it conscious. It is thrilling how I build bridges between my mind and my intuition through this. I can't describe this feel, but it is beautiful. 

I love surrealism most, but other art is awesome as well!

Btw my favorite artist is M.C. Escher. (i don't even know if he is a surrealist or not lol, but art like by MC Escher is awesome as well)

8. Videogames, tv, or movies?

I don't watch often TV or movies, I sleep to often or just relax xD 

But sometimes I play videogames - just simple ones, like car games xD They are so simple but addictive haha :D

9. Do you think the way science is presented in pop culture good, bad, or in between, and why?

I think it is not that good represented... Lots of people have too much trust in scientists and therfor they believe everything when someone says "scientists found out that..."

I think most people don't know science the way it is - the simplicity of the scientific method and the beauty in there...

10. How important do you think maths is in real life?

I think it is more important than most people think  - but not that important. Let me explain:

Math needs logic and exactly THIS is important. In my school nowhere else (just a little bit in physics and chemistry) than in math you need complex logic...

(The sad part in physics in our school is that you don't even have to understand it to get good grades... you only have to remind the things of your notes - sadly)

11. Do you have a role model, if so, who and if not, why not?

It's Richard Feynman and Carl Sagan!

Richard Feynman because he was so funny and could explain things so well! He's truly awesome and made physics even more awesome.

And Carl Sagan just because he is truly a legend!

He is something like a perfect fusion of art, science, poetry and philosophy. Brilliant man, badass scientist, beautiful mind, and somehow heartful...

My questions:

1. What is your view about teachers who fail pedagogically?

2. Who is your idol and why?

3. What do you think about "educating through art"?

4. Did you ever just stoppend and asked yourself why you are a human and why you live now and here?

5. Do you think IQ tests really measure the intelligence?

6. How many languages do you speak and which?

7. Do you see math as a kind of art?

8. What do you do if you are bored during lessons?

9. If you want to study, what would you choose? (If you already study, what do you study?)

10. which subject/s at school do/did you hate most, which do/did you like most?

11. Creativity is, in my view, just another side of logic. Would you agree?

Now I will tag some people :P
