Talking, Pottery, and anachronisms

 I talked to my brother Eric for an hour and a half tonight. It was awesome.

Also, a few posts ago I mentioned something about quality and quantity. 

From https://plan.io/blog/why-quantity-beats-and-creates-quality/#:~:text=When%20the%20teacher%20scored%20all,churned%20out%20and%20learned%20from.:

 A great story about the effects of the quantity mindset is in the book Art and Fear. The story concerns a ceramics teacher, who split their class in two groups. One group was graded on the pure quantity of work they produced, simply by weighing each of their pots when the class was over. 50 pounds of pots would earn the student an A, 40 pounds a B, and so on.

The other half of the class was scored on quality. They were only tasked with making a single pot, but it had to be perfect for them to earn an A. When the teacher scored all the pottery, guess which group produced the best pots? The group that made more.

The more pots they created, the more mistakes they made, and the more they learned. By the end of the class, they were creating high-quality pots, due to all the quantity they'd churned out and learned from.

In other words, quantity produces quality.

OK, I'm tired and going to bed.

Speaking of OK, did you know the term OK was only created in 1839?

And the word "Hello" with that spelling only started becoming common in 1826?

In other words, in every single piece of literature or movie or anything that takes place before 1826 or 1839, and you hear them say "OK" or "Hello" you know it's an anachronism. Mind=Blown
