Rock, Paper, Scissors

"Rock, paper, scissors" is awesome. It beats eany- meany- mini- mo any day. Today in TOK we played "rock, paper, scissors" to decide the order that we will learn the material. Mr. Wilcox told us that we got to decide, and Katie Clark suggested that we play "rock, paper, scissors" for it. So we did. I was the representative for emotion. I got second. "Rock, paper, scissors" decided that the order we would learn the material in would be reason, then emotion, then perception, and finally language.
What if government made decisions that way? The President of the United States elected by "rock, paper, scissors". That would be insane. Our country would be awful if that were the case.
"Rock, paper, scissors" is a great idea for small decisions, but not so much for the big ones.

We are watching The Truman Show in TOK right now. We are almost done with it and it is a pretty good movie thus far. I've seen the movie before, but I was probably ten when I watched it last. When I saw it then, i remember checking for hidden cameras to find out if I was on a TV show. I never found any hidden cameras. Watching the movie again makes me question the matter again. I think to myself that my life is too boring to be a television show, but Truman's life is very boring as well. Am I on "The Ben Show"? Maybe viewers are reading this blog and seeing how close I am to discovering the real world?
I doubt it.
