After Further Review
Often your first instinct is clearly the correct one; after quickly examining the scale the clearest and largest weight is routinely the heaviest. However, with merely a quick glance you may omit the other minute objects left on the table, which could inexplicably weigh more. Therefore, I must persist that time permissible all scenarios are weighted in order to prove your initial thesis.
For example, on further review is watching said television program earnestly the heaviest weighted thing on the table right now?
This I would imagine is obvious to all, yet it is done by so few in daily existence.

My Advice to Nerds (a nerd manefesto if you will)
I often give my brother a tongue-and-cheek hard time about being a "big nerd"; he has a good since of humor about it (though he was born a huge nerd, which is why my parents named him spencer). This had me thinking on why so many students at my brothers gifted high school were so socially annoying and or retarded. Why do nerds struggle so much socially and why do "jocks" hate them so much(rightfully so...damn nerds)?
My first advice to nerds would be to not worry about being the most socially gifted or popular, it is ultimately not that important. You were dealt a bad hand on that round, so don't worry if you don't clean up on it.
This is not to discount social skills; you ultimately don't want to be horrid with them. Therefore, the first thing the nerd should do is alter his paradigm; in doing this he should rightfully be confident in his mental prowess and should transfer that confidence so that it manifests that into social confidence. With that said, attempting to impress based entirely on your mental strengths is a strategy that has proven time-and-time again that it will get you-- beaten up. Therefore, nerds should put his or her perceptive study skills toward studying the funny kids and affable kids, who did not obtain their lofty status because of looks or athletic ability but because of hummor or philsophy. If you are simply not funny then at least be interesting in a currency with social value. If ultimately you enjoy talking about heisenberg microscope --awesome-- however, it couldn' hurt to first talking about sports or music. It is like that episode of the simpsons were Lisa tries to be cool, she pivots from youthful dialog to interesting nerdy talk about seashells.
In the long run nerds, you are far more valuable to society if you focus on your nerdy endevours. I am simply advocating this brief advice to encourage in your social time to flurish a tad. If you have the confidence your nerdy ways has bestowed on you and are at the very least affable then you should at least be able to occasionaly make small talk with the popular kids.

Demian by Hesse; insightful blurbs
This paragraph on page 29 of Herman Hesse Demian really struck me and caused me to ruminate over it.
Explaining the validity to his moral dilemma:
"I realize that some people will not believe that a child a little more than ten years is capable of having such feelings. MY story is not intended for them. I am telling it to those who have a better knowledge of man. The adult who has learned to translate a part of his feelings into thoughts notices the absence of these thoughts in a child, and therefore comes to believe that the child lacks these experiences, too Yet rarely in my life have I felt and suffered as deeply as at that time. "
Emil Sinclair
Demian view on religious laws: (pg 54)
"...That is why each of us has to find out for himself what is permitted and what is forbidden--forbidden for him. It's possible for one never to transgress a single law and still be a bastard. And vice versa. Actually it's only a question of convenience. Those who are too lazy and comfortable to think for themselves and their own judges obey the laws. Others sense their own laws within them; things are forbidden to them that every honorable man will do any day in the year and other things are allowed to them that are generally despised. Each person must stand on his own feet."
