Intellectual Intimacy In Your Area! | Schauer Thoughts

Uh-oh, the communal Schauer is getting intimate this week, intellectually intimate that is. We’re going over the new sensation sweeping the nation ~intellectual intimacy~ so get ready for a smattering of everything - from psychology to neuroscience to what’s happening in my relationship, no pumice stone will go unturned. Time to sit back and relax (to the best of your ability) because we’re starting with the gnarliest knots this nation has failed to address, welcome to Schauer Thoughts. Additionally: I do really apologize for this week’s sort of choppy presentation, there’s a Vyvanse shortage and my brain was truly struggling to organize thoughts. I hope everything made some semblance of sense. Thank you to all the people who send me DMs, helpful commenters, resourceful individuals, and those who just further meaningful conversation along, you all give me hope for the future. I appreciate your efforts to much and I’m wishing you nothing but the best.
