- It occurred to me that perhaps meanness / being mean is a group activity, so I looked it up and it turns out that what meanness means has actually changed quite a bit over the years from the greeks to the present day
- "The arithmetic mean, also called the mathematical expectation or average, is the central value of a discrete set of numbers - specifically, the sum of the values divided by the number of values"
- I've read several reviews of the new Ricky Gervais show After Life, I think it looks really interesting, there's this odd anticipation about it, a bit like when you're about to go for a swim in the North Atlantic, you know it will be good but also that it's going to be really bloody nippy, and also maybe this part of the Atlantic is the bit you're not meant to swim in, even though no such bit exists, it feels like such a bit might in fact exist, and actually maybe it would make more sense to just go and have a warm bath instead - these aren't regular feelings I get when watching a show trailer, I'm curious to know what it is that is causing me to feel this way in this case, perhaps that's why it looks interesting, and actually I'd also kind of like to know what it's like to be mean all the time, worth remembering that other shows about being mean all the time are probably available
