Stupid Americans?

People around the world generally seem to think that most Americans are stupid. Moreover, it seems like even Americans consider most Americans (sometimes even including themselves) to be stupid. For decades the greatest scientists from all over the world have been flocking to America, and Americans are stupid? What's going on here?

Immigration

After years and years of struggle with many battles won, and even more lost, my legal immigration war ended in my favor about a week ago. I am now officially a permanent US resident. Among my rights are the right to reside and work in the US and the right to leave and re-enter the US freely as I please. The coolest of all is that I'm going to have this status permanently, so I'm not going to have to renew it to keep my rights (except for when I apply for my citizenship in 5 years).

Long-term plans

Humans make plans. Plans to have a family, walk the dog, get a job, play piano... all kinds of plans. Making plans helps us get things done in a thought out, organized manner. In addition to making short-term plans, some humans make long-term plans. Some humans make 5 and even 10 year plans. I don’t believe anyone actually sticks to long-term plans they make. Life is so unpredictable that it is impossible to make plans that are going to stay relevant for as long as 5 or 10 years. Hopefully people’s plans change as they acquire new data and circumstances change. 5 years ago I could not even think of ever getting to where I am now, as I had no idea I was going to be fortunate enough to meet people I met who helped me and guided me along. I adjusted my plans accordingly.

Random Juggling Footage

My dad's been occasionally going to my practices and taping some stuff. He's gathered a bunch of footage from that. I've also had some older footage laying around. So I put together some of that footage that hasn't been put out yet. Here it is, hope you like it:
