Perpetual motivation Theorem

It's 9:25, I have got up after a 6 hour sleep, got ready, walked downed to Hudson's at FPH for some muffin and some warm embrace of the loving Caffeine. Already I can feel the bookworm in me starting to wake. I'm usually most ambitious about study at dawn and dusk, or whenever I am not sitting in front of the books. Once I do get myself organised and sit down, the motivation begins to drain bit by bit, like losing protein in a nephrotic patient. The war of attrition eventually wins out and I end up on facebook 2 hours later. I do find that the more distractions that I need to address for, say, get some tissue or a new highlighter from across the room, the quicker my motivation thins out.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if from my seat, I can have access to everything that I ever need for study at arms length? Enough highlighters to colour the whole book, out or inside the line; all the caffeine I can take before crossing the seizure threshold; all the books I may need to look up the most obscure facts like, Dandy-Walker syndrome. No, even better, surround my work-station with a wall of glass and have the computer project onto it. It'd have to be multi-touchpoint controlled by detecting my hand movements like the one in Minority Report or Iron man. When I pull up textbooks, it'll automatically do a keyword search for whatever I am thinking, so I won't have to read more than a paragraph for my answer. A workstation is not complete without a mini-bar and snack trolley. And the seat turns into a treadmill when my bum numbs from all the sitting down.

I think I will be able to study forever in that seat, my motivation will never feign, like a perpetual motion machine. My 'Perpetual Motivation Theorem' therefore states that, when in a comfortable seat, and supported by well thought out features in a workstation, and with enough supplements; a person can, in theory, study forever without tire of whatever knowledge that is being pursued.

Science will get there one day. One day.
