Because eventually youāll start preferring certain tasks over the others (the easier and more pleasant ones) and eventually youāll turn into an intellectual or academic (basically, out of touch with reality) who thinks heās too good For manual labor. (This is why I brought up the Jew, although I also stereotyped).
Hiring a plumber to fix your plumbing is not the same as doing the plumbing yourself. Delegating is not doing it, only paying for it and then taking credit for the work done, and Iāve seen a lot of that in the workplace and elsewhere. Did Cheops build the pyramid? I doubt he even lifted a single rock in his lifetime. Was Obama so great because he could come up with persuasive eloquent speeches? No, somebody else wrote them for him. The Jews have said that any animal can do manual labor but not anyone can think and that why they favor segregation of manual labor and intellectual work (or delegating as you say). To that I will say that even those who believe they are great thinkers are not necessarily even barely good thinkers. Sick or incompetent kind of thinking/imagining, even if creative, is not good thinking in my opinion, and a lot of that thinking is out of touch with reality because of this segregation. Thinking on paper or idealistically is not he same as implementing it in the real world. And then people wonder why such and such system fails (Iām talking about economic and political systems here)
All so true, Fuse, and be sure to teach your little ones that ~~ when they come into being. Well, not right away of course. They need to learn to walk first.
Found a bottle of acetaminophen in a trash can the other day. Opened it up last night to take some for a headache and found that somebody had stashed a sack of dope between the lid and the seal and probably threw it away forgetting that it was there.
Have you ever experienced walking into a room and seeing all the roaches randomly scatter away into all the nooks and crannies they can find as you turn on the light? Well, I think itās the same way with humans as they come face to face with bare reality and their own being. Itās amazing just how much of human creativity is about providing buffer between reality and the self.
I donāt like it!! So?! What is it with this modem prissy attitude? Someoneās got an idea that lifeās like being at a restaurant and going down a fucking menu. I like this, I donāt like that. It doesnāt always work like that in life, in fact, that would be an exception rather than the rule. If an enemy comes to your house will you say I donāt like this particular enemy I want another one, or why donāt you come in the evenings instead of mornings, when Iām ready. Iām seeing a lot of those picky challenge-seekers. Seeking custom challenges and then proclaiming themselves heroes and masters. Give me a break. There is a crucial difference between overcoming something you CHOSE to overcome and something you HAD TO overcome, because for the former you were ready beforehand, and the latter, the one you did not pick, is the one that really tested your abilities.
Entirely natural behavior.
Indeed, the one who thinks that one can solve any kind of problem that is thrown at him is the one who is being severely delusional.
There are limits. Everywhere.
There is no such a thing as absence of limits.
The very concept is meaningless.
This means that each one of us has limits.
We can solve some problems, thatās true, but there are also problems we canāt solve.
What youāre doing here is you are looking down upon people who canāt solve problems that (presumably) you can solve.
Youād exhibit the same exact behavior if you were forced to deal with a problem that was outside of your capabilities.
In other words, youād try to run away from it.
I bet you wouldnāt like it.
. I was not exempting myself from it, so there was no need to get defensive about it. Magnus, youāre the one trotting around here on a white horse in a dignified manner, telling everyone whatās whatā¦objectively. Iām just hobbling along through life on my braying donkey the best that I can, staying close to the ground, and that works for me.
But thanks for pointing it out to me anyway, you can probably see much further from your horse.
hee-haw! Time to get moving.
See you around, Magnus.
Magnus, you have been trolling Pandabear ever since she interacted in the education thread, like she really upset you by being too callous for a female. Whatās going on?
