First, let me says thanks for the upvote, but don't upvote this if you like the discussion, I'm much more interested in intelligent engagement.
Do you think that tendency to simplify explains why so many people will just blindly latch on to someone and think of them as the most brilliant person to ever float 6" above the face of the planet?
Einstein knew a little about physics but I certainly wouldn't ask him what the secret to a happy & successful marriage was.
Mark Cuban knows how to squeeze money from a stone but I wouldn't read a book from him about humility. Truth be told there's not a book he could "author" that I'd bother reading.
People here, especially new ones will swarm around a whale or someone who consistently hits the Hot or Trending pages, taking every belch and fart as piece of transcendental wisdom handed down from the heavens. . (I'll admit to having stepped in that for the first few weeks.)
yes. our minds guide our desires. When we need something, the brain will just sum up with a hasty narrative and just deliver.
He got lucky. right place at the right time. He was the person who just pushed the tipping point. Sure, he knew about the subject matter as much as he knew about marriage. failing is the best teacher.
many authors claim they know and do things post-hoc of their actions. I will only read advice from someone writing a book about success, starting dead broke in a shed in Africa. by the 5th book, if he becomes a millionaire, then I will consider his ways. < my next post
yes. 90% of comments even mine are bullshit..people trying to get attention. I don't claim to be wise. I just like to read and write about how I digested that material. I am no writer. I am barely a designer.
Oh, see now I can't find anything on your blog about ,"I am barely a designer".
I spent 25+ years in mechanical design in the US Auto Industry, starting on a drafting board.

I do some designs left and right. You know, to camouflage all these senseless sophisms.
In the old days, I would have needed to go pull out one of my dictionaries.
Now I can just highlight and right click on "sophism".
Thank you for today's vocabulary lesson. ;-)
