“

Along these lines, “wisdom” may be defined as the ability to not be dangerous. So what then is the point of education and experience? Your professors and teachers (and typical exam structure) would lead you to believe that you must cram as much information as possible into the shit you know category.

I am going to be bold and suggest that this is wrong. The goal isn’t to put as much as possible into the [shit you know] category, it’s to take as much as possible out of the [shit you don’t know you don’t know] category.

”

- No One Knows What the F*** They’re Doing (or “The 3 Types of Knowledge”)

This relates to something I learned a while a go: be skeptical of people who are absolutely certain about things. They tend to be unaware of the whole “shit they don’t know they don’t know” category.

"What the hell is wrong with you? Are you really going to wear that? Why aren’t you right now..."

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 10:39:34 -0700

“What the hell is wrong with you? Are you really going to wear that? Why aren’t you right now cooking me a nice meal and wearing those hot boy shorts you know I love and saying those words you know I want to hear at exactly the moment I like to hear them, to make me feel better about everything, even though I probably won’t?”

- Why are you so terribly disappointing?

This really struck a chord with me. As my mother says about my family “we’re never happy until we’re unhappy,” and that seems to be spreading like cholera.

Mon, 18 Jan 2010 21:12:16 -0700

“[…] public confidence in Newfoundland’s own government had been eroded by scandals during the late 1920s and early 1930s. In 1932, a group of demonstrators had actually occupied the parliament house and chased the prime minister through the streets in order to lynch him.”

- The Newfoundland lesson: during the 1930s, long before the IMF, the British Empire coped with a debt crisis in a small country. - Entrepreneur.com

That’s a “Heritage Moment” I want to see.

in which I become a lame oldster

Fri, 15 Jan 2010 16:52:20 -0700

Five years ago my friends and I were finishing up University. We wandered out into the world with freshly minted diplomas clutched to our chests and set about finding jobs and setting life goals. Of course this lead to a big collective freak-out, as we all realized the disconnect between how we’d been doing things up to that point, and what we were expected to be doing now that we’re adults.

Now that we’re all settling down with our particular things (or something), maybe we should reflect on those two big questions up there: how did I get here? where do I go now?

This is something K. and I were talking about the other day, some sort of project to explore the hows and whys behind our particular choice of life-path, what our priorities have become, what is success? All that crap that makes me sound like a lame, high school, career counselor.

I’m not really going anywhere with this at the moment, just announcing that I’m thinking about this, and that you should too (or else K. will come and cut your face, so you ain’t pretty no more).
