My bad: I thought wisdom came with age.
- h0l0cube 5y agoWhy do you presume me to be unwise? I think a better rhetorical strategy is not to be snarky, it telling of an underlying resentment, but doesn't change anyone's mind. samatman's response though a little heated, answered with knowledge and real world experience and has somewhat changed my perspective. I can't say my anecdotal experiences match theirs
- varelse 5y agoI've done OK avoiding the brainfarts of thought leaders and other fools so far. But I grew up surprisingly deep inside drug culture with 2 drug-dealing siblings and their drug-dealing shenanigans. Yet I believe there's nothing wrong with recreational drug use. But I know people firsthand that were messed up by bad batches, one permanently. Also, I find people who espouse fast paths to enlightenment are frequently closet psychotics. I avoid them too. YMMV but my lightcone, my choices, no? "If you meet Buddha on the road, kill him." - Lin Chi
