I'm equally wary of the hubris in declaring one has defined all of the required variables for living well.
A review of ages of history would tell that nobody ever nails it down that fully. Everything has its price, including a bank account that never goes red.
- lliamander 5y agoThat has nothing to do with what caffeine actually said.
- 52-6F-62 5y agoWhat I said had to do with what you said. OP set out a prescription (quite literally defined adulthood for everyone), it was questioned and you criticized the questioners. I'm questioning the criticizing of the questioners. Why assume bad faith in the other comments? Try a different perspective while reading OP's comment. That is to say, the industrial-entrepreneurial worldview is a valid one. But there are many other valid ones besides.

I'm questioning the criticizing of the questioners. I'm correctly critiquing yourself and others for not actually understanding what caffeine said. It seems that you still don't. > Why assume bad faith in the other comments? Try a different perspective while reading OP's comment. I'm inferring bad faith on the basis that people seem to use caffeine's comment as a spring-board to engage in anti-capitalist rants, rather than actually engage with the quite reasonable career advice it was. > That is to say, the industrial-entrepreneurial worldview is a valid one. But there are many other valid ones besides. No one said it was the only one. Only that it is an important perspective to have on managing one's career.
- 52-6F-62 5y agoMaking the fundamental assumptions that everyone shares the same perspective on success in a career. Other world-views may take other positions. That doesn't make them wrong, or acting in bad faith.
- lliamander 5y agoHonestly, what do you think the OP is saying? Because I still don't think you've corrected your misconceptions.
- 52-6F-62 5y agoI wasn't commenting on OP's comment. I was commenting on yours. Shouldn't assume people are acting in bad faith simply because you disagree. If OP's advice is as sound as you think, then it should stand up to scrutiny, not shrink from it.
