And the candidates I've seen are no good. The best person for the job is someone who doesn't want it.
Though the story goes that Washington didn't want the job, so he could have been okay.
- latency-guy2 3y agoIs that how that works? The guy with no experience in the job, does nothing all day, rejects work holistically, lives in his parent basement, is the single best person to do everything in the world? I'd think he's a depressed, useless, complete loser. The only thing I'd trust that guy with is my *coffee order, and that's questionable. I know you're mostly repeating a meme statement on the internet, but I'd wish it not be repeated, because we both know you don't really believe it. *I don't drink coffee. Probably never will.

- latency-guy2 3y agoDon't take it too far, there's people advocating for proto-democracy in this thread and not being treated like an idiot such as I am.
- vimax 3y agoNo, you think I said that "a person who doesn't want the job is best for the job." (Not want) implies (Qualified) What I said was "there is a best qualified person for the job, and that person does not want it." (Qualified) implies (Not Want) Presumably, because they understand what the job entails and have better things to do.

- hellotheretoday 3y agoYou’re conflating not want the job with not want a job
