A few days ago, I wrote about the illusion of age, that just because you’ve been around a long time doesn’t mean you have a fucking clue what you’re talking about.
I still hold this and it’s an idea that I heard originally from Stefan Molyneux of Freedomain.
Now people will come back with the usual platitudes, e.g. (a comment on my YouTube video of the same subject)
“Sure, young or old, everyone can be wrong. But, as a rule of thumb, older people’s opinions do deserve more weight because they have the irreplaceable benefit of experience, of having been there and seen things. We cast away such experience at our peril.”
But clearly we’re indulging in circular arguments. The truth is, most people don’t see. Eye witness testimony is the least reliable because people don’t see what happens, they see what they believe.
I’ve had a cold for a bit and it’s somewhat relentless, the first I’ve had in a few years. It’s undignified, it’s rather annoying and I’m in the final stages now where it feels like it will never pass, but it will. I think, what can I do with my day today? I don’t really feel like doing much.
I’ve done a spot of vacuuming, rearranged some things at home, eaten a bit but not a lot.
There are some days you’ll simply go through the motions but, please observe, that even on the blah days, you do get stuff done. Thumbs up!
