But because of that, they're filthy rich.

Someone who doesn't know crap, but who can convince others they do know crap, is much superior to someone who knows crap and can't convince anyone of that fact.

I know quite a few people like this, it's scary how right they sound.

Wait what did Nukez say? I'd say he's the last person to take seriously, if he's not pretending to be some dumb troll/weeaboo he's too busy being emo.

Vacui Natale · 15/04/2012 07:39 PM

Nukez says dumb shit in general.

Also s-s-s-stop reading things I didn't mean to say! :(

Nah, doesn't cause any problems.

Depends in what way.
If all you care about is impressions on other people, then yes.

In every way.

Take happiness for example, I'd feel pretty awesome if I didn't know poo poo and still got a high management position, it'll be like, fuck yeah. On the other hand, if I was highly skilled but only got some average position because noone recognizes my skill, I'll go home feeling butthurt every day.

Managers are generally judged on their ability to manage, especially higher level management.

Also, happiness is highly subjective. Some derive happiness from being able to do something.

It was too redundant for my tastes after I read it (I was so flipping tired last night)

What type of teletubbies does your friend watch? I'm interested.

I also find it interesting that you try to discern how I feel about life from my words, it's an interesting thought but I don't see the reason behind it, maybe that's the reason you read my blog?

This is not MY material, but it was there and it was an article slapped with a name, because I pay respect to thoughts/ideas that aren't my own, I used it like any other respecting person should and talked about how I felt about it.

I think I DO need to stop being so personal with my writing and directing it at others because it pulls the readers interest as to "why is THIS guy telling me this" and it sort of provokes the reader into thinking about the source of the information rather than the information itself, thanks for pointing it out. I'm sorry that you feel somewhat intellectually threatened by my words, it's defeating the purpose of what I want this blog to be.

Also on the contrary, I'm a pretty happy person, but other than the reasons above, I don't know what you guys were trying to get at, please enlighten me.

and so:

Hi Tetris!
I'm sorry I called your material teletubby material, it's just that I was so intellectually threatened by your aggressive and violent words (such as "Let's all respect each other guys ") that I had to defend my mana some way or another.
I generally watch regular teletubbies, and I admit they usually don't delve too deep into cognitive psychology, although personally I think biological or psychological phenomena are not the best place to draw morals. Rather, thought and philosophy alone should be the basis of our morality, in my own opinion.
Also, please don't be less personal in your entries, this is a blog, not some scientific article. You got charm, and it augments your work.
And as for your personality, I'm just having a bit of fun here. At first, I interpreted you had some personal grievance with those who suffered under this Dunning Kruger Effect, and were referring to it bitterly. But after, when you drew positive morals out of this, I saw this optimist that saw good teachings stemming from the studies of our own flaws.
I think I've fitted all the pieces in. At least, I've gotten a few rows out, eh?

Hahahahah

Love,
Liams

Enjoy desu~

To actually get that far, you probably need skills in something other than management though.

Money gives you the ability to do almost everything.
