(October 31, 2019 at 7:09 pm)Gae Bolga Wrote: Our irrational valuation of self reliance is probably why we stagnated for 50k years after full modernity, btw.  There's a lovely presentation on that comparing a hand axe to a mouse, if I can find it.

For awhile, it seems that every human being on earth knew how to make all the stuff, and most of the stuff was remarkably the same as any other bit of stuff.  Life fucking -blew-.  High art was stick figures, pop music was a bunch of whistles, hi tech was stone flakes, and wealth could be measured in the relative number of nights spent cold and starving.

^^^


I can put my time into one of three buckets:

1. Things I do because I want to do them.
2. Things I do that my employer pays me handsomely for.
3. Sleep.

Being my own mechanic necessarily borrows from one of these three buckets.

Borrowing from #1 or #3 is not happening, ever. Borrowing from #2 is usually dumb from an economic standpoint.

If my employer paid me less handsomely, borrowing from #1 might be palatable and borrowing from #3 might make economic sense.

I suspect the OP has difficulty putting himself in other's shoes, or just simply lacks imagination, or perhaps they just like to boast and imagine themselves superior.

Contemplating that further definitely doesn't fit into bucket #1 though
