you don't prepare for 'things'

Narrowing is very important yes

you prepare YOURSELF

You develop a skillset/general experience

everyone has to filter by neccesity

but you should filter AFTER you cast the largest net

not before

I know one Otaku who's going to be first, hbu guys?

Part of intelligence is the ability to apply what you've experienced to new situations

you should frame before you even cast the net

otherwise, you throw away options you would have otherwise considered

exactly, svar

intelligence is the integration of knowledge and experience for the purpose of quick application

@SideTracker What if i told you your country is crumbling and youre too busy sperging over BREXIT

when does some nugget of knowledge become unapplicable?

"After a 1000th referendum, BREXIT fails"

Britbongs in 2064: NO WAY!

Dunno MA everything has some use, sometimes it's obscure

:p

gotta love democracy

good judgement is more valuable than knowledge as infinite knowledge without a filter for relevance is useles

not what i meant, Svar

That on scene reporting on london bridge made me feel like i was in Punjab, India or Saudi Arabia <:TripleMonkas:491962237938827264>

>Diversity is beautiful

Democracy is aight, and I've got to say my civics teachers were right all along: democracy falls when people forget why it's the way we decided to do it

what i meant is that the difference between knowledge and understanding is that when you understand something, you recognize when something that normally applies is no longer applicable

Zoomers will initiate the 4th reich as soon as they're done fucking each other in the middle school bathroom

Jesus ok that's convoluted but there's something to it

there is usually a trade-off between being about to articulate information and being able to apply something

the technician understands but can't articulate. the engineers can articulate but his understanding is less

Ye I'm the performer not the trainer lol

i had a box i designed once. build the initial prototype, did the drawings, was installed at like 30 plants. then 3 yrs later i get a call from a tech about a problem. he asks specific questions i didn't know the answer to off hand. then he is like, "didn't you DESIGN this thing?"

I told him, 'That was 3 yrs ago. I haven't LOOKED at the thing or thought about it since. You have any CLUE how many dwgs i have seen since then? you deal with it EVERYDAY. if you DO NOT understand it better than I do by now, you have a problem"

... such is the plight of the boomer

@svarozhyc

Lol Tru tru

It's better to be really, really good at one or a few things

Anyone who says they can do it all is just saying they're either mediocre at everything or they can't do anything at all
