Thorny thinking
# Chapter 280
10 hours of thinking and it is still not enough. Thorny problems are not easily solved, if they were, they would not be thorny and anyone could solve them. And I would argue that anyone can solve these thorny buggers but the majority aren’t remotely interested in giving these problems the solution hours they demand. And I did make some minor headway after 10 hours but I have not found the right resolution. But then again this is a multiyear problem and so 10 hours is not much effort toward resolving it in the bigger scheme of things.
Yes I did say multiyear problem. Some things are systemic and are highly intertwined with other systems and that makes for a very big multilayered knot to keep untying for years, and when you get this multilayered knot undone, you discover that there are several more underneath more knotty than the one you resolved. Don’t let this discourage you, let it inform you. These are not shoelaces we are metaphoring here! These are change the life, change the world level knots. This is to inspire you and show you how much you are needed and what is demanded to make headway on these huge problems.
Or you could sit at home and watch TV, complain and piss and moan about the state of affairs and not do anything to change anything. You could be the majority. You could play vids and YouTube the day away and in the end nothing will have changed or improved, especially you.
