Alas, Henry's time may soon be limited. Even now plans are being made to bring Henry in front of the Official Board of Educated Elite and face charges for being intolerably politically incorrect. If judged guilty he will be sent off to Timbuktu for reeducation so as to become an example of right thinking through education.

You probably learned it was wrong because you were able to work with your hands. The hands don't lie while the heart as the justifier of emotional BS does. Unfortunately it governs government controlled education.BardoXV wrote: ↑Thu Dec 05, 2019 3:23 pm I'm probably one of the educated elite, and I can't stand being politically correct. I taught Jr. HS shop metal and graphic arts and was qualified to teach wood, electricity, and drafting. When I left teaching I worked in a machine shop and a drafting room, at different times, and I found that almost everything I learned in college was wrong.
That's a good point: some of my most clarifying thinkin' happens when I'm bein' handy, am laboring (tapping on a keyboard doesn't count, but scribblin' with a pencil does).Nick_A wrote: ↑Thu Dec 05, 2019 3:53 pmYou probably learned it was wrong because you were able to work with your hands.

I agree Henry. The spirituality of work IMO is underestimated as a human value now that the world has been taken over by computers.

The benefits of conscious work as opposed to all the emotional reactions normally associated with work is largely unknown in the WestThe contemporary form of true greatness lies in a civilization founded on the spirituality of work.

I learned very quick that my teachers in HS and my professors in college didn't understand most of what they thought they knew.
