California's Central Coast Amid The Insanity
Followed Ian's shaper refurbishment project from beginning to end. While looking at his finalized test piece, it dawned on me why I'm not any kind of artist -- I lack the patience for fine details.
My theory has been that artistry skills were 100 percent gene related, and I lacked those genes. While not totally discounting that genes play a role, I've concluded that patience is the all important element.
Given that, my new theory is that artistry skills are 1 percent gene related and 99 percent patience related.

I hear you 462! "Creativity" is gene related. While I can apply data, reorient knowns and administer policy, can't make anything original worth squat. Can't draw a picture, write original thoughts just rearrange stuff. But I can predict the future by studying the past. And I think 95% of the people are like that or there wouldn't so many followers and few leaders.

And there's the problem -- the past seems to be untaught in the public schools. Many are trying to re-write it or erase it completely, too few are interested in studying it, and the rest are only caught up in the moment.
Because something was said or written six-thousand years ago doesn't mean that it's not relevant to today.
Could be that most of what is said or written today is not relevant.

I got to thinking a little bit today.
since you can just google everything now and don't need to know anything there ain't no sense in sending kids to school any longer than it takes to teach them how to work a google machine.
no need for engineers or mechanics to be trained,,, it's all right there at the end of your thumbs.

Human egg or chicken egg? I can see it now, PETA protesting the eating of eggs. Egg rights! Fertilized or unfertilized? Roosters are hen abusers.
