This age thing in America is so twisted. People think statesmen of old were 80 year olds like Biden. No. They were in their 20s and 30s. This waste your youth away then get serious in your 40s is a psyop. Look at the age of Beethoven, Mozart and other composers when they died. Chopin did most of his work in his teens and 20s while having tuberculosis.
Modern society is extremely unproductive.
I’ve seen kids driving tractors in the farm…. Today they’d be having nap time at school, right after tranny reading hour.
Yep. I was driving a tractor as soon as I could reach the controls and a stick shift pickup as soon as I could depress the clutch and still see over the wheel. Kept it off the pavement till I was old enough. Been shooting for as long as I can remember. Doing manual labor as long as I can remember. I dare those city slicker commies to try something in the sticks lol.
Safe place TOO
Gun free zones in 1800s, can you imagine?
It's true though.. look at kids in China, Russia... they even depicted characters of kids in anime like Dragonball, One Piece, all to have started learning/working & apprenticeship, and gaining experience as young as 12 y.o and they're king of pirates or master Chef by the age of 18 and time to start a family. LOL
I myself wish my parents taught me this way..perhaps I'd have been a "master" of something now.. even carpentry would suffice.
Now you get your masters mid to late 20s and “begin” your career 15 years late.
Youre right. Parents sent kids to apprentice with someone in town.
The problem with that in modern times is you find out all too late the “masters”of today are pedophiles...
Correct.
They probably were then too. Many of the renaissance artists were at least bi, which speaks to a grooming
Yup.. and then college is so expensive. I think it's more useful to homeschool college level education to our teens starting from 12 and learn a skill ..masonry, woodwork, welder, blacksmith, mechanics, harvesting bees, cooking, and so on.
Asian parents focus much on music..but that's kinda silly because it doesn't produce anything for survival, just prestige and entertainment.
Music is about intelligence, information processing and discipline. IQs of violin and pianists are through the roof. Asians know what they are doing.
You can still be a Master of a Trade....
Just go to one of the Trade schools, or buy the Equipment for a Trade, and watch the online Videos, Practice is what it takes to get there, not some piece of Paper hanging on a wall....
My father had 3 college degrees and he always told me, 'It's not the smartest people that graduate college. It's the ones that keep going back, go back long enough and they will eventually hand you a degree'.
One of our professors told us the degree is helpful for getting hired not because of what we will know, but it shows that we have the stamina to get through another 4 years of school.
Yeah that's pretty much how it goes....
My Ex almost got her Doctorate in Accounting, but she had her second Husband do part of her Final Thesis, and he plagiarized all of what he contributed....
So, there it is, years of CollAge, and nothing to show for it, but she's ""Smart"".....
Ancient men conquered cities put them to the sword and fire, meanwhile you go to WINE BAR with "gf" and enjoy tasteful banter. YOU ARE GAY!!
