    I'm flabbergasted by the bit with the watch guy 😄
    I trained to be an accountant (because I wasn't outstanding enough for IT), and this stirs some deep emotions frankly. Personally the only thing I took from the accountancy training was the improvement to my organisation and also learning to be more formulaic (because it's easier/ quicker and more foolproof) but to be honest it's a pretty inefficient way to teach someone that because most of the years go to just memorizing fancy crap, same as with all other modern education probably.
    It gave me a thought just now, I like the movie title ''The making of a Shaolin master'' well, what if equally majestically you could have a story about '' The making of a road sweeper'' as I think that it's a good job for a ''man'' but climbing down the social ladder of your own free will is a difficult thing to do. And then what if by some wonderful fortune you then find a lean, sharp minded wife who would tolerate your measly salary - I think it would make for a good and intelligent story if it doesn't end up as a fail..

    • @Jackspiring
      @Jackspiring 3 роки тому

      I like the sound of that wife, but yeah man you’d end up in a lower paying job, still depressed (if thats you idk im speaking for me) and without other ‘thinking’ people it could spiral quickly, but if thats what you wanted to be out of your current bubble though and if the people you are working with are thinking people and show to have more to themselves than you thought i could see it being the wiser option. “The lion who walked among the sheep”

      if you go into a university education thinking it's supposed to teach you "organisation" or how to be "formulaic" and that the rest of it is just "memorising fancy crap" then that is what you will get. Modern Education isn't for "life lessons" -you can just get those by continuing to not die- it's for specific technical knowledge, and the fact that you think it's "just fancy crap" speaks volumes about why it didn't't "work" for you.

      ​@@hamishwhitehenderson5197 Well, all of us I'm sure have come across ridiculously long winded instruction manuals and of course they are nothing but ''specific technical knowledge'' as you had put it, but in reality the normal person just reads the main bits and just wings it.. it is the rest of it that I would categorize as ''fancy crap''. And your point about gaining knowledge and skills just by continuing not to die only applies unless you are not cooped up somewhere. I should've also made the point that I was merely advocating more job/ task specific training.

      @@fyodorseriencha6538 University students are by definition not cooped up somewhere. Many of them go to other countries to study and mots campuses have a far more diverse range of people than the places that surrounds them, at least in Europe and the UK where university is state subsidised in on way or another. And I'm pretty sure their is a very large difference between a washing machine manual and the Law of a given country or medical degree. If you just wing being an accountant (the funny thing about this guy is that he's obviously out of his dept) then you either won't get very far or more likely get disbarred.
      I live in a pseudo-rural part of the UK that borders London. It was one of the strongest areas for support of Brexit- and one of it's main political touch stones is how terribly left out everyone there feels about "mainstream politics"- despite being the current governments main support demographic. This usually involves some form of shitting on the educated as being out of touch and pretentious and all toffs anyway. Out of politeness I keep my mouth shut (well aware Mr. Gammon would never do that for me) and don't talk about being the first in my family to go to university.

      IT is not harder than accountancy. Its probably easier, you dont even need to memorize formulas as long as you know your references. I will probably die of boredom from memorizing formulas than building a website that can do those formulas.

      I’ve listened to interviews with John, and he says he hired a few other camera people after the first season and trained them to look for similar stuff that he looks for when walking around the city.
      They all walk around and shoot a bunch of “National Geographic in New York” footage for months with a very trained eye on what is weird and interesting about city life. After that, it’s a couple months of reviewing the footage and writing (he has a writers’ room) to try to piece together a narrative of what they find interesting about the stuff they found while filming and create a through-line for each episode based on the hours of assorted film footage.

      In the case of the guy paying for everyone's meals, it likely would. He gets the full expense as a business write-off, and then he also gets his friends to pay their share of the meal. Say he spends 200$, his friends paid him 160$, and his tax rate is 50%. He'll get 100$ back as a write off, since money he was using for business won't be taxed. That means he made a 60$ total, having personally had a 40$ meal. If the IRS were hyper-intelligent, they'd catch that the friends he was having a business dinner with paid him their meals that night, so it wasn't an expense, but until they manage that you can truly profit from expensing things.

    It goes back to our proto-human primate brains, even chimpanzees, capuccian monkeys, orangutans and other primates have the same concept of fairness, a monkey who sees another monkey given fruit, whilst they are given monkey chow, they throw it back at the zookeeper or scientist zoologist doing the study and hold their hand back out for fruit. Ours is pretty overly-complicated as per usual though.
