Is it b/c of some understated 'cultural prestige' that when it comes to cattle we're more likely to use the word 'ranching' rather than 'herding'?. ___
In a 'post-scarcity, postindustrial, post-labour' world it's those who preferred school more than working who will have 'won out' and those who otherwise would have been workaday 'blue-collar' d---bags, insensitive and thuggish will 'fill the niche' of being 'bullies 2.0+' with the attitude which grew out/ emerge during the learning atmosphere of the labour investment processes being in a state where the questionable element of being able to regulate and express emotions constructively which emerged in adolescences* will remain and loudly 'roar' their inferiority complexes demanding nothing else but 'power over others' and the grueling consequences thereof.

It's the truth. All those mean people is school, with their cliquey groups. They simply go into the work place - they don't vanish. The bullying is worse, because it is much more subtle.
*which goodness knows only really caught on as a concept when public education was popularized and child labour laws meant a legitimized delay to an otherwise impressionable demographic who's physical/developmental state meant 'ample space' to become unwittingly convinced to be nothing really more than 'assets' who market their labour as other hierarchical tiers 'command' and are well suited to being cogs in a prioritization machine of consumerism, productivity and apathetic addiction.
I can follow up with explaining how a 'cognitive elite' of those who were committed to school that they became exceptionally specialized as far as labour markets go (ex. medical doctors)
A part of me, feels that unfortunately a substantial amount who enter such fields have fairly 'mercenary attitudes' not the least b/c how they might have felt a need to be overtly stating d---b---y overachievers during the painfully disorienting *high schooler phase.. I mean seriously, how easily can you imagine an insensitive d--b--y doctor as having been one to make fun of someone conspicuously sick if not already something of a 'social outcast' while they were kids, only to gradually care *after* the 'carrot on a stick' incentive of a ample or lucrative wages became known and present.
'Authentic care' is something you might find more in the person who made it an active avocation to turn to 'public scholarship' (like say a podcast or Youtube channel) about an interest they were or are committed and still 'passionate' about even though they might never really work in said field. For instance from what I've heard Hank Green has a chemistry degree but has probably spent his time more as a web/new media personality at this point than doing scientific work per se, aside from the 'public scholarship' or info-/edutainment of certain Youtube series like 'Crash course'.
It's different from the unambiguously overt-about-accomplishments high school 'ace' who talked out loud about his marks in calculus like it was some sport before becoming something of a software engineer and maybe driving away in a recent model car into a well-to-do neighbourhood of other post-tertiary economy sector participants who are also in your age demographic.
But frig, who knows..maybe with the way that internet is going (social media and socialization being recognized as more and more valid on forums and such) things might (re(?)-)adjust themselves/'balance out' even better, this time going forward.
Question is will you and I live long enough to see it happen?.
* this is one reason that for all the stereotypes of high functioning autistics entering 'STEM' fields it doesn't always make up an ample amount of the 'STEM' demographic..in terms of sheer numbers/percentages you are still likely to come across insensitive d---b---y overachievers albeit ones who are validly intellectually competent than say a labour demographic which is +85% autistic AND still has to interact with society to be held accountable/ responsible for products in which compromise to qualities can't (or shouldn't >:I be compromised) due to inelastic demand. It's the d---b---y overachievers who are more likely to become involved in say the corporate/commercial politics of a pharmaceutical company in my mind, than an autistic who might say prefer to remain in a people-interacting delimited area like doing technologist/lab work.
..I think I might know/have known ~'2' ppl who might have embodied 15~30% of those qualities I stated, not to mention at least one physician I disengaged from. __
Guys this happens, b/c I'm not hired..for a possible second job I would really like.
There is a fine line (pun not intended) btw being a comic book artist and an illustrator.
I'm aware of how the Final fantasy games are known for complicated plots and high-end cutscenes but I'm still fascinated and find it heartening to see someone tearful about the ending of a video game as it is yet another indicator of taking ~'new media' seriously and not letting the outdated bully like disparaging attitude of adults insensitively dismissing it as a 'waste of time' or 'stupid kid's stuff' be yielded too..an attitude which a part of me feels like saying can 'burn in a pit' >:I .
This one guy reminds me so much of Rob and the other guy reminds me so much of me...
A guy at the supermarket kept going on about 'gay boys'.
If a football club owns a TV channel of course it's biased.
I don't know if my dad knows I think he's boring.
I hope all the football clubs in UK don't become violent places again. Someone got on the pitch at Ibrox (I think - Aberdeen Rangers anyway) for a fight, then two days later some place in English premier league. And people keep throwing coins and bottles and one of the bottles was made of glass (Buckie bottle, Hibs Celtic, Hibs fan but I'm not defending us in this because someone threw a coin at Kris Boyd a week or so before that)
I don't know why people tell me really obvious things like common knowledge things as if I'll be surprised by them. I get that offline where they can see me as I look like a teenager. But online, I think I come across as intelligent and people still tell me basic things.
I don't know if I hate crying in front of non-familial persons more than I hate expressing fear in front of non-familial persons but I know that I hate it if both happen at once, on rare occasion.
When you wonder about how to make sense of a memory of a 'confession' of 'transference'.
That there will always be ppl who don't reciprocate or regulate temperament..that there will always be ppl who don't reciprocate or regulate temperament who I am around..to bare with that takes f---g religious faith.
I'm actually considering taking a break from theatre after this season. I have completely prove to myself that I'm able to get in projects quickly but it got to the point where I'm doing too much things at the same time and I can feel my sleep and health suffering from it.
Playing the show is fun but the rehearsal process can be less fun with the, sometimes harsh, feedback and criticism that you receive from the directors.
Called in sick today at college and I'm attempting to attend the rehearsals today as active as I'm able to do today.
