flat earth round earth

so ive been meaning to read rich dad poor dad. but my current thinking has lead me to believe that whatever is actually in the book itll boil down to flat earth round earth.

flat earth round earth is basically the argument im working on (not really, unless thinking about it all the time can qualify and pass for argument these days. how about monologistifying to myself about. daily. hourly. all right im talking to myself and arguing. there. i said it) but a lot of things fall into the flat earth round earth argument structure. perspectivising. creative writing has ruined my vocabulary. or maybe just english...

so the whole flat earth round earth thing is this: if you live in a world that says the earth is flat you gain nothing from knowing that it is actually round. in fact you would experience increased success and opportunities for success if you at least behaved as though the earth were indeed flat. fast forward to today... the opposite is true but thats only because the consensus is that the world is round.



so where does the modern predicament come in? good question. does a person get farther by fitting into common tracts of experiences? yes. i would argue yes. if your experience is simple to understand in terms that are common to descriptions of experiences in popular media then you do get farther. the more specialized and unique you are the greater your chances for failure.

for a minority of people the devil really is in the details. because they dont fit into common tracts of experience and complications blossom and abound and make progress difficult if not impossible. but in a structured society i guess there is only so much tolerance or should i say "tolerance" for deviation. i.e. if someone has mommy daddy issues, there are only so many kinds of mommy daddy issues covered by common popular experience or media portrayals that will allow people to access, identify, and respond to those specific mommy daddy issues in a meaningful and positive way. when those experiences fall outside those boundaries responses turn negative (like a kid tasting radically different food. their response isnt a like or hate it response as much as it is a unfamiliar [and thus gross] familiar response). when that happens you are living on a round world in a flat universe.

its not that people dont know how to respond as much as it is a response simply is not forth coming that is meaningful or positive (in that meaningful responses are generally posit...) well i just got way too technical. i guess what im trying to say is for every unique world changing personality there are entire country populating amounts of people just as unique or fucked up who will never experience that golden ratio of fucked upness to relatability. thats what im trying to say. flat earth round earth.

basically im seeing life in 4 dimensions and i somehow need to get back to one. enter chemicals.

but before i go, rich dad poor dad. that book. in that book i believe i will read about how planning and temperament and education and savings and taking a longer perspective in general will make a rich dad and that rich dads make rich kids who become rich dads... but i severely doubt that i will read anything that will turn poor dads into rich dads. not that poor dads would know what to do with money to begin with (an argument for another time) buuut rich dad poor dad is basically flat earth round earth framed around money instead of human experience.i think. i assume. possibly. i dunno

i just do not know. im never going to read that book.

the measure of information i know for certain i could probably write in one sentence. that information is coming soon. one sentence. next post. promise.
