Snake oil came first. By a likely ~ +50k years


The entire path re professionalism, in all possible ways... is rooted in the thing that came first ---- snake oil. Something that was in play the whole time....of predating ideas on professionalism -----for a likely 50,000 plus years.

To attack the very thing that bought about and formed -hell no, Defines- human intellect?

Study suggests shamans acted as the first professional class in human society
 
Could be an interesting discussion but I expect degeneration will set in quite soon.

"Gosh, people sure have a lot of pent up psychotic energy."
Remember my "professional help advised"?

It took you a while to figure it out.
Guys, try to use "interpretation" instead of "perception" and it may get less tricky. Not ideal, but simpler.
geoffkait,

Unexpectedly, when advising about help, I did not have you on my mind. However, if you need help, I am really not the one to call. You just do not fit the category of who I can help.
geoffkait, n80,

I abstain from this hearing/perception war but I did see an opportunity to use placebo.

When it comes to physiology, many mention it, it is almost inevitable when talking about humans which listening to music actually is. Sometimes, statements are a bit off, but, so far, I have encountered only one member who is certifiably clueless about it. And arrogant to match it and then some. All be glad he has not started spilling his wit and wisdom on this particular thread. Taking it into perspective, geoffkait sometimes does make a point. Two of you can decide if that is now, but I am just saying "it can get much worse".
n80,

With some experience, you will interpret and perceive geoffkait differently. There is a lot of semantics involved. geoffkait, Geoff, Kitty...
geoffkait,

"...but you can barely put two sentences together."
My consolation is that I am still twice as good as you at that. Or at anything else. Which is not much of a virtue, but at least I am not at the bottom.
"engineering is born out of middle ages bombmakers for warfare..."
Maybe English word "engineering". Not engineering as constructing/inventing something.
Going back to physiology?

"An ordinary man has no means of deliverance."
Women do.
"...utter the words ordinary man and poof! Glubson shows up."
Opposites attract.
There is a lots of past going on here. It takes some time to gather past. Lots of military talk, too. Who would have guessed it is on the fuse vs. wire direction vs. timbre forum. Nothing wrong with a little lighter topic, especially on a self-indulgent thread like this.
