In some domains progress comes like a giant sink hole. There’s a period of stagnation, followed by a small opening, followed by a few thing getting sucked into it, followed by a massive expansion and everything gets sucked into it. In other domains, progress comes like a tsunami sucking away the water from the beach. You go over some material and the tsunami comes roaring in and wipes the fuck out of everything in its path and leaves a little residue of meaningless debris; then you go over the same material again and the next tsunami leaves even more meaningless debris and residue.<br /><br />Thinking about growth structures as outlined by DFB reminds you that really shitty columnists often have the ability to completely flip their mental distortions into greater mental disorders. In many fields it pays to be informed and knowledgeable, but then in DFBs case it pays to be lazy, ill-informed, and write driveling bullshit, and be seemingly oblivious of his own retched, rotted growth structure.<br /><br /> “…campaigning, which is an instantly gratifying activity…” and “exponential activity” What in the blue fuck is that shit.<br /><br />I’m sure the letters used to create the words in DFB’s driveling growth structure salad must be embarrassed to be used in such a manner. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-62998588875286122552014-06-17T23:43:33.480-05:002014-06-17T23:43:33.480-05:00 I wonder what he thinks humiliation tastes like? ... I wonder what he thinks humiliation tastes like? Oh, oops, I used that word again.
