yeah I get it. I was kind of goofing around because now we are truly lost on a funny farm surrounded by fake plastic trees if we offshore our thinking.

so it's a good thing that all of us are having to do our own homework. we're better off for it. just means were better prepared/equipped for the inevitable

default should be that it's not true. that makes for a more efficient starting point. we probably shouldve been at that default 15 years ago.

Give a man a "shrunk wrapped" fish too long and they can't see that their source can no longer fish....they're simply "farmed" from the same fetid puddles

Teach a man to fish and he stays off the "farm" with all the other sheep - he becomes the Sheppard of a sea of information the "guppies" think come from puddles.

Trust your gut. Trust yourself. Trust your homework. Trust that you will recognize when you got the homework wrong. Trust your navigation.
