Yes, everyone has the POTENTIAL to learn from their mistakes. But these are not mistakes like you would make in carpentry or driving or typing. These are mistakes that shake the very core of self belief in people.
It requires them now to enter and excercise in the Gym of the mind. The entry ticket price is so high that very few are prepared to pay it. And even if they just only pay lip service to the Gym for argument's sake, in any event they are not willing or not able to do the workouts, but usually both.

Well, in another thread, and I cannot at this moment remember, but I give all the reasons for stops, first at a mechanical level, then at a mental / intuitive level. It is just that people view them as a sort of affront.
They don't like to be contradicated, that is the problem. They prefer to suffer loss and pain at the expense of being contradicted. There is no point in me going on and on about it, they do what they like in the end.
BUT, we need more cannon fodder, the more the better. More cannon fodder please.

Actually, now that you mention it, my avatar is incomplete.RUDEBOY said:
In my circle, we have a phrase, "only in ourselves we trust".
This is a motto that encircles the pyramid.
We are having some cufflinks made up, tiepins, and lapel pins, to wear on special occasions, for fun and to remind ourselves to steer clear of the drillers.

Salty, I am shocked at your lack of awareness of sartorial elegance.Salty Gibbon said:
And even more surprised at your lack of awareness of the proliferation of drillers.
But what universe are you currently inhabiting at the moment, Salty ?
You are not yourself today.

Soc, I retired on my 50th birthday a couple of years ago.
I have never worn a tie since and nor do I intend to.
My sartorial elegance these days runs to T-shirts, shorts and flip flops dear boy.
Plus a case of beer handy at all times
Bollo cks to ties my friend.

I'm back from a super evening out with the family and see this thread has ascended into a Mutual Admiration Society between the bulldog Brits and the blue on blue experts, our US cousins.
Salty, I said pastries, not tarts. Apart from which I do not take male friends to orgies, being greedy.
"Yes, just imagine being able to talk to ourselves, like ducatti does,
without being interrrrruppted...."
Super words, Socrates.
I have a riddle, albeit a rhetorical one.
Why do some prolific posters experience a lack of response to their posts?
Please note that the above question is posed entirely academically and is not targeted at any t2w members, all of whom are, of course, wonderful people and "characters" without whom the world would be a poorer, but much nicer place.
Anyway, Salty, it IS a wonderful thread, isn't it?
