That's your shower thought? To make something good you have to put work in?
But that isn't what I said
I suppose I'm asking for clarification.
Try reading the post again then.
Or you could help me understand what you're saying. If you can't be bothered, okay, but it would be nice if you said so.
I'm describing a way of using attention. To put it entirely in one place and to completely remove it from everything else.
And then the place where you put your attention blossoms and everything else rots.
I honestly fail to understand what seems to be so mind-blowing about this for you. I'm genuinely confused. Because it still sounds to me like you're saying if you focus on the thing you're doing, it becomes good. Which, yeah? That's how that usually works? Again, genuinely confused.
Did I say that it is mind-blowing?
That 3 problems in a row for you. 2 of them misrepresentation of the words.
Maybe the problem is on your end. Try thinking about it a bit and then get back to me.
It seems to have been a thought you had that you deemed significantly unusual enough to post it in showerthoughts. I've been telling you my understanding of your words, under the assumption that I must be misunderstanding something, so you could clarify them for me. Your replies have unfortunately stayed too vague and flowery for me to understand. Carry on.
Why those three?
I'm sure there are artists, scientists and engineers that don't let everything else go to hell, and there are likely people in other professions or hobbies that focus on one thing and let everything else go to hell.
This is probably more of a general personality trait than something associated with those specific careers.
You could say that people with this personality trait are inclined to become artists, scientists and engineers.
And you could call this personality trait a magic trick.
Or, you could call it ADHD, and trust me, it is no magic trick.
Why not call it a magic trick. I mean, technically it underlays science. So it's transcendent to our scientific way of making sense of stuff. Which is a pretty good definition for magic.
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
