Read the instructions

article image placeholderUploaded by @PKBriggs
Life has instructions, right? So it seems like a pretty crucial thing to read the instructions and not just skip them. But I don't I laziness cockiness. I don't know. And what made me think about this is I woke up this morning when I actually had thought of this well and wrote it out a little bit. I was reading The New York Times and they had these puzzles, and the puzzles always look really good

I wonder 🤔

I wonder if we have been socialized or raised to give people the benefit of the doubt or treat people with respect, automatically give them respect or uncritical positive regard like good manners is what I was told going up. If that prevents us from reading the instructions right. If we are blocking ourselves from reading people, I wonder. I don't know the answer to that. I'm just wondering out how

Santia. Just today, I decided to barbecue while I pretty much had planned this all week, and I wanted to Cook pork back or shoulder. And I bought this nice, huge hunk of something and I put it on the grill. And prior to this, I didn't read up on it how to Cook it. I just trusted in the fact that I know how to grill

Edit: Not reading instructions is not a bad thing. Hands on vs instruction

Santia professor, first time I'm addressing you by name, hopefully that's okay. Instead of PK, I think it's a little bit more formal, if you will. And I wanted to comment on this. And what will say is I don't think reading the instructions per se is necessarily a bad thing. Here are my thoughts on it. I think that for the most part, it's natural curiosity. Maybe it could be likened to some sort of primal thing

@Tim that is a good question and random fact about me 🙋🏾‍♀️ Thank you!

I would think I would love grilled cheese, but I really don't. And I really do love cheese. And I really do love bread. But just like NYT together in warm. Strange, you didn't ask for that random fact, but that's a very interesting question. Have we been preconditioned by Sociability or respectability kind of politics to not acknowledge what we see because we are being polite or respectable? I'm going to think about that. That's interesting. I don't know

@FryedOreo Great additional question for thought! Chef FO🧑🏾‍🍳

Hey, Duan, thank you so much as always for jumping on this. Well, and a great with you. Totally fire grill meat. It seems like it's intuitive, right? Like you wouldn't need to really read about it. So I'm with you on that. And we're both just in our essentially happy ignorance about that. So I understand why you just got to meet and went full throttle because how different could it be?

@Professor42 Great example!

That's the way to think about it, too, which sounds way more attractive than I just don't like reading instructions. But yeah, I think I look and I just want to figure it out. And then if I really, really nothing's happening and I'm like, okay, let's see what this paper says. So I appreciate that you said my name perfectly. And that's totally fine as well. And yes, I hope you're having a good Saturday
