IFWT

That's the thing you misunderstand, it wasn't to say we did it our way. It was because growing up, most of us were on our own from when we got home from school until like 6, 7pm in the evening or later. We HAD to solve for ourselves, so it's instinctive. teapawt.org/Stoneythrows/status/11…

How we handle our parents, how we deal with authority, how we go around road blocks, how we finesse sh*t when we need access, how we work with limited resources, how we handle emergencies and near disasters, HOW WE FIGURED SHIT OUT

I’m just saying we McGuyvered life, and that’s why we often seem disconnected from the idea of dismantling systems (education, work, finance, politics, etc)

Notice I said “had room.” I recognize you can’t just be out here freestyling now. Even in every job I ever had, it was “here’s what they tell us to do, and here’s how you actually move the way you need to and not get fired.” It’s not that easy anymore.
