   i think it's very big ask to get me to do anything that isn't a theory that i can test with an experiment.

   the simplest theory being that i can pull something off. and when i've done enough to prove to myself that i know the steps to complete it, that's when i stop and move on to something else.

   in my dreams, some other person exists, with an identical skill set to mine, except he loves to finish things, and i just hand everything to him when it's almost ready...

     @kcarruthers when it gets to the point that it's just a long series of obvious steps that you have to take to complete the task, what is even the point? you're not gonna learn anything new... this is why i can't keep my apartment clean. it accomplishes absolutely nothing and is just gonna get dirty again anyway...

     @kcarruthers how do you even do that? last time i checked, everyone hates the "ideas guy".

     @thor yup I hear you. That is why I have organised much of my life so I’m the ideas person, not so much the doing person.

     @thor usually they’re not actually evil enough to do that. You get the occasional malignant narcissist who does that though, but they’re pretty rare thankfully

     @kcarruthers i remember this very autistic guy in the Pirate Party of Norway who was outright machiavellian in his schemes but not really the leader type. personality like the humpbacked assistant of a movie villain but also, he had political ideas, and had no concept of how actual humans function or want to live, so his ideas were always accidentally horribly dystopian...

     @thor they are usually overly confident men (mostly men but not always) who just give orders instead of being collaborative with the delivery teams to try and work out what are the best ideas in the context and which ones are most executable.

     @kcarruthers ah, you see, i was trying to imagine someone less brash, unpleasant in some other secret way, who offers bad suggestions

     @kcarruthers describe one to me because i don't have much of a reference point here

     @kcarruthers am now trying to imagine an unpleasant person who only has bad ideas...
