Or when its not rigged by the media and the electoral college. You think im crazy but seriously. Look up “Ron Paul media blackout” and do some research for yourself. The vast majority of voters are so stupid they will just blindly vote with the last name they heard on tv(this is not an exaggeration). Ron Paul was systematically kicked out of the running by consistently not being mentioned, or when it was necessary to mention him, downplaying his political ideas/standings. This didnt happen once, or twice, but nearly every time the race was mentioned on literally every major news channel. There is a good chance you think Ron Paul, and his supporters, are nutcases because the media probably brainwashed you too. I am not endorsing Ron Paul, i dont vote because i dont believe in the system. Ron Paul is a perfect example of why you shouldnt give a fuck about American politics, and why you shouldnt vote either.

Its all just propaganda designed to keep you from realizing the US is a plutocracy, without one shred of democracy in there. The elections are just a show, like the roman colosseum, designed to keep you busy and remind you who is in charge.

It doesnt matter though, because any time anyone brings up anything remotely related to conspiracy theories, they are instantly dismissed as crazy. Just like your masters taught you to do. Ron Paul had a chance, before the media intentionally snubbed him. Look it up.

Mike Rowe is as qualified to be giving people advice as any of the guys from Pawn Stars. I love how people fall for his folksy charm as though what he says actually bears insight.

Here's what I've learned: Everyone who tells me what to do with my life is full of shit. The only person who decides worth is me. My choices might have consequences including a lack of wealth, but I would never want to be his Septic Tank Business Bro. It's not because I think his work isn't important to other people, and it's not because I hate money. It's because I was ready to commit suicide before I realized there is something about human existence that isn't utter horseshit.

Science. The reason we don't live in a shithole is because men and women rejected the notion that right now, it's as good as we're gonna have it, and we may as well just settle in. That kind of effort extends to fields beyond science, but science is the reason we have technology and medicine. It uplifts us all and gives us greater meaning. Instead of having to work in a field 12 hours a day, I can learn about human diseases, to help treat them. And those who benefit can in turn go on to help others. It's why I went back to school, and graduate at 30 with a biochemistry degree with honors. It's why I'm going for a PhD. It's why I commit myself to learning and growing.

I might die poor without any meaningful accomplishments. But that doesn't matter. What matters is that I believe in what I do, and I will give it everything I have because I want to see positive change around me. I'll either make it work, or I'll die trying.

The problems today's youth has nothing to do with pursuing passion. It's finding it, and learning how to use it, including how to make a skill marketable. Or, in some cases, actually finding their true calling, and not just doing what their parents do, or told them to do.

Basically Mike Rowe is a moron and nobody should listen to his opinions about anything.

that's fine, for you. But the assumption is that he's talking to reasonable people who value having an enjoyable life over contribution to society. If you accept that premise, he's right.

[Anonymous No.9357664]

>>9357608
No, his argument is shit because he conflates Passion and Hobby, and he thinks because he couldn't be Tradesman Like Daddy that therefore this validates his opinion. What's enjoyable to a person also for the person to decide. Maybe I ENJOY what I do, too.

Let people decide what they think is valuable. If working as a welder is an OK alternative to whatever else you had in mind, it wasn't a fucking passion to begin with.

The solution isn't to give up and be a shit-shoveler. The solution is to find something to go all-in on. Successful people aren't just floating by, they're driven by something. He's not encouraging you to be driven to do anything, except visit the library on weekends, to read all about the things you'll never do yourself.

The problem is: If pluto is a planet, then haumea, makemake, eris, and countless others also are planets. where are they on your list?

no he doesn't, he was saying you should only follow your passion if it's a hobby (as there's no consequence if you fail).
>Maybe I ENJOY what I do, too.
sure. But maybe you don't have a passion for anything you can make money doing because it's not marketable or you're not good at it. In that case, you SHOULD find another career.
>The solution isn't to give up and be a shit-shoveler.
it is, again if you agree to my premise. It's fine if you'd rather die than do something you don't love, but i'm glad that isn't true for everyone. He's not saying if you can make 100k shoveling shit and 60k doing something you love you should shovel shit, he's saying if you CAN"T get a job doing what you love then doing something that'll at least make you a living is better than continuing to waste your time. You'd rather die, most wouldn't.

If you're content with at as a hobby, it's not a passion. If you want another career, it's not a passion. If you let defeat on American Idol stop you, it's not a passion. If you aren't willing to make sacrifices, it's not a passion.

You don't need a passion to live and get by and enjoy life. But don't pretend like Rowe that lost teenagers who think they'll make it big on American Idol actually understand passion.

If all he said was "Give other jobs a chance" that's fine, but he attaches these buzzwords because he doesn't actually know passion, either. He's a sad man whose life is fulfilled by telling people to clean septic tanks.
