> The original poster was right, you don't need to look to someone like him hear a message as basic and timeless as "happiness is fleeting and some of your problems are your own fault."
I'm not sure how you consider this professor an "idiot," useful or not. He has been spreading a similar message for decades, and continues to derive meaning from the world from a behavioral-psychological perspective. I see his desire to help people coming from his innate desire (being a clinical psychologist). I also find it hard to find flaws in the belief system he works from (not religion, but the perspective on our need for meaning).
It would be useful to give clear examples of where he is truly provoking for the sake of it and for the sake of book sales.
To say that he's saying nothing original is wholly wrong. And to lambaste someone for sourcing knowledge from a modern public source is ridiculous. How do you sort yourself out if you cannot proceed without knowing the true source of an idea?
Promenet, Inc | NYC Onsite work | $50-60k (Junior Engineer)
Is anyone looking for an IT / Security job?
I came from more of a background in software development and found my way into networking. I found huge differences between them. I think they involves two very different mindsets.
Networking is great for people who are very interested in learning how to operate things. They want to get to know how to use things in the world to their advantage and find ways to make them do useful things in concert.
A programmer has to think more about how to get new, undiscovered or previously unimplemented behavior out of a system and do so reliably.
Network engineers need to do that at a large scale as a small aspect - like when a network goes completely down and no one knows why. You have to discover how things are supposed to work, why they're not working, and how to get them to work again - that's support. They also have to be able to design at a large scale and understand pre-built connection templates (i.e. protocols) and follow them. And they need to be responsible for hundreds of customers access to information, utilities, and the business.
