Think smaller, try whittling a spoon. All you need is a sharp knife, you could buy a kit that come with a knife and a spoon gouge(it makes life easier). Pick up a stick and carve something. Or buy blanks, the BORG(big orange retail giant) will have carving material.
The obscene idea is that whatever hobby you pick up you must master, be great at it. Fail a lot at your hobby and learn from the mistakes. Perfection in your hobbies comes from the time you spent failing. This is the time you should long after a hectic day, week or month, a time to fail.
Once in a while you will create something you love, it probably won't even be good. It doesn't matter. Your not making a dollar on your hobby(do not try to), your carving your mind and body into a better person.
After work, after kids, after exercise, I've spent many nights just carving wood into what ever I feel like. Spoons, forks, etc. Many of them suck, many have been used to keep me warm on a cool night, none have expected anything from me, its always there when I have time and the will.
I've also suggest some cut gloves as well, you need your digits for the next time you decide to pick up your hobby.
Sure a college degree shows they can do whats expected and still get by.
A counter point to this would be You are interviewing to individuals for a job and the only thing missing from one is a degree?
Perhaps the person without a degree didn't have the money for college or had personal life happenings that prevented them from going. Yet they managed to get into an interview. Shouldn't a few more justified questions about how they get to where they are now?
This could show you that the person who didn't go to college as the favorable hire(through hard work), opposed to someone whom is or was more economically advantaged?
Instead this one has a checked box(college) and this one doesn't, the more checked boxes justify the outcome.
Some would say Taxation or Sanctions are a form of violence. If I do not adhere to your sanctions, what happens? If I do not pay your taxes, what happens?
Violence, condoned by a state or a group of states.
Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus by Ludwig Wittgenstein
"The project had a broad goal: to identify the relationship between language and reality, and to define the limits of science."
