Thomas Stig Jacobsen's constant why

So I suddenly got into a writing mood? But what should I concentrate on?

On the fact that I can’t concentrate enough or that my mind is filled with brilliant thoughts but with too little time to do any of them. I hopefully will have some time to do a lot of these things as soon as I’m finished with this semester’s project at uni.

My life is filled with wonderful people, absolutely brilliant and lovely people but it seems like that my tend to focus on something specific topic also extends to people. I tends to talk to some people for a while, while “forgetting” other people at the same time.

I seem to again and yet again surprise myself when it comes to my stubbornness regarding problem-solving in my life. But I find that this strength (as I look at it) also is a weakness – a great weakness. When you focus so intensely on a problem you tend to forget the problem you started. You forget that the problem properly can be solved in other and better ways that the one you are trying to do now!

So now, look at your problem, now look at what you are trying to do – and now… think! Can’t this been done in a more intelligent way? Are you doing something you don’t even have to – just for the fun of it.

Yes – I know that this post was completely random and really.. It’s fine, because now I’m writing again. I’ll properly soon tell you something about the Danish computer security reality and how a good friend of mine can’t get a job because he’s too smart (H you know it’s you! )

Jeg hørte netop nogen snakke om det jeg vil betegne som “naboprincippet”. Det er princip at man er ligeglade med hvad naboens børn gør, så længe ens eget(egene) børn gør det samme.

Jeg mener at grunden til dette fænomen kan være at vi er så ego centrede at vi hele tiden prøver at iscenesætter os selv og på den måde hæve os selv, vores liv og vores relaterede over “pøblen”.

Et eksempel på dette kan være at jeg mener at belægget for at vi hjælper andre i dag har ændret sig grundlæggende. Vi hjælper ikke i dag andre for deres blå øjnenes skyld. Næ nej. Vi hjælper dem fordi vi enten forventer en form for materiel betaling eller fordi vi igen vil hæve os over resten af pøblen.

Det gør os til et bedre menneske. Nu har jeg skrevet dette, meget filosofisk. Nu er jeg et bedre, mere hævet menneske – ikke sandt?
