I don’t necessarily mean lying. Things can be untrue without intentional deceit or they can be partially true intentionally and unintentionally etc, etc, etc
For myself, whatever the situation my mind automatically gravitates towards skepticism and my default positions seems to be- ‘idk if this is true 🤨 IF true how does that work IF untrue how does that work’ - Within wherever given argument or context
I tend to find people’s easy acceptance of ridiculous things almost more frustrating than the original culprit. I spend some time suspended in disbelief not over the info but the reactions. Or lack of any reaction or what seems to me to be a reasonable reaction…This isn’t a _good_ thing and I know I need to work on it, I’m just keeping that in mind when thinking of work
I have enormous endurance for focusing on something that I suspect is false. Ideally it’s important but I can for sure get caught up in mental knots over somewhat trivial matters as well, unfortunately. Not proud of this 👀
Whether the focus is Important or trivial, any obsession tendencies can be a liability so obviously I need a position where this is an asset:
OBSESSIVE SKEPTICISM WITH LOW THRESHOLD FOR SYCOPHANCY that’s my skill set 😂
Now, I don’t want to be a cop or interrogator or work for CIA -CentralIntelligenceAgency FBI -Federal Bureau of Investigation NRO -National Reconnaissance Office NSA -National Security Agency DOD -Department of Defense [WAR] DHS -Department of Homeland Security DEA -Drug Enforcement Agency DOE -Department of Energy __People & or organizations with three letter acronyms. Too cryptic. Don’t Trust it. 😛 (half jk)
Not adding a poll bc I don’t want to prejudice anyone… Any creative minds out there who want to give it go ALL answers welcome 🤗 💞💞
OH! I also care about humanity ‘n stuff sooooo you know respect justice dignity compassion adjacent- if not specifically friendly- environment, if possible 👍🏻
🧐 What is a good career for someone obsessed with “what is true vs untrue ”?
I know a few amazing, incorruptable, independent journalists who research and report on a variety of subjects. Eva Karene Bartlett (Canadian) and Vanessa Beeley (Australian) are particularly incredible. They travel to countries like Syria, Palestine, Venezuela, Balkan states, Iran, North Korea, Russia, etc. to get first hand knowledge. They interview top experts on things like international affairs, covid, and whatever. Unfortunately, because their honest findings conflict with the official narrative, they are ignored by mainstream media, slandered by paid hit-men on Wikipedia, in the press and on Google. They are increasingly de-platformed, banned and blocked on social media platforms like Facebook, Youtube and Twitter. So they have a difficult time making a living even though they publish constantly, do spots on foreign TV networks, get invited to speak at symposiums, etc. What keeps them going is their dogged pursuit of truth and the desire to get it out to the public. They are true heroes.
I know authors who do the same thing. Michel Chossudovsy, who started Global Research is an example. He is a top-notch researcher and author but also publishes work by other authors. Authors are far less in the public eye, but they still need name recognition, they have to get published and read. Celebrities and writers of fiction might make lots of money on book sales, but honest researchers have a much more difficult time.
There are some bloggers and podcasters who do fairly well even though they, too, struggle in this cancel-culture environment. Del Bigtree is one I respect.
I don't know. In order to make a living, you might choose a particular field that you are passionate about and look for a job with some government or international agency or NGO. Many of those have become corrupted, but some people who work for such organization still do really good work for the benefit of mankind and the environment.
I want to say that I absolutely love your attitude, Vivant. Never lose your skepticism. Keep pursuing truth. Question everything. It's important to have opinions rather than beliefs. If a person develops informed opinions, those opinions can be modified or changed as more information becomes available. There's a quote that I like: "Believe nothing, but entertain possibilities."
Hey thank you! I have not heard of any of those people snd I thought I already knew the fringe truth tellers in indie news, I guess if I knew so easily maybe not so fringe 💡 lol
Well I am not sure what I’ll do with my life but I have some people to look up 😛
I agree on building on informed views you can always adjust lol and I appreciate your assessment as usual ♥️
My suggestion would be it sounds like you're already a little too obsessed with this stuff, so maybe get a job where you get a break?
One great career choice is commercial airline pilot. You can make six figures a few years in, and it only takes a couple thousand hours of flying to get there. (for comparison, at 40 hours a week, 50 weeks a year, an average worker does 2,000 hours every year.). Top seniority pilots make over $300,000/year, which is more than many doctors.
An analytical mind who sees things in black and white as you describe could be a big asset to a pilot. You have to think clearly and make decisions to keep your crew and passengers safe.
This job would also afford you lots of time off, as pilots are not allowed to work over 100 hours in a month (average worker = 200 hours @ 40 hours/week). From one pilot, "I work 9 days a month and make over $120,000 a year). This would allow you to do whatever creative, environmental, or humanitarian volunteer work you like. You could also join committees to work on FAA policies, as I'm sure you could find some flaws that needed improvement.
Downside to becoming a pilot is it is expensive. Those training hours and early flight hours cost bit bucks. But there are ways to get there and if you are passionate you will be fine.
Thing is i think I’m this way for life. People have been telling me I think too much or I’m l too suspicious too negative or too contrary or too argumentative, my entire life lol
I give up 🤷♀️ instead of fighting it, I’m going to try to take advantage of it.
Auto pilot tho 😯 thank you for the vote of confidence 🤗
Well then law seems an obvious choice. Either as an attorney or even as a legislator, having an eye for inconsistency is important. Programming is another very black and white career choice, as computers think in terms of ones and zeros, yes or no, true or untrue. Any of those could have a humanitarian, environmental, or otherwise philanthropic facet to them.
Editing is another profession requiring attention to detail, if you are any good with English and language. Even if you aren't, a bit of practice and study at editing and you'd be fine. Billing/accounting is another very logic/fact based profession; either the numbers add up or they don't, there is no gray area when it comes to numbers.
One thing I would warn you is that if you are dealing with other people (as in law/legislation, or many other jobs) being too pedantic will not be an asset. So either you will need to curb that sort of tendency, or find a profession where interacting with others is not essential to your duties.
@ being too pedantic will not be an asset. So either you will need to curb that sort of tendency, or find a profession where interacting with others is not essential to your duties.
Yeah exactly. I know. I’m working on it. I’m not sure if I should look for something where there’s not high volume of interaction bc I also am so sociable, it’s just I get annoyed lol 🤦♀️
You literally described the perfect lawyer but I didn't notice anyone making that suggestion.
Seriously though I think law would be an amazing outlet for that sense of justice and hunger for fairness and reality you have.
And sure it takes a bit of studying but it's also a very isolated topic in a sense you don't need a lot of prerequisites to get into it, you can start from scratch today.
My guess is that the ultimate posting for such a person would be God, but you'd have to be the knower of all that is true before you'd be qualified to hold that post.
On a more attainable level, I'd say being a scientist in the field that holds the most interest for you would be the most fulfilling.
If you're looking at broad spectrum truth, philosophy would fill that bill. It might be a bit hard to fill your pantry, though.
Glad to know people like you exist! I think i somewhat relate to you here. I also love trying to reason through things not only that im skeptical of, but also my pre existing beliefs.
I think there's a bunch of careers you could take like philosophy, law, etc. But i also think something like programming would be good for you.
Programming is very interesting as it is simultaneously rigid as well as flexible enough for you to express yourselves and be creative. All programming really is writing out logic that the machine performs in a step wise manner. So someone who thinks like you would be an ideal person when it comes to debugging, creating algorithms etc.(which are core concepts when it comes to programming).
Also a lot of people have misconceptions about this career and i asure you its not just sitting in front of a pc the whole day and pressing buttons.
Also forgot to add, but research is another good field that requires a LOT of the kind of thinking you talked about. Research can really be anything, from psychology to biology.
A career that pays good money and can make you live comfortably, is a good career , and pretty much al that matters , whether it’s true or untrue. Best career is being your own boss and making a comfortable living , I always been a worker and I have worked jobs I didn’t care for but I did what I had to do to get where I am today , Hard work and dedication can pay off in the long run , I am in a position now that I never imagined I would ever be in but I am grateful for the opportunity and do my best to keep this opportunity., Just like most jobs it has it’s ups and downs , but all that matters is I am living comfortably and it’s helping me pursue what I really want to do , my passion , whether that’s true or untrue , it’s helping me give it a shot , but all in all if I won the lottery then I say Fuck it all and never work again lol
It fits the profile except it’s kinda on line with interrogation which I don’t want to do tho maybe the analyzer doesn’t interact w/ the person I feel like they get used for nefarious purposes. But thank you for the suggestion 😊😊
the closest you can get is science. but even with that, you won't get that close, as ofte times, the necessity of "having to make money" is in the way of finding what's true and untrue in science.
Sorry there is no proffession where the truth is rewarded in all circumstances. You should only tell the truth if it benefits the employer in all other you should be silent or hide the facts. So a person that says the truth all the time will not be trusted in any important position. Because they will assume you will slip facts they don't want to known.
I think you can apply that attitude to most careers in the sense that you can put your own spin on it, I kinda think it would be more satisfying to throw that attitude into a profession that settles for untruths, as that makes you more unique and able to stand out from the crowd.
Conga, like me. I wonder if the Milky Way is a portal to the void which is inside the Realm and is where each universe of that Realm lie. I searched “what would happen if you go inside the Milky Way” and it said you would see nothing but stars and stuff like that. Which technically is what I theorized
Mr mr 🦜 told me that the aliens wanted to capture the skyscrapper girl and transport her to the mother ship but she couldn't fit the flying saucer cause she's a giant, the aliens became hopless and left earth without ever coming back 👽 and that's how the skyscrapper girl saved the earth 😂
Oh yeah I didn't read that carefully lol. Science is the only thing with using the right method and give the truth because if done right and accurate the same result would produce constantly over and over again.
Quantum mechanics. There are so many logical contradictions posed by the theory that would would have plenty of time spent obsessing over what is true and untrue.
It’s a really good suggestion unfortunately I think I’d have needed to start a LOT earlier. My educational back ground is patchy and most stuff you can learn on the fly snd some people csn easily do that eight math. I like math I really love essential unequivocal calculations if literally makes my kind smile lol but I’m too far behind to consider a career. 😊
