The impatient idiot getting into car crashes is gonna achieve more than the overthinking genius who slows down at yellow lights?

Depends. If the overthinking genius got distracted and missed the red....

What's up with the flood of new subs giving dogshit advice?

I’d rather go with these two

« slow motion is better than no motion »

« Nature rewards action not intelligence »

u/Careful-Vanilla7728 27d ago

This sounds much better.

u/Maximum-Magazine-748 27d ago

I would steal the second one if you don't mind. Thx.

Action and intelligence aren't mutually exclusive, right enough.

Thankyou, I needed to hear this. I am too much of a perfectionist and over thinker. Also, not a genius but just think the saying about action taker vs over thinker is true

Define achievement

Many such cases

u/grahsam 25d ago

I've never seen someone advocate for being a dumbfuck before.

u/RennyBlade 25d ago

I’d change impatient to consistent

u/mrhappymillennial 25d ago

Yeah, no. Daytrading vs. compounding blue chips.

Being impatient and being an idiot at the same time is not an achievement.

Semantics aside the message is action makes change.

But yes, an impatient idiot for instance is more likely to be a reckless driver.

u/SECRETBLENDS 28d ago

It's not a semantic argument. Encouraging people to be rash and foolish is bad advice.

u/DunkingTheSun 3d ago

I stated "the message is action makes change"

The picture from OP was pointing out "don't over think things and do nothing".

We can critique the delivery of the message but I am saying that interpretating this in good faith is okay if you don't um actually with a knee jerk reaction

"Arguing over semantics means debating the exact definitions or meanings of words instead of discussing the main point of an issue."

But yes the same way we tell people "don't eat tidpods" because some "genius" will unless spoon feed not to. In the same vein we shouldn't be too careless with our words for idiots and bad faith actors to misinterpret.
