Spear Fishing

There's something so incredibly glorious about catching food this^^ way. Spearing a Fish. Yeah. Behaving more like one of nature's most wily predators, rather than the humans we've become used to being, geting drivethrough McDonalds. This is the way to hunt for food. Using tools that nature provides to you, making a weapon, and then impaling a fucken salmon with it. Then eating it.

That's fucking awesome. I want to try this one day, but only if you promise I'll catch something. And you have to gut it. I can't handle that shit.

Golden Hammer

"When the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail."


This one relates quite closely to my last post. Its not only a really cool thing for a Golden Hammer to just exist, but it has another "metaphoric" meaning, which makes the concept all the more awesome.

The idea of a Golden Hammer relates to the notion of "familiar technology or concept applied obsessively to many problems". I think its called the "Law of the Instrument". Which is very cool... The kind of thing that would pop up in a really old folk tale, that "villagers" would pass down over centuries.

So its not even something lifechanging, but still - "working class wisdom" is awesome.
