find the worst way to do it

again and again i try to tell people, the first step towards doing something is to figure out the WORST way to BARELY TECHNICALLY do it, and refine your ideas from there. your worst plan MUST still be POSSIBLE and FUFILL the thing you’re trying to do.

like, lets say i want to become a pilot. what’s the worst fucking way to do that? steal a plane! (don’t do that.) once you have this “worst idea” you can only go up from there. just like how you can’t edit a blank essay, you can’t refine a blank idea. by trying to deliberately create the worst possible plan, you uncover a lot of things to take into account for creating your best plan. 

Lets say I want to get to Arkansas. I could try to hitchhike, and technically might actually make it. but that would be a very bad idea because hitchhiking is rare these days, I don’t know where Arkansas is on the map, and I don’t think it would be safe. So now I have a few things to think about: the most common ways to travel, regional maps, and safety information.

The MOST IMPORTANT THING is that your WORST METHOD must TECHNICALLY WORK.

i had two dreams last night. in one i was at a strange hotel with my parents, our room was only accessible by putting a key in a vending machine that was actually the hidden door to it, but one of my aunts had "helpfully picked up the key already" so we wandered lost. and also there were two keyholes so i was also worried putting the key in the wrong one would set off an alarm.

the other dream i had was someone trying to bribe me to go on a suicide mission by saying that i'd get a really, really nice gravestone with sculpted roses on it

randomly remembered that uriel ventris' original calth accent is one that's "almost incomprehensible to anyone not from ultramar" but also pasanius, who is definitely from ultramar, "could barely understand him" when they first met which implies it was even stronger than that.

full page from "The Killing Ground" under the cut

'A wonderful dialect they spoke in the caverns,' continued Pasanius. 'I remember the first time I spoke to you. I could barely understand a word you said.' 'It had its own character,' admitted Uriel, beginning to see where Pasanius was going. 'I remember it took years for you to shake that accent,' said Pasanius. 'Do you still remember any of it?' 'Some,' said Uriel, switching to the heavily accented dialect of the deep cavern dwellers of Calth. 'It's the kind of thing that never really leaves you.' Uriel had been six years old the last time he had spoken like this, but his enhanced memory skills allowed him to access the language centres of his brain as though it had been yesterday. 'That's it,' laughed Pasanius, also switching to the same Calthian speech patterns, a dialect that no one outside Ultramar would have any hope of understanding. Certainly any eavesdroppers on this conversation would be lost and even the most sophisticated cogitating machines would struggle with so specific an argot.

i was actually hoping to see Hamlet in the park tonight but the air is so nasty it was cancelled... hopefully it'll clear up in the next 2-3 days, and one of those will happen, because i'd really like to see it
