Definitely. I do exactly that. I do not want to do it all myself and I do not micromanage. I simply expect others to take on what they can along side me and build a sense of competition between us.

My approach stems from owning a body shop twice and hiring people I liked from the dealerships I worked for all the time. I never hired anyone with experience in auto body because I specialized in a very specific niche type of repair and used nonstandard techniques. I could and did occasionally do traditional work, but the majority of the time I did not. So I had to teach everyone everything about the job. I have absolutely no problem doing the most menial task if that is what needs to be done in the moment; nothing is beneath me, and I expect that kind of attitude from everyone I work with, just do what needs to be done and move on. I won’t waste a minute with anyone that resists that kind of thing; I find it adolescent and childish. I know I’m a jack of all trades, and not the best at any given task, but I’m excellent at plugging the holes and working more like a group of friends.

Thanks. I’m terrible about thinking this way. I always follow my curiosity and really only care about an abstract understanding any people that like to explore. When I’m the boss, no one works for me; they work with me and take on responsibility or I do it myself and get rid of them. I can do it all; not the best or the fastest, but I can do about anything if I really try. To me, social dynamics seem childish, but I also suck at things like emotional reinforcement and coercive sales. Most places I’ve worked, I wind up operating outside of any management structure, set my own hours, etc.

What kind of personality is always aware of this kind of perceptive interaction, and what are their core thought functions?

Problem with time travel is all the miscalculations trying to hit the thin skin of a moving object. Don’t forget the undulations through the galactic arms and the effect of the galactic medium against the heliopause. Good luck! Never know, maybe you’ll be the first above ground and non orbital. Bring a parachute, ablation shield, a shovel, and say hello to Hawking!

P.S. If you get a chance, tell me to call in sick for work 2/26/14. I’d appreciate not being disabled in that alt timeline. Thx!

I think the white paper it came from is referenced in the bottom left box.

Only for the oil industry business cards.

We are merely the space ships of the microbes. Being caught between their war of the worlds would likely be unpleasant. However, I have a feeling we would be the true harbinger of death in that world of far more simple food webs than our present reality.

Our deaths would be miserable upon return, due to the evolutionary life of our passengers having many millions of years to plot our deaths when we return to find a completely different world and the little ones waiting to say hello.

I do not believe the table is intended for individual timescales, like how I tried to make the title more relatable. It is intended on geological timescales of species survival.

IIRC the person on YT also mentioned there were times when there was not enough oxygen to sustain fire, which is another fascinating thought and helps make sense of things like hydrocarbon deposits like oil and coal in some instances.

Cool, cool. How many of you know the mathematical relationships?
