Once upon a time, there was a famous airbrush artist. He held many workshops where he imparted his many years of knowledge to other aspiring airbrush artists. On the walls of his studio were color charts, proportion wheels and other “tools” of his trade. In his library were books about color theory, anatomy, drawing skills, painting skills, art history et al – most of which he had read cover-to-cover. Additionally, there were books and magazines where his art and his art wisdom were featured – usually without monetary compensation to him. On his computer browser were countless bookmarks of art related links, each one supporting his “craft” and furthering his career as a famous artist.
I’ve heard it said “There is no stupid question”.
YES THERE IS. And there are too many of them in this world.
Here’s an example:
Scene: a middle aged airbrush artist wannabee calling the famous artist on the phone because he happens to have paid Clinton Foundation for access to him. He didn’t pay the artist for that access, he paid a “middle man/womyn” for it.
So, the famous artist is on this acolyte’s speed dial. Acolyte, sitting in front of his computer with GOOGLE.com on the monitor, and two tubes of paint in his hand – one purple and one yellow. One ringy-dingy, two-ringy dingy… famous artist answers his I-phone. “Hello Mr. so-and-so, what can I help you with?”
“Hey Al, what color do you get when you mix yellow and purple?”
“Uh, some shades of gray, why do you ask?”
“Ok, see you at the next Airbrush Getaway.” click
Me, annoyed by this “scene”, and yelling into the ETHER “Google is your friend!” So, let me google that for you: https://bfy.tw/RXkK – better yet, why don’t you just open those tubes of paint and mix them yourself – you f*&@ing moron?
Here’s a defining moment for what is and is not an environment for “stupid” questions. If you have negotiated a price and paid that expert DIRECTLY for that time, you can ask as many stupid questions as you like during that time slot, but NOT beyond that time slot.
If someone of high societal status is genuinely interested in asking you stupid questions because his/her time is valuable, and has offered – in sincerity – access to him/her in exchange for access to your expertise, this could be considered a fair-value energy exchange. Those “stupid” questions have opened a portal to higher wisdom and connectedness that may not be otherwise possible without the intent to ask them. These are not stupid questions – and elitisms among my nerdy crypto-crew is greatly frowned on by me and those above and along-side me in this ETHEREUM realm. In fact, I would go so far to say that I deplore it in the same way I deplore religious elitisms – aka self-righteousness.
Now for the “business” end of this message. Here’s what’s NOT a stupid question – ever:
What is Wicker Etiquette Training (WET)? you may be asking. Here’s the answer to that question, and neither the question NOR the answer is stupid. How do you prevent wicker from burning in a house fire? What — did you think WET meant something else? Rule 34 is still abolished.
Maybe we need to talk about GRAYSCALE, because from my perspective, there have been too many shades of gray. Furthermore:
WET has gone Mainnet.
