The eastern block countries were even more dominant than US today. They say in the USSR the men are men and the women are men too.

C19, arrogance & increasing stupidity through awareness of the stupidity?

Or rather than awareness is it cognitive dissonance?

Won 192 international award in among six different sculpture medians including 5 world
sand sculpture championship. Working this for most waking hours of my life. Strong in cultures, k/biological, travel and tiny house communities. Still everyone has downsides, stupidity is not mine, don't have the sheep or herd mentality.

@Castlepaloma my replies are generalisations & were not necessarily applied at you. I think that it must be fantastic having 3D spatial awareness. Was it inherent from early age or something that developed through practice? You must also need incredible patience & perseverence?

@FrayedBear

I think the most common thread for greatness in anything, is investing over 10, 000 hours. Had 45 years and paying most of my bills by sculpture.

I get credibly slandered so much of the time here, because I won't get vaccined. Sorry.

Maybe a natural talent is able to visualize 3d from all sides in my head first. Work and love is the main stuff.

@Castlepaloma I suspect your 10,000 hours is a very modest estimate. Having broadcast on air more than 3000 hours I know how many years that took & how it is no longer relevant to count the hours. Stay safe and yes I took the risk & got the vaccination but having managed to avoid death by hitting an oncoming 30 ton truck by about 80 metres whilst travelling at a combined speed of just under 200 kph only days previously I figured that my time hadn't arrived (I had a micro sleep after 550 klms driving not having slept for 30 hours).
