stratification of talent,skill, and education/ funding....... creates divisions.

in any other discipline,

theres a sane progression of expertise.

in our community however, the bar is so low its a limbo olympics for the gold.

it goes like this, buy a grow kit, get one sad 3.0 g of moldy shrooms,

split it with a friend, add 2 beers and a joint, and your an expert,

capable of taking on advanced well funded growers 2x your age toe to toe.....

and why not? ( the alt to a grow, would be to slosh plastic solvent buckets really fast)

of course, little respect for those who made a multi decades global career of it all.

everyone has eaten the most and best drugs.

everyone drove the fastest cars and motorcycles.

everyone has had massive grow ops

everyone has had the best lovers.

everyone has travelled the world

everyone has multiple degrees.

blah blah blah.

^ fact is it doesnt mean much, as its beyond the frame of reference for most.

and , it just waters it down for those who really have success.

alot of this has nothing to do with elitism.

the community is like any other entity,

theres winners and losers. amateurs and pros.

the community is afraid to call individuals on this.

when we learn to distinguish kids from the pros, we shall evolve.

i post on the forums for one simple reason.

i wanna see you guys raise the bar and win.

i could care less on ego.

in RL im worshipped here at the beach like a goddess.

^ dont need more of that.

i actually come here to NOT be idolized,

and, to present stuff that advances teks ,or safety cautions for the community.

not many survive to my age.

those that learn , might survive it with enough advice from experience.

simply put, 35+ pro years of all this,

and ,im sick of peeps getting injured, sick, killed , throwed in prison ,

mostly due to dumb mistakes ..........so i post.
