Feel like Ben (a literal carpenter) tried to interject a few logical thoughts about his setup and got shut down by the Nutty Professor rambling on with his pseudoscience nonsense a few times during this. Was a little awkward to watch. BBS please.
Agreed, ps never shuts up and whenever ben interjected he would always give some half ass wave off response before he kept talking.
I haven’t gone to any higher learning, which is obvious, when reading what I post.
My limited understanding of what a professor does is that they would teach, and then someone would hopefully learn information, on whatever the subject was.
PS does more a 3 card Monty(grind) routine imo. Just keeps the conversation swirling, and then instead of coming to a conclusion, adds a new piece and runs down that tangent for awhile.
I mentioned this once before, and it wasn’t clever then, but I do not have a better example: years ago I was a waiter, and I was just never that interested in wine. I am not a super taster. I enjoy food, but I am not obsessed with the flavors. Remembering different tasting notes, that I would be infrequently called upon to recite, on a rotating list (absolutely part of the job, just a part I sucked at) just wasn’t happening. I would strangely be able to remember some cute little factoids such as ‘the label was drawn by a small child for a contest’, that was clearly of zero use to someone asking about what the wine tasted like. So I’d just, embarrassingly, say a bunch of shit, cheerfully, and then wait for the person to make the decision they were going to make anyways. PS has a similar energy for me.
Tbf, somewhat like wine, there lots of board characteristics. Some like it steep, some want a less processed wine with sediment, notes of sulfur, flat concave. Dude is a fucking maniac tho. His best boards are fantastic, and probably my favorite. Lots of shit ones in there tho. And trying to learn something from this guy is wild. Partially my small brains, and partially his snake oil delivery, but I often feel more confused by his ‘information’.
I wish an alternative to ‘the professor’ would present themselves.
